Long-Term Incentive Plans

H. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”).  All equity awards granted under these long-term incentive plans were issued from the Company’s stockholder approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note I, “Stock Compensation Plans.”

2017-2018 LTIP

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a 25% payout of its performance targets for the 2017-2018 LTIP, resulting in awards totaling $0.5 million, with a grant date of March 19, 2019.  On that date, the Company granted 150,299 RSUs, which vested, net of any forfeitures, on August 31, 2019.  In conjunction with the grant of the RSUs, the Company reclassified $0.3 million of the liability accrual from “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital” in fiscal 2019. See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. In addition to the performance awards, the Company has been recognizing stock-based compensation of approximately $2.0 million for its time-based awards, which is being expensed over thirty-six months, through April 1, 2020.

2018-2020 LTIP and 2019-2021 LTIP

At the end of fiscal 2019, the Company has two active LTIPs: 2018-2020 LTIP and 2019-2021 LTIP. Each participant in the plan participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage.  Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting.  All time-based awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP were restricted stock units (RSUs).  For the 2019-2021 LTIP, 50% of the time-based awards granted were RSUs and 50% were cash.

 

In June 2018, the Company amended its LTIP to, among other things, extend the performance period for awards to three years, beginning with grants in fiscal 2018. Performance targets for the 2018-2020 LTIP and the 2019-2021 LTIP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee on October 24, 2018 and August 7, 2019, respectively.  Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2022, respectively.  The time-based awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP and the 2019-2021 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2022 and April 1, 2023, respectively.   Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2018-2020 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $3.8 million.  Approximately half of the compensation expense relates to the time-vested RSUs, which is being expensed straight-line over 41 months. Through the end of fiscal 2019, the Company has accrued $0.2 million for performance awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP.  For the 2019-2021 LTIP, assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense is estimated to be approximately $3.9 million.  Approximately half of the compensation relates to time-based awards, 50% RSUs and 50% cash, which is being expensed straight-line over 44 months. There was no accrual at February 1, 2020 for performance awards under the 2019-2021 LTIP.
