Non-vested

Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Units

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding shares of

non-vested

restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units (defined below) under the Plans:


	Number of Shares and Deferred Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 29, 2018		55,987		$	93.66
Granted		30,338		$	102.76
Vested		(21,165	)	$	92.66

Non-vested at June 29, 2019		65,160		$	98.22

The fair value of each share of non-vested restricted stock issued and Deferred Stock Unit granted under the Plans is based on the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Shares of non-vested restricted stock are generally subject to vesting in three equal annual installments either on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the grant or the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of the grant, or 100% on the first or fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2013 DSCP plan, each recipient may elect to defer receipt of shares and instead receive restricted stock units (“Deferred Stock Units”), which represent contingent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of recipient separation from service from the Board of Directors, or, if earlier, upon a change in control event of the Company. Deferred Stock Units become vested 100% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Deferred Stock Units do not represent actual ownership in shares of the Company’s common stock and the recipient does not have voting rights or other incidents of ownership until the shares are issued. However, Deferred Stock Units do contain the right to receive dividend equivalent payments prior to settlement into shares.

As of June 29, 2019, there was $4,996,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to

non-vested

shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units granted under the Plans. The unrecognized compensation cost related to these

non-vested

shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
