(1)	Represents additional shares earned under each of the February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020 RSU awards, as fiscal year 2022 financial results exceeded target performance level.

During the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2023, the Company granted RSUs with a performance condition. Outstanding RSUs at both December 31, 2022 and April 1, 2023 include RSUs with a performance condition and RSUs with a market condition, as further described below and in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form

10-K.

RSUs with a performance condition granted on February 3, 2023 may vest on January 31 of 2026, 2027 and 2028 based on growth in operating income and

pre-tax

income per diluted share from continuing operations as compared to the results from the 2022 fiscal year.

The Company recognized approximately $958,000 and $1,301,000 of share-based compensation expense related to RSU awards in the thirteen-week periods ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively. As of April 1, 2023, there was a maximum of $30.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Plans with an expected average remaining life of approximately 4.0 years. With respect to RSU awards with a performance condition, the amount of future compensation expense to be recognized will be determined based on future operating results.

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 31, 2022		47,795		$	138.30
Granted		16,757		$	180.42
Vested		(16,857	)	$	131.56

Non-vested at April 1, 2023		47,695		$	155.48

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, third or fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2022 DSCP, 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 April 1, 2023, there was $5,578,000 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 2.5 years.
