12.  Stock-Based Compensation

On April 4, 2019, our Board adopted The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted share units may be granted to staff members, consultants and non-employee directors. The Plan replaced the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

The following table presents the stock-based compensation recorded in the consolidated financial statements:

(1)Aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between our closing stock price at fiscal period end and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and represents the pre-tax amount that would have been received by the option holders, had they all exercised their options on the fiscal period end date.

There was no option exercised during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2020. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 was $35.6 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2019 was $0.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $9.4 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 5.2 years.

Fair value of our restricted shares and restricted share units is based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value for restricted shares and restricted share units issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 was $23.56 and $45.15, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2019 was $1.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and restricted share units was $44.6 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.2 years.
