(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 were no options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2021. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2021 was $7.1 million. There were no options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2020. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2020 was $35,606. As of September 28, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $5.4 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years.
