(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.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2022 and March 30, 2021 was $4.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. As of March 29, 2022, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $4.1 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 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 first quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021 was $39.59 and $48.38, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2022 and March 30, 2021 was $12.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. As of March 29, 2022, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and restricted share units was $61.7 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years.
