Share-Based Compensation Plans
Note 5 - Share-Based Compensation Plans

As part of our compensation structure, we grant share-based compensation awards to certain employees and non-employee members of our Board of Directors during the fiscal year. These awards may be subject to attainment of certain service conditions, performance conditions and/or market conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we granted 94,807 service condition awards (“Service Condition Awards”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $110.85. Additionally, we granted 252,522 performance-based awards during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, of which 126,318 contained performance conditions (“Performance Condition Awards”) and 126,204 contained market conditions (“Market Condition Awards”), with weighted average grant date fair values of $110.85 and $80.50, respectively. Refer to our Form 10-K for further information on the Company's share-based compensation plans.
