STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
For a discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, refer to Note 9 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018.
The Company’s stock-based compensation expense primarily includes the fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Stock-based compensation expense was $32.1 million and $27.6 million during the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively.
Restricted Stock
The Company issues serviced-based RSUs to employees and officers and issues performance-based RSUs to certain officers of the Company. The Company recognizes expense based on the estimated fair value of the RSUs granted over the requisite service period, which is generally three years, on a straight-line basis or a shorter period based on the retirement eligibility of the grantee. The fair value of RSUs is determined using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes the status of RSU’s as of May 5, 2018 and changes during the 13 weeks then ended.
