STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2023, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 230,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately 180,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, and approximately 20,000 shares of RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors. The fair market value of Kontoor Common Stock at the date the awards were granted was $48.39 per share and was used to value the RSUs and Director RSUs.
Each PRSU entitles the employee to receive a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of Kontoor Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance period. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of performance goals set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The actual number of shares earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by 25%, subject to a 0% floor, of the target award based on how Kontoor’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in a Company-selected peer group. Shares earned related to the 2023 grants will be issued to participants following the conclusion of the three-year performance period.
Each employee RSU entitles the holder to one share of Kontoor Common Stock and typically vests over a three-year period. Each RSU granted to a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors vests upon grant and will be settled in one share of Kontoor Common Stock one year from the date of grant.
