STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2026, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards to employees under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 160,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) and approximately 220,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The fair market value of Kontoor Common Stock on the April 1, 2026 grant date was $70.90 per share and was used to value the awards.
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 up to 25% of the target award, subject to a 0% floor, 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.
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.
