HPC Equity Units
Due to the completion of the HPC Transaction, employees of the HPC business participating in the Company's LTIP program were rolled into a new HPC-specific long term incentive plan, resulting in both: (i) the conversion of previously issued and unvested restricted stock units into a cash-based award indexed to a fair value of equity of the HPC business; and (ii) the issuance of new, HPC specific long term incentive plan awards under similar terms and conditions as of the Company's LTIP program (collectively, the "HPC equity units").
HPC equity units are recognized as share based compensation and include a combination of: (i) time-based grants and (ii) performance-based grants. Compensation cost is based on the expected cash-payment based upon the assessed fair value of the HPC equity, which is periodically reassessed, and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Time-based units provide for either a three year cliff vesting or graded vesting depending upon vesting conditions. Performance-based units are dependent upon achieving cumulative financial metrics specific to the HPC business (Adjusted EBITDA and Business Unit Cash Flow) by the end of the three year vesting period. The Company assessed the probability of achievement of the performance conditions and recognized expense for the awards based on the probable achievement of such metrics. As the awards are cash based, they are recognized as a liability and included within Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities for their current and long-term components, respectively, based upon respective vesting periods.
Each converted HPC equity award was based upon a defined conversion rate of the current market price of the Company stock relative to the assessed fair value of a common unit of the HPC business at the time of close for the HPC Transaction. Converted HPC equity units retain the original vesting terms of the converted LTIP award, as applicable. The conversion resulted in a modification of the previous LTIP grants, reversing previously recognized compensation previously included in the Company's consolidated APIC, converting to a liability based award and recognizing incremental share based compensation expense for HPC equity units for the three and nine month period ended June 28, 2026 based upon the relative fair value of the Company's share price. As of June 28, 2026, there are 0.5 million HPC equity units outstanding and a liability of $1.0 million.
