Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<div style="margin-top:10pt">Basis of Presentation</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of each calendar year. The fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”), December 29, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and December 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) contained 52 weeks, 52 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Principles of Consolidation</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company does not hold ownership interests in any franchisee and does not provide financial support to franchisees. As a result, the Company’s franchise relationships are not variable interest entities and are not consolidated. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Use of Estimates</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates and such differences could be material. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Business Combinations</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company’s business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The consideration transferred in a business combination, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The fair value of reacquired rights is determined as of the acquisition date by Management using the excess earnings method. Under this method, the fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows arising from the reacquired rights over their estimated economic lives. The assumptions that have the most significant effect on the fair value calculations are projected Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT”) margins and the discount rate. Goodwill is recognized for the amount by which the purchase consideration exceeds the fair values of the net assets acquired. Costs incurred in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred. The results of operations of the businesses that were acquired are included as of their respective dates of acquisition.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Fair Value of Financial Instruments</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable inputs and the last is considered unobservable. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.848%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:9.673%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:28.642%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:28.642%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:28.643%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Level 1</td><td colspan="9" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Level 2</td><td colspan="9" style="background-color:#ffffff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Observable inputs available other than quoted prices included in Level 1</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Level 3</td><td colspan="9" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Unobservable inputs based on assumptions that cannot be determined by observable market data</td></tr></table></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Interest Rate Swaps</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Interest rate swaps are used as an element of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy with the intent of reducing cash flow exposure to variability in expected future interest rates. Management has elected to designate and qualify the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As such, the instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Thereafter, gains or losses on the instruments are recognized in equity as changes to Other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings at the time of the Company’s debt-interest payments. The Company has elected to record cash flows from interest rate swaps within operating activities, the same category as the items being hedged, in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Cash and Cash Equivalents</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Amounts receivable from credit card processors are considered cash equivalents because they are highly liquid and are typically converted to cash within three business days.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Concentrations of Credit Risk</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of market and credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of these risks. Management periodically assesses the quality of the financial institutions and believes that the risk related to these deposits is minimal. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts Receivable</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from franchisees, receivables from third-party delivery providers, receivables from gift card sales and vendor rebates. The Company believes all amounts to be collectible based on a variety of factors it evaluates, including historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses or doubtful accounts has been recorded as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Inventory </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Inventory consists primarily of food and beverage costs and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Adjustments are not deemed necessary to reduce inventory to net realizable value due to the rapid turnover and utilization of inventory. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Leases </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company’s restaurant facilities, corporate offices and certain restaurant equipment are leased under various agreements having initial terms expiring between 2026 and 2041. Restaurant facility leases generally have renewal periods of five to 20 years, exercisable at the option of the Company. At the commencement of each lease, an evaluation is performed to determine whether (i) the contract involves the use of property or equipment, (ii) the Company controls the use of the asset and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Management determines the classification of lease contracts as operating or finance leases. The majority of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases and the majority of the Company’s equipment leases are classified as finance leases. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">For operating leases with lease terms greater than 12 months, a lease liability is recognized for future fixed lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the future fixed lease payments that will be made over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as there are no implicit rates provided in the lease contracts. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is based on a market yield implied by the Company’s outstanding secured term loans interpolated for various maturities using the Company’s synthetic credit rating, which was determined using a regression analysis of rated comparable publicly-traded companies and their financial data. Occupancy expense, which includes the effects of free rent periods and rent escalation clauses within certain of the Company’s leases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of lease expense. The lease term, which commences on the date the Company has the right to control the use of the property, includes the Company’s options to extend the lease to the extent it is reasonably certain that the renewal options will be exercised. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Leases with indexed rent escalation clauses are recorded using the index that existed at lease commencement or upon the latest modification requiring remeasurement. Subsequent changes in the index are recorded as variable lease expense. Contingent rent payments, which are based on a percentage of sales for certain restaurant facilities, are recorded as variable lease expense when the Company determines that such sales levels will be achieved. In addition to fixed lease payments, certain of the Company’s real estate leases also require payment of a proportionate share of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, which are expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and future variable rent obligations are not included within the lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The operating lease right-of-use asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments for (i) rent prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement, (ii) landlord incentives and (iii) favorable and unfavorable leasehold positions.

If the total future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, this may be an indicator of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For in-restaurant dining and take-out sales, revenues are recognized when payment is tendered. For delivery sales made through the Company’s mobile application and website, the Company controls the delivery services and recognizes revenue, including delivery fees, when the delivery partner transfers the food and beverage to the customer. With respect to sales made through delivery partners’ mobile applications or websites, the Company recognizes revenue, excluding delivery fees collected by the delivery partner, when control of the food and beverage is transferred to the delivery partner. Payment is received from the delivery partner subsequent to the transfer of food and beverage and the payment terms are short-term. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Franchise revenues include initial franchise fees and ongoing sales-based royalty and system fund contributions, which are used for advertising, marketing and public relations programs and materials. The license granted to develop and operate a restaurant is the distinct performance obligation that is transferred to the franchisee. Ancillary promised services, such as training, which are not considered distinct within the context of the franchise agreement, are combined with the franchise license and are considered one distinct performance obligation. Payments for initial franchise fees are received either upon execution of the franchise agreement and/or upon opening of the restaurant. These payments are deferred and recognized as revenue throughout the contractual term of the related franchise agreement. Unamortized deferred franchise fees are recognized as revenue upon the termination of franchise agreements with franchisees. The short-term and long-term unamortized portion of these liabilities are included in Deferred revenues and in Other long-term liabilities, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Royalty and system fund contributions from franchisees are based on a percentage of sales and are recognized as revenue in the period the sales occurred.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Gift cards are sold at restaurants and certain retail venues.

Management estimates the amount of gift cards for which the likelihood of redemption is remote, referred to as “breakage,” using historical gift card redemption patterns. The estimated breakage is recognized over the expected period of redemption as the remaining gift card values are redeemed, which is generally over a period of two years. Utilizing this method, Management estimates both the breakage and the time period of redemption. If actual redemption patterns vary from these estimates, actual gift card breakage income may differ from the amounts recorded.

Under this method, deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the carrying value and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">When Management determines it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets. In the assessment for realization of deferred tax assets, Management considers all sources of taxable income including carryback available, scheduling of anticipated reversal of taxable temporary differences, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies and future taxable income expected.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Management evaluates our tax filing positions and recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if, based on its technical merits, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority. For uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold, we would record a related tax reserve in the period in which it arises. We would adjust our unrecognized tax benefit liability and provision for income taxes in the period in which the uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when new information becomes available that would require a change in recognition and/or measurement of the liability.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">We recognize interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes in interest expense and any related statutory penalties in the provision for income taxes.

Stock-based compensation expense for time-based awards is expensed over the requisite service period.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSU”) is determined by the market price of the Company’s stock on the date the RSU is granted. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term that the stock option awards will be outstanding prior to exercise, volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The assumptions underlying these valuations represented Management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of Management’s judgment. As a result, if Management had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of stock option awards and stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Stock option exercises and restricted stock unit vesting are settled with authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of each calendar year. The fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”), December 29, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and December 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) contained 52 weeks, 52 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Use of Estimates</div>The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates and such differences could be material.

<div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Interest Rate Swaps</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Interest rate swaps are used as an element of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy with the intent of reducing cash flow exposure to variability in expected future interest rates. Management has elected to designate and qualify the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As such, the instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Thereafter, gains or losses on the instruments are recognized in equity as changes to Other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings at the time of the Company’s debt-interest payments. The Company has elected to record cash flows from interest rate swaps within operating activities, the same category as the items being hedged, in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.</div>

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Concentrations of Credit Risk</div>Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of market and credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of these risks. Management periodically assesses the quality of the financial institutions and believes that the risk related to these deposits is minimal.

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts Receivable</div>Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from franchisees, receivables from third-party delivery providers, receivables from gift card sales and vendor rebates. The Company believes all amounts to be collectible based on a variety of factors it evaluates, including historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors.

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Inventory </div>Inventory consists primarily of food and beverage costs and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Adjustments are not deemed necessary to reduce inventory to net realizable value due to the rapid turnover and utilization of inventory.

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Leases </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company’s restaurant facilities, corporate offices and certain restaurant equipment are leased under various agreements having initial terms expiring between 2026 and 2041. Restaurant facility leases generally have renewal periods of five to 20 years, exercisable at the option of the Company. At the commencement of each lease, an evaluation is performed to determine whether (i) the contract involves the use of property or equipment, (ii) the Company controls the use of the asset and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Management determines the classification of lease contracts as operating or finance leases. The majority of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases and the majority of the Company’s equipment leases are classified as finance leases. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">For operating leases with lease terms greater than 12 months, a lease liability is recognized for future fixed lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the future fixed lease payments that will be made over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as there are no implicit rates provided in the lease contracts. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is based on a market yield implied by the Company’s outstanding secured term loans interpolated for various maturities using the Company’s synthetic credit rating, which was determined using a regression analysis of rated comparable publicly-traded companies and their financial data. Occupancy expense, which includes the effects of free rent periods and rent escalation clauses within certain of the Company’s leases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of lease expense. The lease term, which commences on the date the Company has the right to control the use of the property, includes the Company’s options to extend the lease to the extent it is reasonably certain that the renewal options will be exercised. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Leases with indexed rent escalation clauses are recorded using the index that existed at lease commencement or upon the latest modification requiring remeasurement. Subsequent changes in the index are recorded as variable lease expense. Contingent rent payments, which are based on a percentage of sales for certain restaurant facilities, are recorded as variable lease expense when the Company determines that such sales levels will be achieved. In addition to fixed lease payments, certain of the Company’s real estate leases also require payment of a proportionate share of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, which are expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and future variable rent obligations are not included within the lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The operating lease right-of-use asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments for (i) rent prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement, (ii) landlord incentives and (iii) favorable and unfavorable leasehold positions. The depreciable life of an operating lease right-of-use asset is limited by the lease term. The Company’s leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Fixed lease and non-lease components of the Company’s restaurant facility leases are accounted for as a single lease component. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, however, they are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Finance lease liabilities and corresponding finance lease assets are recognized at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. The amortization of finance lease assets is recognized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset within Depreciation and amortization. The interest expense related to finance leases, including any variable lease payments, is recognized in Interest expense. Finance lease assets are classified in Property, fixtures and equipment, net and current maturities and long-term portions of finance lease liabilities are classified within Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, net, respectively.</div>

credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and collectively with the Term Facilities the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on January 5, 2029. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">During Fiscal 2024, the Company drew $97.5 million of the $125.0 million delayed draw facility. The proceeds were used to repay $22.5 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and fund the business acquisition that was completed on April 15, 2024 for approximately $75.1 million. During Fiscal 2025, the Company drew the remaining $27.5 million on the delayed draw facility and $32.5 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, primarily to fund the business acquisitions referenced in Note 3, “Business Acquisitions”. As of December 28, 2025, the delayed draw facility was fully drawn with the same servicing and repayment terms as the term loan A facility.

Additionally, an unused commitment fee of between 37.5 and 50 basis points is paid on the undrawn commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility, also depending on the Total Rent Adjusted Net Leverage Ratio.

Interest Rate Swaps<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Interest rate swaps are utilized to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company’s variable rate debt.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $90.0 million and mature on October 6, 2026. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company will pay a weighted average fixed rate of 4.16% on the notional amount and will receive payments from, or make payments to, the counterparties based on the three-month SOFR rate.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into two additional variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million and mature on June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company pays a weighted average fixed rate of 4.42% on the notional amount and will receive payments from, or make payments to, the counterparties based on the three-month SOFR rate.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The fair value measurement of the interest rate swaps was based on the contractual terms and used observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. Although the majority of the inputs used to value the instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. The Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the derivative was classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to the interest rate swaps will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, a total of $0.1 million was reclassified from Other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, a total of $1.0 million was reclassified from Other comprehensive income (loss) as a reduction to interest expense. Over the next 12 months, Management estimates that $1.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.</div>

Stock-Based Compensation<div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">Equity Plans</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Company has two compensation plans that provide for the granting of stock options and other share-based awards to key employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Equity Plan”) and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”) provide for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and stock-based awards. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">2021 Equity Plan</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan (“Share Reserve”) for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 was 7,630,128, 6,416,126, and 5,218,292, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Equity Plan will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on December 26, 2022 and continuing for each fiscal year until, and including, the fiscal year ending on December 29, 2030, equal to the least of (i) 2.0% of the total number of shares of common stock actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, (ii) a number of shares of common stock determined by the Board of Directors; and (iii) the number of shares of common stock equal to the Share Reserve. If any award granted under the 2021 Equity Plan is cancelled, expired, forfeited, or surrendered without consideration or otherwise terminated without delivery of the shares to the participant, then such unissued shares will be returned to the 2021 Equity Plan and be available for future awards under the 2021 Equity Plan. Shares that are withheld from any award in payment of the exercise, base or purchase price or taxes related to such an award, not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of any award, or repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of a stock option will be deemed to have been delivered and will not be available for future awards under the 2021 Equity Plan. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The non-qualified time-based option awards granted under the 2021 Equity Plan in Fiscal 2022 vest over a three-year requisite service period from the date of grant and expire 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock units are granted at values equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for awards made under the 2021 Equity Plan is recognized on a straight-line recognition method over the requisite service period. There were no stock option awards granted under the 2021 Equity Plan after Fiscal 2022. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">2017 Equity Plan</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The 2017 Equity Plan authorizes stock-based awards to be granted for up to 6,138,240 shares of common stock. The awards granted under the 2017 Equity Plan consisted of non-qualified stock options that generally vest over a five-year requisite service period from the date of grant (the “time-based option awards”), as well as upon the occurrence of certain events and if certain market conditions were achieved (the “performance-based option awards”). Stock-based compensation expense related to the stock option awards issued under the 2017 Plan is recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period. All stock options have an exercisable life of no more than 10 years from the date of grant. No awards were granted under the 2017 Equity Plan after Fiscal 2021, and the Company does not intend to grant any further awards under the 2017 Equity Plan.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Modification of Performance-Based Option Awards - 2017 Equity Plan</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">On August 31, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the 2017 Equity Plan such that the performance-based option awards that convert into time-based option awards upon an initial public offering no longer vested over a period of three years, but instead vested one-third (1/3rd) on each of the first two anniversaries of an initial public offering and one-third (1/3rd) on the 273rd day following the second anniversary of an initial public offering. This was accounted for as a modification, resulting in a new fair value for all the performance-based option awards using an option-pricing model as of the modification date.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">On September 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors modified performance-based option awards that contained a market condition granted under the 2017 Equity Plan, such that the vesting terms for one such tranche were amended to waive the market condition. Accordingly, upon the Company’s IPO, such tranche converted into time-based option awards and vested one-third (1/3rd) on each of the first two anniversaries of the Company’s IPO and one-third (1/3rd) on the 273rd day following the second anniversary of the Company’s IPO. This was accounted for as a modification resulting in a new fair value using the option-pricing model for such performance-based option awards as of the modification date. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">On September 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors modified the terms of performance-based option awards granted under the 2017 Equity Plan to the Company’s Chairman Emeritus. The modification accelerated the vesting period of the performance-based option awards that convert into time-based option awards upon the Company’s IPO such that they no longer vested one-third (1/3rd) on each of the first two anniversaries of the Company’s IPO and one-third (1/3rd) on the 273rd day following the second anniversary of the Company’s IPO, but instead vested on August 1, 2022. Additionally, the exercise period of these time-based and performance-based vested option awards was modified such that any vested option may be exercised at any time prior to the 10th anniversary of the original grant date. These actions were accounted for as modifications and resulted in an increase of $0.3 million to the fair value of these awards.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO in October 2021, certain performance-based option awards converted into time-based option awards and stock compensation expense of $2.4 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021. The remaining expense is being recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the remaining service period. An immediate one-time charge of $5.6 million was recognized upon closing of the IPO, which included (i) the expense from the date of the modifications through the IPO date and (ii) the expense related to performance-based option awards for which the market condition was not satisfied upon the IPO.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">Stock

The expected volatility of stock options is based on the historical volatilities of a set of publicly traded peer companies in a similar industry as the Company lacks company-specific historical or implied volatility information. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the stock option award.
