STRATTEC SECURITY CORP Stock Compensation Disclosure
NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has granted service-based restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") to employees and non-employee directors under the Strattec Security Corporation 2024 Equity Incentive Plan ("2024 Equity Incentive Plan"). Prior to October 2024, stock options and RSAs were granted under the Amended and Restated Strattec Security Corporation Stock Incentive Plan ("Stock Incentive Plan"). Awards granted under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares become available for re-issuance. No additional grants will be made under the Stock Incentive Plan.
The number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is 550,000. As of June 29, 2025, there were 435,742 shares available for future awards.
Shares of restricted stock granted under approved plans have voting rights, earn dividends and vest over a pre-determined period of time, up to three years from the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted stock awards are based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.
As of June 29, 2025, 16,878 PSUs were outstanding which may be earned based on the achievement of certain financial metrics over the three-year period ending June 27, 2027. The PSUs will vest ranging from 0% (for performance below threshold) to 200% (for performance above target) and continued employment. The fair value of PSUs was based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The PSUs earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period while compensation expense is recognized over the service period when it is probable that the performance criteria will be met. As of June 29, 2025, there was $567,000 of unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested PSUs and $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSAs, which will be expensed over the remaining vesting period of approximately 2 years.

About Stock Compensation Disclosures
Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.
Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
