The holders of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in dividends or other distributions. Class A common stockholders are entitled to one vote per share held. Class B and Class C common stockholders have no voting rights, except as otherwise provided by law. In the event of the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company, each class of stock will share equally, on a per share basis, in all the assets of the Company that are available for distribution to stockholders.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, December 26, 2019, and December 27, 2018 was $16.1 million, $8.7 million, and $6.5 million, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted with an exercise price greater than or equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, as authorized by the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee. Options granted have contractual terms of ten years and vesting provisions ranging from one year to five years. Stock options granted during fiscal 2020 vest in four ratable annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. Stock option grants are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting.
The fair value of stock option awards granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Fiscal Year Ended December 31,
2020
Fiscal Year Ended December 26,
2019
Fiscal Year Ended December 27,
2018
Weighted average fair value per stock option $ 22.27 $ 20.38 $ 15.63
Risk-free interest rate 1.17% 2.06% 3.05%
Expected volatility 39% 45% 45%
Expected life (in years) 5.75 6.68 6.29
Dividend yield —% —% —%
The Company determines the grant date fair value of stock options with assistance from a third-party valuation specialist. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock since its initial public offering in 2017 as well as the historical volatility of the common stock of similar public entities. The Company considers various factors in determining the appropriateness of the public entities used in determining expected volatility, including the entity's life cycle stage, industry, growth profile, size, financial leverage, and products offered. To determine the expected life of the options granted, the Company relied upon a combination of the observed exercise behavior of prior grants with similar characteristics and the contractual terms and vesting schedules of the current grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the term structure of interest rates at the time of the option grant.
The table below summarizes stock option activity for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020:

Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2020 2,071,137  $ 13.22  4.8 $ 164,918 
The fair value of stock options vested during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, December 26, 2019, and December 27, 2018 was $7.5 million, $7.5 million, and $4.9 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $135.5 million, $146.6 million, and $87.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, December 26, 2019, and December 27, 2018, respectively.
The Company’s total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options as of December 31, 2020 was $16.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
Restricted Stock Units
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted restricted stock units to certain employees that represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. These awards vest in four ratable annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. The fair value of the restricted stock units was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020:
Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 27, 2019 —  $ — 
Granted 133,256  59.24

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units as of December 31, 2020 was $6.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued restricted stock awards to certain executive officers and non-employee directors comprised of performance-based restricted stock, total shareholder return (“TSR”) awards, and service-based restricted stock. The performance-based restricted stock cliff vest based on (i) the Company's achievement of predetermined financial metrics at the end of a three-year performance period and (ii) the grantee’s continued service through the vesting date, which varies by grantee and ranges between approximately three to four years from the grant date. The TSR awards cliff vest based on (i) the Company's relative TSR compared to a specified peer group, with no vesting unless the Company’s TSR exceeds the median of the specified peer group and (ii) the grantee's continued service through the vesting date, which varies by grantee and ranges between approximately three to four years from the grant date.

The fair value of performance-based and service-based restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the TSR awards is estimated on grant date using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Compensation cost for restricted stock awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period, which for each of the awards is the service vesting period. As of December 31, 2020 and December 26, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was $15.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost remaining as of December 31, 2020 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.
The total fair value of restricted stock awards that vested during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 26, 2019 was $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. No restricted stock awards vested during fiscal 2018.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 17, 2018, our stockholders approved the Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became available to substantially all of our employees beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The ESPP is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, and it permits eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions, subject to certain limitations. The Company has designated a purchase price per share of common stock acquired under the ESPP at the lesser of 90% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock on either the first or last trading day of each six-month offering period. There are 1,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, approved for issuance under the ESPP, 56,389 and 104,363 of which were issued during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. During fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019, and fiscal 2018, the Company recognized $0.7 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP.
Deferred Compensation Plan
In October 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Director Nonqualified Excess Plan (the “Plan”) to provide for certain employees or independent contractors of the employer (including directors) to elect to defer compensation, including restricted stock grants, until they separate from service. The Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and is effective for compensation starting in fiscal 2020. Deferrals and related compensation expense under the Plan were immaterial in fiscal 2020.
