Stock-Based Compensation | Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation Employee Equity Plans In January 2015, our board of directors adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which became effective prior to the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO” ). Awards granted under the 2015 Plan may be (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonstatutory stock options, (iii) restricted stock units, (iv) restricted stock awards or (v) stock appreciation rights, as determined by our board of directors at the time of grant. Generally, our restricted stock units vest over four years and, (a) for employee new hire restricted stock unit grants, twenty-five percent vest one year from the vesting commencement date and continue to vest 1/16 th per quarter thereafter; or (b) for employee refresh restricted stock unit grants, 1/16 th per quarter vest from the vesting commencement date. As of April 30, 2022 , 23,256,575 shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2015 Plan. In January 2015, our board of directors adopted the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 ESPP” ), which became effective prior to the completion of our IPO. The 2015 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock at a discount of up to 15 % through payroll deductions of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. The 2015 ESPP provides for 24-month offering periods beginning March 16 and September 16 of each year, and each offering period consists of four six-month purchase periods. On each purchase date, eligible employees may purchase our stock at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of our stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of our stock on the purchase date. In the event the price is lower on the last day of any purchase price period, in addition to using that price as the basis for that purchase period, the offering period resets and the new lower price becomes the new offering price for a new 24 month offering period. As of April 30, 2022 , 5,795,134 shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2015 ESPP.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units We use performance-based incentives for certain employees, including our named executive officers, to achieve our annual financial and operational objectives, while making progress towards our longer-term strategic and growth goals. Based on a review of our actual achievement of pre-established corporate financial objectives and additional inputs from our Compensation Committee, the Fiscal 2022 Executive Bonus Plan was determined, settled and paid out in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 in the form of fully vested restricted stock units. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, our Compensation Committee also adopted and approved the performance criteria and targets for the Fiscal 2023 Executive Bonus Plan, which is expected to be paid out in the form of cash and fully vested restricted stock units in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 , we recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023 Executive Bonus Plans in the amount of $ 4.5 million and $ 2.4 million, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense related to the ungranted and unvested Fiscal 2023 Executive Bonus Plan is $ 10.9 million, based on the expected performance against the pre-established corporate financial objectives as of April 30, 2022, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of less than one year. 2015 ESPP As of April 30, 2022 , there was $ 16.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the 2015 ESPP that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the respective offering periods.
