STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANIn connection with the IPO, the Company's board of directors adopted the SecureWorks Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan became effective on April 18, 2016, and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date unless the 2016 Plan is terminated earlier by the board of directors or in connection with a change in control of SecureWorks Corp. The Company has reserved 12,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to individuals who are employees, officers or non-employee directors of the Company or any of its affiliates, consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its affiliates, and any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The Company utilizes both authorized and unissued shares to satisfy all shares issued under the 2016 Plan. During the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019, the 2016 Plan was amended to increase the total shares of Class A common stock available for issuance by an additional 4,000,000 shares. As of January 29, 2021, there were approximately 1,974,275 shares of Class A common stock available for future grants under the 2016 Plan. Stock Options Under the 2016 Plan, the exercise price of each option will be determined by the compensation committee, except that the exercise price may not be less than 100% (or, for incentive stock options to any 10% stockholder, 110%) of the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date on which the option is granted. The term of an option may not exceed ten years (or, for incentive stock options to any 10% stockholder, five years) from the date of grant. The compensation committee will determine the time or times at which each option may be exercised and the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or termination of employment during which options may be exercised. Options may be made exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the compensation committee. During the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, no stock options were granted to employees or directors. The Company recognized $1.4 million, $2.7 million and $3.7 million in compensation expense for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, respectively, for previously granted options. The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The expected term was estimated using the SEC simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is the continuously compounded, term-matching, zero-coupon rate from the valuation date. The volatility is the leverage-adjusted, term-matching, historical volatility of peer firms. The dividend yield assumption is consistent with management expectations of dividend distributions based upon the Company’s business plan at the date of grant. The following table summarizes stock option activity and options outstanding and exercisable for the fiscal years ended, and as of, January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019. Number Weighted- Weighted- Weighted-Average Grant date Fair Value Per Share Aggregate Intrinsic Value 1 (in thousands) Balance, February 2, 2018 2,525,102 $ 14.00 Granted — — Exercised (9,826) 14.00 Canceled, expired or forfeited (27,514) 14.00 Balance, February 1, 2019 2,487,762 $ 14.00 Granted — — Exercised (94,826) 14.00 Canceled, expired or forfeited (144,939) 14.00 Balance, January 31, 2020 2,247,997 $ 14.00 Granted — — Exercised (104,921) 14.00 Canceled, expired or forfeited (367,511) 14.00 Balance, January 29, 2021 1,775,565 $ 14.00 5.2 $ 6.01 $ — Options vested and expected to vest, January 29, 2021 1,775,565 $ 14.00 5.2 $ 6.01 $ — Options exercisable, January 29, 2021 1,597,728 $ 14.00 5.2 $ 6.02 $ — (1) The aggregate intrinsic values represent the total pre-tax intrinsic values based on the Company's closing share price of $13.84 as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2021, that would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money options been exercised as of that date. The total fair value of options vested was $2.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, respectively. At January 29, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $0.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining requisite period of less than one year. In connection with the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in 2013, the Company’s compensation programs included grants under the Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). Under the 2013 Plan, time-based and performance-based options to purchase shares of the Series C common stock of Dell Technologies were awarded to two of the Company's executive officers. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, all unvested time-based awards were forfeited and 32,000 vested time-based stock options remained outstanding and 400,001 performance-based options remained unvested and outstanding subject to award terms. During the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019, the 400,001 performance-based options vested with a total fair value of $2.4 million. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, 90,000 options were exercised with a pre-tax intrinsic value of $3.8 million. Cash proceeds received by Dell Technologies from the exercise of these stock options were $1.3 million and the tax benefit realized was $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. During the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021, 332,001 options were exercised with a pre-tax intrinsic value of $16.1 million. Cash proceeds received by Dell Technologies from the exercise of these stock options were $4.6 million and the tax benefit realized was $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021. As of January 29, 2021, 10,000 time-based stock options remained outstanding. Given that all outstanding options vested in fiscal 2019, the Company recognized no related compensation expense for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021 and January 31, 2020 and recognized compensation expense of $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Under the 2016 Plan, a restricted stock award ("RSA") is an award of shares of Class A common stock that may be subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the compensation committee determines in its sole discretion on the date of grant. The restrictions, if any, may lapse over a specified period of time or through the satisfaction of conditions, in installments or otherwise as the Company's compensation committee may determine. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, a grantee who receives restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder as to those shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or distributions on the shares of Class A common stock, except that the compensation committee may require any dividends to be withheld and accumulated contingent on vesting of the underlying shares or reinvested in shares of restricted stock. Under the 2016 Plan, a restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the grantee’s right to receive a compensation amount, based on the value of the shares of Class A common stock, if vesting criteria or other terms and conditions established by the compensation committee are met. If the vesting criteria or other terms and conditions are met, the Company may settle, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement, restricted stock units in cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of the two. All award agreements currently outstanding require settlement in shares of Class A common stock. In connection with the IPO, the Company granted RSAs and RSUs to employees and directors. The fair value of the RSAs and RSUs was $14.00 per share and all will vest over an average service period of four years. During the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019 the Company issued additional restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees at weighted-average fair values per share of $11.60, $16.93 and $9.78, respectively. The Company's annual grants of RSAs and RSUs issued during the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019 vest ratably over three years. Approximately 15% of such awards are subject to performance conditions for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021 and 50% were subject to performance conditions for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019. Of the 4.5 million RSAs and RSUs outstanding on January 29, 2021, approximately 0.9 million were performance-based awards and 3.6 million were service-based awards. For the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021, approximately 38,000 shares were additionally granted for the performance-based awards that were tied to results for that fiscal year. The Company recognized compensation expense related to RSAs and RSUs of $23.0 million, $16.8 million and $15.2 million for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, respectively. At January 29, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units was $33.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining requisite period of 2.1 years. The following table summarizes activity for restricted stock and restricted stock units for the fiscal years ended, and as of, January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019.

Fiscal Year Ended January 29, January 31, February 1, (in thousands) Cost of revenue $ 1,346 $ 1,206 $ 780 Research and development 4,410 4,280 4,133 Sales and marketing 3,676 1,694 2,652 General and administrative 14,982 12,368 11,805 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 24,414 $ 19,548 $ 19,370 The tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $4.1 million, $4.6 million and $4.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019 respectively. Long-term Incentive Cash Awards In March 2017, the Company began granting long-term cash awards to certain employees. The employees who receive the cash awards do not receive equity awards as part of the long-term incentive program. The majority of the cash awards issued prior to the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021 are subject to various performance conditions and vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. The cash awards issued during the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021 are not subject to any performance conditions and vest in equal installments over a three-year period. For the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, the Company granted awards of approximately $8.7 million, $7.2 million and $16.5 million, respectively, and recognized $7.0 million, $8.1 million and $7.4 million of related compensation expense, respectively. Employee Benefit Plan Substantially all employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan that complies with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“401(k) Plan”). Historically, and through May 31, 2020, the Company matched 100% of each participant’s voluntary contributions ("401(k) employer match"), subject to a maximum contribution of 6% of the participant’s compensation, up to an annual limit of $7,500, and participants vest immediately in all contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Effective June 1, 2020, the Company suspended the 401(k) employer match as a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility in light of COVID-19. Effective January 1, 2021, the 401(k) employer match was reinstated, with no changes to the employer match policy or participant eligibility requirements. For the fiscal years ended January 29, 2021, January 31, 2020 and February 1, 2019, total expense under this plan was $6.7 million, $10.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The Company’s expense decreased during the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021 due to the suspension of the 401(k) employer match contribution between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. |
