Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table summarizes information as of April 30, 2022, about our equity compensation plans under which we have made grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, market value units, performance units, or other equity awards.

1Includes 1,272,605 Class B common shares to be issued upon exercise of stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SSARs); 124,900 Class B performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs); 145,294 Class A PBRSUs; 169,156 Class A common deferred stock units (DSUs); and 55,829 Class B common DSUs issued under the Brown-Forman 2004 or 2013 Omnibus Compensation Plans. SSARs are exercisable for an amount of our common stock with a value equal to the increase in the fair market value of the common stock from the date the SSARs were granted. The fair market value of our common stock at fiscal year-end has been used for the purposes of reporting the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the 4,232,521 SSARs outstanding at fiscal year-end.

2PBRSUs and DSUs have no exercise price because their value depends on continued employment or service over time, and are to be settled for shares of Class B common stock. Accordingly, these have been disregarded for purposes of computing the weighted-average exercise price.
