Equity Incentive Plan

 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, time-based and performance-contingent restricted stock units (RSUs), time-based and performance-contingent RSAs, and stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. As of June 30, 2014, total shares remaining available for issuance under the 2012 Plan were 2,533,778.

 

Performance-Contingent RSAs

 

Over the past three years, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) has approved grants of performance-contingent RSAs to senior management and a non-executive officer. Generally, these awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance goals by a pre-specified date, as well as a requirement for continued employment. When the performance goals are probable of achievement for these types of awards, time-based vesting and, as a result, recognition of stock-based compensation expense commence. Included in these performance-contingent RSAs is the grant of 1,290,000 special long-term retention and incentive performance-contingent RSAs to senior management in 2011. The awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance conditions over a six-year timeframe from 2011 through December 31, 2016 and require continued employment.

 

As of March 31, 2014, we determined that the achievement of the requisite performance conditions for vesting of the first tranche of these awards was probable and, as a result, $6.8 million of the total stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2014.  The total stock-based compensation expense of $7.0 million for the first tranche was recognized through May 2014.

 

In May 2014, our Compensation Committee approved the modification of the remaining tranches related to these awards contingent upon the Spin-Off as the performance conditions associated with these awards were unlikely to be consistent with the new strategies of each company following the separation.  The modification acknowledged the Spin-Off and permitted recognition of achievement of the original performance conditions that were met prior to the Spin-Off, triggering service-based vesting for a portion of the equity awards. The remaining tranches of the equity awards remain subject to performance and service conditions. The remaining potential stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards after the modification is $24.5 million, of which $10.7 million is expected to be recognized by either us or Theravance Biopharma, based on which company employs the individuals who hold these awards during the twelve-month service period commencing in June 2014.

In connection with the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma were distributed to our stockholders as a pro-rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one share of Theravance Biopharma common stock for every 3.5 shares held of Theravance common stock to stockholders of record on May 15, 2014.  Outstanding stock options and RSUs that were not eligible for the dividend distribution were adjusted for the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma.  The number of shares and exercise price for all outstanding stock options were adjusted and the number of shares for all outstanding RSUs was adjusted. All other terms of these grants remain the same; provided, however, that the vesting and expiration of these grants are based on the holder’s continuing employment or service with us or Theravance Biopharma, as applicable.

 

Although the anti-dilution adjustments were required pursuant to the terms of each stock plan, the anti-dilution adjustments were calculated using a volume-weighted average stock price, rather than the stock price as of the date of the dividend distribution, which resulted in incremental compensation expense.  The accounting impact of the adjustment to the outstanding stock options and RSUs that occurred in connection with the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma was measured by comparing of the fair values of the modified stock options and RSUs to our employees and directors immediately before and after the adjustment. As a result, we recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, of which $0.9 million is included in discontinued operations.  All remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with this adjustment will be recognized by Theravance Biopharma as it pertains to stock options and RSUs held by individuals now employed by Theravance Biopharma or one if its affiliates.

 

Stockholders’ Equity

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, options to purchase 79,000 shares of our common stock were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $12.89 per share, for total cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.
