Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Teledyne has long-term incentive plans pursuant to which it has granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance shares to certain employees. The Company also has non-employee director stock compensation plans, pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and common stock, and beginning in 2015 restricted stock units, have been issued to its directors. After 2014, non-employee directors no longer receive non-qualified stock options.
Stock Incentive Plan
The following disclosures are based on stock options granted to Teledyne’s employees and directors. Stock option compensation expense was $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, and was $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2016. Employee stock option grants are charged to expense evenly over the three year vesting period. For 2017, the Company currently expects approximately $14.8 million in stock option compensation expense based on stock options currently outstanding. This amount can be impacted by employee retirements and terminations or stock options granted during the remainder of the year. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.
