Stock-based Compensation

 

NOTE 20:  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Kodak’s stock incentive plan is the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).  The 2013 Plan is administered by the Compensation Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards.  Stock options are generally non-qualified, are at exercise prices equal to or greater than the closing price of Kodak’s stock on the date of grant and expire seven years after the grant date.  Stock-based compensation awards granted under Kodak’s stock incentive plan are generally subject to a three-year vesting period from the date of grant, or a later date as determined by the Compensation Nominating and Governance Committee.  Awards are subject to settlement in newly-issued shares of common stock.  Unless sooner terminated by the Compensation Nominating and Governance Committee, no awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan after May 20, 2030.

The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2013 Plan is 8.0 million. In addition, under the 2013 Plan, the maximum number of shares available for the grant of incentive stock options is 2.0 million shares. The maximum number of shares as to which stock options or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any one person under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year is 2.5 million shares.

The maximum number of awards that may be granted to any non-employee director under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year may not exceed a number of awards with a grant date fair value of $450,000, computed as of the grant date.

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service or performance period for each separately vesting tranche of the award and is adjusted for actual forfeitures before vesting.  Kodak assesses the likelihood that performance-based shares will be earned based on the probability of meeting the performance criteria.  For those performance-based awards that are deemed probable of achievement, expense is recorded, and for those awards that are deemed not probable of achievement, no expense is recorded. Kodak assesses the probability of achievement each quarter.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are payable in shares of the Company common stock upon vesting.  The fair value is based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.  Compensation cost related to restricted stock units was $1 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.91 and $2.85, respectively.  The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested was $2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  As of September 30, 2020 , there was $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.3 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options on the last trading day of the period.  The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the Kodak closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.

 

The Company issued stock-based compensation grants for 2.4 million stock options on July 27, 2020.  The terms of 1.8 million of the options awarded on July 27, 2020 provided for immediate vesting or vesting upon conversion of the Notes.  As 100% of the Notes were converted during the three months ended September 30, 2020, the 1.8 million options with accelerated vesting terms vested in that same period.  The remaining 0.6 million options provide for vesting terms of between two and three years.  The valuation of the stock options granted on July 27, 2020 resulted in approximately $11.8 million of compensation expense being recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

There were approximately 2.0 million options exercised in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The options exercised in 2020 included 0.3 million options exercised by ex-employees of Kodak that had previously been forfeited.  The Company issued shares to the ex-employees in exchange for proceeds based on the exercise prices of the forfeited options.  The Company is accounting for the exercise of the forfeited options as a modification of the original awards.

 

The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, related to the 0.3 million previously forfeited options representing the fair value of the shares issued to the ex-employees less the exercise proceeds received from the ex-employees, which is reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  

The Company is seeking to recover the fair value of the shares at the time of the sale of the shares by the ex-employees less the exercise proceeds and withholding (approximately $3.9 million) and the right to retain any refund of the withholding taxes the Company is seeking to obtain on behalf of the ex-employees (approximately $3.0 million).  There are no assurances the Company will be successful in its claims against the ex-employees or in its recovery of the withholding taxes.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019  was $8.91 and $2.47,  respectively.  The total fair value of options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $13 million and $7 million, respectively.  Compensation cost related to stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019  was $18 million and $4 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, there was $3.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Other than for the awards granted on July 27, 2020, Kodak utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options.  

The expected term of options granted is the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding and is calculated using a simplified method based on the option’s vesting period and original contractual term.  The Company used only the historical volatility of the Company’s stock to estimate expected volatility. The risk-free rate was based on the yield on U.S. Treasury notes with a term equal to the option’s expected term.

The following inputs were used in the Black-Scholes valuation of option grants issued in each period:

Given the recent volatility of the Company’s stock price, the Company utilized a lattice-based valuation model to value the time-based vesting awards granted July 27, 2020 and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to value the options granted on July 27, 2020 which vested upon conversion of the Notes.
