Equity Incentive Plan |
Note 5: Equity Incentive Plan
Our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) authorizes our Board of Directors to
grant incentive and non-statutory stock option grants, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards, restricted stock units, performance unit awards and performance share awards covering a
maximum of 1,000 shares of our common stock. The Equity Incentive Plan replaced our prior stock
option plans, under which there are no outstanding options. Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan,
we have granted incentive and non-statutory options to directors, officers and key employees at
prices not less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of grant. In addition, we have
granted restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, officers and key employees. The
Equity Incentive Plan provides for a variety of vesting dates with the majority of the outstanding
grants vesting at a rate of one-third per year over a period of three years from the date of grant.
All outstanding options expire in October 2011.
Stock Options
The following table summarizes certain information relative to options for common stock:
There were no stock options granted or vested during the three months ended August 31, 2011 and
2010. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised is calculated as the difference between
the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq
Stock Market on the date of measurement. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during
the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $7, respectively. Shares of newly
issued common stock are issued upon any exercise of stock options.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units represent the right to receive one share of our common stock, provided that
the vesting conditions are satisfied. The following table represents restricted stock unit
activity for the three months ended August 31, 2011:
We granted 84 and 96 restricted stock units during the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. As of August 31, 2011, we have unrecognized share-based compensation cost of
approximately $2,567 associated with restricted stock unit awards. This cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.
Accounting for Share Based Payments
Accounting guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, to be recognized as compensation
expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. Compensation expense
is recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of any option grant. Our
computation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility. Our computation of expected
term is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the
contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee
behavior. The expected term represents the period that our option awards are expected to be
outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards. The risk-free
interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term equal to the expected term
of the option at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on
historical experience. We use the market price of our common stock on the date of grant to
calculate the fair value of each grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units.
We recorded $326 and $195 of stock-based compensation as part of selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises during the period the options are
exercised, generally for the excess of the fair value of our common stock at the date of exercise
over the exercise price of the options, and dividends paid on vested restricted stock units.
Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess
of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for such options. The total tax
benefit realized from stock option exercises, shares issued and dividend payments for vested
restricted stock units for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 was $36 and $14,
respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises was $0 and $149 for the three months ended
August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
