The Company’s deferred compensation stock program is subject to variable plan accounting and, accordingly, is adjusted for changes in the Company’s stock price at the end of each reporting period. During February 2014, the Company entered into a share swap transaction agreement ("the swap") to mitigate the Company’s exposure to these fluctuations in the Company's stock price. The swap was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and is cancellable with 30 days written notice by either party. The swap has a notional value based on 147,750 shares. For the year ended January 3, 2015, the swap transaction resulted in losses of $0.8 million which were offset by gains on the fair value of the deferred compensation stock liability. All gains or losses and expenses related to the swap are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of income within the “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” line.
