Note H — Stock-Based Compensation

 

Compensation expense for stock-based awards is based on the fair values of the awards on the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire award in the “Labor” line of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $4.1 million, $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

 

In May 2013 our stockholders approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2013 Plan), pursuant to which we may issue up to 5.0 million shares of stock-based awards to directors, employees and consultants.  The 2013 Plan replaced the stockholder-approved 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2005 Plan), pursuant to which we issued equity securities to directors, officers and key employees.  No additional stock-based awards will be granted under the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan, but awards previously granted under the 2005 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms.  The 2005 Plan in turn replaced the stockholder-approved 1991 Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan), pursuant to which we issued stock options to directors, officers and key employees.  No additional equity awards have been granted under the 1991 Plan since the effectiveness of the 2005 Plan. As of December 31, 2014, there were 3.2 million shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.

 

In July 2013 we granted equity awards to our President and Chief Executive Officer as a material inducement to his acceptance of such positions.  These option, restricted stock and performance unit awards (2013 CEO Plan) were not submitted for stockholder approval, and were separately registered with the SEC and listed with the NYSE.

 

Stock Options

Under the 2013 CEO Plan, the option award was granted at an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date.  The options granted become exercisable in 25% increments on the first through fourth anniversaries of their date of grant, and expire on the tenth anniversary of their date of grant.  As of December 31, 2014, options to purchase 0.4 million shares were outstanding under the 2013 CEO Plan at an exercise price of $9.29 per share.

 

Under the 2013 Plan, all options have been and will be granted at exercise prices equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date.  All such options are exercisable in 25% increments on the first through fourth anniversaries of their date of grant, and expire on the tenth anniversary of their date of grant.  As of December 31, 2014, 2013 Plan options to purchase 1.0 million shares were outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $6.39 to $8.85 per share.

 

All options under the 2005 Plan were granted at an exercise prices equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date.  All 2005 Plan options granted prior to 2011 become exercisable in 25% increments on the second through fifth anniversaries of their date of grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of their date of grant. All options granted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 become exercisable in 25% increments on the first through fourth anniversaries of their date of grant, and expire on the tenth anniversary of their date of grant.  As of December 31, 2014, 2005 Plan options to purchase 2.8 million shares were outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $6.04 to $28.85 per share.

 

Under the 1991 Plan, options were granted at exercise prices equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date (1991 Plan market price options) and at exercise prices below the market value of the common stock (1991 Plan performance options).  1991 Plan market price options became exercisable in 25% increments on the second through fifth anniversaries of their date of grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of their date of grant.  As of December 31, 2014, 1991 Plan market price options to purchase 0.3 million shares were outstanding at an exercise price of $25.63 per share.  All remaining 1991 Plan performance options were exercised on or before January 2009.

 

All options granted under each of the four plans vest in full upon a change of control (as defined in each plan).

The aggregate intrinsic value at year end in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been received by the option holders if all of the in-the-money options were exercised on December 31, 2014.  The pre-tax intrinsic value is the difference between the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2014 and the exercise price for each in-the-money option.  This value fluctuates with the changes in the price of our common stock.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model based on the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Expected term is estimated using the simplified method, which takes into account vesting and contractual term.  The simplified method is being used to calculate expected term instead of historical experience due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting from changes in option vesting schedules and changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants.  Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded shares of our stock over the expected term.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instrument with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term.  Expected dividend yield is based on historical stock price movement and anticipated future annual dividends over the expected term.  Future annual dividends over the expected term are estimated to be $0.34 per share.

 

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $2.59, $2.35 and $2.74, respectively.  As of December 31, 2014, there was $3.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.66 years.

 

Unvested Shares

Under the 2013 CEO Plan, unvested shares vest in three equal increments on the first three anniversaries of their date of grant, or if sooner, upon a change of control.

 

Under the 2013 Plan, unvested shares vest in three equal increments on the first three anniversaries of their date of grant, or if sooner, upon a change of control.

 

Under the 2005 Plan, unvested shares granted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 vest in three equal increments on the first three anniversaries of their date of grant, or if sooner, upon a change of control.

The fair value of each unvested share is estimated on the date of grant as the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.  As of December 31, 2014, there was $4.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.95 years.

 

Performance Stock Units

Under the 2013 Plan, 2005 Plan and 2013 CEO Plan performance stock units are a form of share-based award similar to unvested shares, except that the number of shares ultimately issued is based on our performance against specific performance goals over a defined (usually three-year) period.  At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of stock issued will be determined by adjusting upward or downward from the maximum in a range between 0% and 100%.  Upon a change of control, outstanding performance stock units will be paid out at the 100% level.

The fair value of each performance stock unit is estimated on the date of grant as the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, minus the present value of anticipated dividend payments.  Periodic compensation expense is based on the current estimate of future performance against specific performance goals over a three-year period and is adjusted up or down based on those estimates. As of December 31, 2014, there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance stock units.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.15 years.
