Stock Options

On March 6, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and granted stock options to executive officers, other officers and employees of the Company. The stock option grants were made to approximately 500 recipients, who collectively may purchase approximately 3.8 million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $23.86 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. These options generally vest over a five-year period.

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

In November 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved and granted awards of 350,000 performance based units (Performance Units) to the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that will vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2016. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company's relative position as compared to its peers at the end of the three-year period in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are based on total shareholder return, return on investment, SG&A expense containment and gross profit. The earned awards will have a value equal to the number of earned units multiplied by the closing price of the Company's common stock at the end of the performance period and may be paid in cash, equity or a combination of both. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce the final payout on the Performance Units from the amount earned. The Performance Units have no dividend or voting rights during the performance period. These awards are accounted for as liability awards and compensation expense for these awards is recognized over the vesting period. The liability for these awards of $3.2 million at June 30, 2014 was based on the Company's performance against the peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the Company's stock price at June 30, 2014. Compensation expense related to this grant was $1.3 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
