Stock-Based Incentive Plans

Stock-Based Incentive Plans

The Company currently has one stock-based incentive plan, which incorporates and supersedes its two previous plans (see Note 1 “Basis of Presentation — Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”). Participants are granted stock-based awards only if the applicable Company-wide or profit-center operating goals, or both, established by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of the year, are met. Certain participants may have additional goals based on strategic initiatives of the Company.

The fair value of each restricted stock unit award is estimated on the date of the award based on the closing market price of the underlying stock on the day preceding the date of the award. On February 3, 2014, 342,950 restricted stock units were awarded, including 9,975 awarded to the Company’s directors who are not employees, at an estimated value of $30.98 per share, based on the closing price on January 31, 2014. The restrictions on these awards generally lapse one quarter on the date of the award and one quarter on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014: 

	Shares		Weighted- Average Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value *
Unvested Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)	(in thousands)				(in thousands)
Outstanding at January 1, 2014	448		$	32.45
Awarded	343
Vested	(282	)
Forfeited	(1	)
Outstanding at September 30, 2014	508		$	31.67	$	14,817
Outstanding and expected to vest at September 30, 2014	497		$	31.68	$	14,473

* The intrinsic value is calculated using the closing price per share of $29.15 as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2014.

Based on the market value on the award date, the total intrinsic value of vested restricted stock units during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was $9.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

No stock options were granted in 2013 or the first nine months of 2014. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014: 

	Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value *

Outstanding at January 1, 2014	1,021		$	29.35

Exercisable at September 30, 2014	710		$	29.33	3.2	$	212

* The intrinsic value represents the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option, using the closing price per share of $29.15 as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2014.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

A summary of the status of unvested stock options as of September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, are presented below:

The portions of this cost related to stock options and restricted stock units awarded through February 2014 are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
