Stock-Based Compensation

Note 5 — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains equity incentive plans under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

The Company granted 200,000 stock options and 104,000 restricted stock units during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended August 3, 2013. This compares to 175,000 stock options and 94,000 restricted stock units granted in the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 28, 2012. Total stock-based compensation expense (a component of compensation and benefits) was $729,000 for the 13-week period ended August 3, 2013, and $1.4 million for the 26-week period ended August 3, 2013, compared to $663,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of each grant. There have been no material changes in the assumptions used to compute compensation expense during the current quarter.
