11. Share-Based Compensation

Capital Stock

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without nominal or par value. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, and to share ratably in its assets legally available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of liquidation. Holders of common shares have no redemption or conversion rights.

2010 Incentive Award Plan

In November 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”), under which the Company may grant share-based compensation awards to employees, consultants and directors. In May 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the amended and restated 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan”). The maximum number of shares which can be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan is 4,398,613, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, deferred stock units, dividends equivalents, performance awards and stock payments (collectively referred to as “Awards”). The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan allows the Company to continue to grant awards intended to constitute “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and includes certain provisions that reflect good corporate governance practices. The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan provides for specific limits on the number of shares with respect to Awards that may be granted to any person during any calendar year and the amount of cash that can be paid with respect to Awards to any one person during any calendar year. The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan will expire and no further Awards may be granted after April 9, 2024. As of December 31, 2015, there were 1,986,154 shares available for future awards under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan.

Restricted stock units represent the right to receive common shares or the fair market value of such shares in cash as determined by the administrator of the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan at a specified date in the future, subject to forfeiture of such right. The purchase price for restricted stock units, if any, will be determined by the administrator of the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan on an award-by-award basis. Deferred stock units entitle the recipient thereof to receive one share of common stock on the date such deferred stock unit becomes vested and other conditions are removed or expire, if applicable, or upon a specified settlement date thereafter. Deferred stock units are typically awarded without payment of consideration.

Shares subject to Awards that have expired, forfeited or settled in cash, or repurchased by the Company at the same price paid by the awardee may be added back to the number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan and may be granted as new Awards. Shares that are used to pay the exercise price for an option, shares withheld to pay taxes, shares subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the stock appreciation right on exercise thereof, and shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options will not be added back to the number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. Shares issued to satisfy Awards under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan may be previously authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares repurchased on the open market.

The table below summarizes activities relating to restricted and deferred stock units issued and outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during the year ended December 31, 2015:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the fair value of $13.62 per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2015 due to the fact that the restricted stock units carry a $0 purchase price.

The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested in 2015, based on the market price of the underlying stock on the day of vesting, was $5.1 million.

Other Issuances

In March 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units in an aggregate of 180,000 shares as employment inducement awards related to an acquisition. These restricted stock units are performance-based awards and would vest after two years if certain financial targets and service conditions have been achieved. In 2015, these financial targets were no longer deemed probable and the cumulative expense recognized in the prior year was reversed. The share-based compensation expense and related adjustments for these awards are recorded in restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related costs in the consolidated statement of operations.

The expense recorded during each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 included $0.5 million, related to deferred stock units granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. The expense associated with the respective deferred stock units was recognized in full on the respective date of grant, as the deferred stock units were fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant.

 

The Company’s restricted stock unit awards have generally been issued with a three-year vesting period and vest based solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company generally recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on anticipated forfeitures and actual experience.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s outstanding equity awards for which compensation expense will be recognized in the future consist of time-based restricted stock units granted under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. The Company expects to record aggregate share-based compensation expense of $4.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures, subsequent to December 31, 2015, over a weighted average period of 1.9 years, for all outstanding equity awards.
