Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $1.4 million in the third quarter 2013 and $1.5 million in the third quarter 2012. For the first nine months of the year, stock-based compensation expense was $4.1 million in 2013 and $4.3 million in 2012.
The Company granted approximately 147,000 stock appreciation rights (SARs) to certain employees in the first quarter 2013 at a strike price of $28.32 per share. The fair value of the SARs, which was determined on the grant date using a Black-Scholes model, was $12.54 per share and will be amortized over the vesting period of three years. The SARs expire in seven years from the date of the grant.
The Company granted approximately 42,000 shares of restricted stock units to certain employees in the first quarter 2013 at a weighted-average fair value of $28.32 per share. The fair value was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and will be amortized over the vesting period of three years. The holders of the restricted stock units will forfeit their shares if their employment is terminated prior to the end of the vesting period.
The Company granted approximately 42,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees in the first quarter 2013 at a fair value of $23.90 per share. The fair value will be expensed over the vesting period of three years. The final share payout to the employees will be based upon the Company’s total return to shareholders over the vesting period relative to a peer group’s performance over the same period.
The Company received $1.1 million for the exercise of approximately 69,000 options during the first nine months of 2013 and $0.1 million for the exercise of approximately 14,000 options during the first nine months of 2012. Exercises of SARs totaled approximately 120,000 in the first nine months of 2013 and 27,000 in the first nine months of 2012.
