NOTE 5.  STOCK BASED-COMPENSATION

Exercises

 

For the three months ended October 3, 2020, there were no option exercises. For the nine months ended October 3, 2020, there were 274,353 options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Issuance

On February 14, 2020, we granted 305,030 restricted stock awards to certain executives and non-executive employees of the Company under the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The restrictions on these stock awards lapse over time based solely on continued service with respect to one-half of the granted shares and based on the achievement of a performance metric and the lapse of time, with respect to the other half. Specifically, the quantity of restricted shares issued upon vesting on half of these shares, or 152,515 shares, is fixed, whereas the quantity issued upon vesting on the remaining half, or 152,515 shares, is subject to Company-specific performance criteria. The restricted stock awards have a fair value on date of grant of $16.56 per share based on the closing New York Stock Exchange market price of the common stock on the day prior to the day the awards were granted. Those restricted shares whose quantity is fixed vest in equal amounts over a three-year period on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the grant. Those restricted shares whose quantity is subject to Company performance criteria vest in equal amounts on the second and third anniversary dates of the grant, if they are earned.

With respect to the one-half of the granted restricted shares that must be earned through the satisfaction of performance criteria, the performance criteria, as defined in the share awards, provides for a graded awarding of shares based on the percentage by which the Company meets earnings before interest and taxes, as defined, in our 2020 business plan. The performance percentages, ranging from less than 80% to greater than 120%, provide for the awarding of shares ranging from no shares to 150% of the target number of shares.


None of the restricted stock awards granted under last year’s 2019 LTIP that must be earned through the achievement of the performance criteria were earned, because the Company did not achieve at least 80% of the target level of our 2019 LTIP performance metric, resulting in 0% of the target number of performance shares being earned.

On May 21, 2020, we granted a total of 42,360 restricted stock awards to the eight non-management members of the board of directors of the Company relating to their annual compensation for service on the board. The restricted stock awards have a fair value on date of grant of $13.41 per share based on the closing New York Stock Exchange market price of the common stock on the day prior to the day the awards were granted. The restrictions on these stock awards lapse based solely on continued service on the first anniversary date of the grant.

Stock Compensation Expense

We record stock compensation expense over an equity award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense for stock-based awards of $1.5 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2019. We recorded compensation expense for stock-based awards of $4.4 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2019. As of October 3, 2020, there was $7.8 million in total unrecognized compensation cost related entirely to restricted share awards. These costs are expected to be recognized in earnings on an accelerated basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years at October 3, 2020.

 

Of the $1.5 million and $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, are classified within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainders classified within cost of sales. Of the $4.4 million and $3.2 million in stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively, $3.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, are classified within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainders classified within cost of sales.
