Liberty Incentive Plan

 

Liberty Interactive has granted to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of Liberty Interactive and certain of its subsidiaries stock options to purchase shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and restricted stock awards of Liberty Ventures common stock pursuant to applicable incentive plans in place at Liberty. Each holder of an outstanding option to purchase shares of Liberty Ventures common stock on the date of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off (an "original Ventures option award") will receive an option to purchase shares of the corresponding series of Company common stock (a "new Company option award") and an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares subject to the original Ventures option award (as so adjusted, an "adjusted Ventures option award"). The exercise prices of and number of shares subject to the new Company option award and the related adjusted Ventures option award will be determined based on the exercise price and number of shares subject to the original Ventures option award, the redemption ratios being used in the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, the pre-Expedia Holdings Split-Off trading price of Liberty Ventures common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of the applicable series of Liberty Ventures common stock over the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Expedia Holdings Split-Off) and the relative post-Expedia Holdings Split-Off trading prices of Liberty Ventures common stock and Company common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of the applicable series of common stock over the three consecutive trading days beginning on the first trading day following the Expedia Holdings Split-Off on which both the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Company common stock trade in the "regular way" (meaning once the common stock trades using a standard settlement cycle)), such that the pre-Expedia Holdings Split-Off value of the original Ventures option award is allocated between the new Company option award and the adjusted Ventures option award.

 

Except as described above, all other terms of an adjusted Ventures option award and a new Company option award (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Ventures option award. The terms of the adjusted Ventures option award will be determined and the new Company option award will be granted as soon as practicable following the determination of the pre- and post-Expedia Holdings Split-Off trading prices of Liberty Ventures and Company common stock, as applicable. The compensation expense relating to employees of Liberty Interactive will continue to be recorded at Liberty Interactive. Liberty Interactive had outstanding approximately 3.5 million Liberty Ventures Series A and 1.7 million Liberty Ventures Series B options at September 30, 2016 with a weighted average exercise price of $21.93 and $34.75 per share, respectively. Approximately 2.7 million and 112 thousand of those options, respectively, were exercisable at September 30, 2016 with a weighted average exercise price of $17.76 and $38.63 per share, respectively.

 

Bodybuilding Stock Appreciation Rights Plans

 

There were approximately 660 thousand stock appreciation rights ("SARs") granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 under the Bodybuilding 2011 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan. The weighted average grant date fair value of the SARs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $13.15 per share. As of September 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to 854 thousand unvested Bodybuilding SARs was approximately $8.6 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years. Accrued stock compensation was $3.6 million at September 30, 2016.  

 

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed combined statements of operations is stock-based compensation expense of $770 thousand and $597 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and a benefit from stock-based compensation of $314 thousand and stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which relates to Bodybuilding. The benefit recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to a change in the per unit valuation of outstanding stock appreciation rights.
