Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We compensate officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under three stock plans approved by our shareholders in 1997, 2004 and 2010 and administered under the supervision of our Board of Directors (“Board”). At December 29, 2012, a total of 1,130,000 shares were available for future grant under the 2010 stock plan.

Total stock-based compensation expense for 2012, 2011 and 2010, was as follows (in thousands):



	2012		2011		2010
Stock options	$	3,688	$	2,721	$	2,491

Stock Options

Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our stock on the grant-date. Generally, options vest proportionally over periods of two to four years from the grant-date and expire after ten years. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

Determining Fair Value

We estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and a single option award approach. Forfeitures are estimated using historical experience and projected employee turnover. A description of significant assumptions used to estimate the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected terms is as follows:

Expected Volatility – Expected volatility was determined based on implied volatility of our traded options and historical volatility of our stock price.

Risk-Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues at the date of grant with a term equal to the expected term.

Expected Term – Expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and anticipated future exercise patterns, giving consideration to the contractual terms of unexercised stock-based awards.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of awards granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model were as follows:



Valuation Assumptions	2012		2011		2010
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%
Expected volatility	63	%	78	%	78	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.1	%	1.9	%	2.0	%
Expected term (in years)	5.6		5.0		4.9

Stock Awards

We issue stock awards to certain employees in conjunction with our stock-based compensation plan. The stock awards generally cliff-vest from two to four years based on continued employment (“time based”). Compensation expense related to stock awards is determined on the grant-date based on the publicly quoted fair market value of our common stock and is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Performance stock awards are time based, however, the final number of shares earned and the related compensation expense is adjusted up or down to the extent the performance target is met as of the last day of the performance period. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 0% to 150% of the targeted amount. For performance stock awards granted in 2012, the performance target is actual market share growth and the performance period is from January 2012 through December 2014. For performance stock awards granted in 2011, the performance targets are actual market share growth and free cash flow, and the performance period is from January 2011 through December 2013. For performance stock awards granted in 2010, the performance targets were net sales and net operating profit and the performance period was from January 2010 through December 2010. The actual number of shares that ultimately vested for the 2010 performance stock awards was 150% of the targeted amount. We evaluate the likelihood of meeting the performance targets at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense, on a cumulative basis, based on the expected achievement of each of the performance targets.

Stock award and performance stock award activity was as follows for the year ended December 29, 2012 (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Time- Based Stock Awards		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Performance Stock Awards		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Outstanding at December 29, 2012	255		$	13.62	554		$	11.47

CEO Transition Costs

In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s unvested stock awards, including performance stock awards. The performance stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments (through 2014) based on free cash flow and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During 2012, we incurred $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications.

Dividends

We are not restricted from paying cash dividends under our credit agreement other than customary legal and contractual restrictions. However, we have not historically paid, and have no current plans to pay, cash dividends on our common stock.

Net Income per Common Share

The following computations reconcile net income per share – basic with net income per share – diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	2012		2011		2010
Net income	$	78,094	$	60,478	$	31,568
