5.             Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Compensation Plans

 

We recognize the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the award vests.  For the three and nine months ended July 3, 2011, stock-based compensation expense was $2.5 million and $7.8 million, compared to $2.3 million and $7.7 million for the same periods last year, respectively. The majority of these amounts was included in “Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses” in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

No stock options were granted in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  For the nine months ended July 3, 2011, we granted 1,060,849 stock options with exercise prices of $22.81 – $23.48 per share and an estimated weighted-average fair value of $9.11 per share.  In addition, we awarded 84,606 shares of restricted stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to our directors and executive officers at the fair value of $23.48 per share on the award date.  All of these shares are performance-based and vest over a three-year period.  The number of shares that ultimately vest is based on the growth in our diluted earnings per share.
