21.  Share-Based Compensation

Stock Awards

Under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”), stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (SARs), or other stock-based awards may be granted to officers and other employees of the Company, including its subsidiaries and operating divisions worldwide. Nonemployee directors are also eligible to receive awards under this plan. Options for employees become exercisable in substantially equal annual installments over a three-year period, beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant of the option, unless a shorter or longer duration is established at the time of the option grant. Options for nonemployee directors become exercisable one year from the date of grant. On May 19, 2010, the 2007 Stock Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares of stock reserved for all awards to 12,000,000. The options terminate up to ten years from the date of grant.

Employees Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s 2003 Employees Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), participating employees are able to contribute up to 10 percent of their annual compensation, not to exceed $25,000 in any plan year, through payroll deductions to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at 85 percent of the lower market price on one of two specified dates in each plan year. Under the ESPP, 3,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for purchase beginning June 2005. Of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for purchase under this plan, 943 participating employees purchased 218,362 shares in 2012, and 919 participating employees purchased 336,116 shares in 2011. To date, a total of 1,496,407 shares have been purchased under this plan.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans was $20 million, $18 million, and $13 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. The associated tax benefits recognized for 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $6 million, $6 million, and $4 million, respectively. Tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for share-based compensation arrangements were $11 million, $5 million, and $3 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, and are classified as financing activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Valuation Model and Assumptions

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.

The Company estimates the expected term of share-based awards granted using the Company’s historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination patterns, which it believes are representative of future behavior. The expected term for the employee stock purchase plan valuation is based on the length of each purchase period as measured at the beginning of the offering period, which is one year.

The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock at the grant date using a weighted-average of the Company’s historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options on the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that the combination of historical volatility and implied volatility provides a better estimate of future stock price volatility.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The expected dividend yield is derived from the Company’s historical experience.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on its historical pre-vesting forfeiture data. The Company estimates pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The following table shows the Company’s assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense:

Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options and employee stock purchase plan was $10 million, $8 million, and $5 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. As of February 2, 2013, there was $5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 1 year.

Restricted Stock and Units

Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and restricted stock units have been awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. Awards made to executives outside of the United States and to nonemployee directors are made in the form of restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock provided that the vesting conditions are satisfied. In 2012, 2011, and 2010, there were 1,254,876, 1,098,177, and 653,535 restricted stock units outstanding, respectively.

Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, restricted stock unit grants made in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive program vest after the attainment of certain performance metrics and the passage of time. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights. Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vest with the passage of time; for performance-based restricted stock, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met. No dividends are paid on restricted stock units.

Compensation expense is recognized using the fair market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares, net of estimated forfeitures, of $10 million, $10 million, and $8 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. At February 2, 2013, there was $10 million of total unrecognized compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock awards.

Restricted share and unit activity is summarized as follows:

     
  Number of Shares and Units
     2012   2011   2010
     (in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of year     2,068       1,759       1,680

Aggregate value (in millions)   $ 30     $ 30     $ 20  
Weighted-average remaining contractual life     0.84 years       1.19 years       1.44 years  

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share was $30.89, $20.18, and $13.75 for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. The total fair value of awards for which restrictions lapsed was $8 million, $4 million, and $10 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010 respectively.
