Share-based Payment Arrangements

As of March 30, 2013, the Company had two employee equity incentive plans, the 2002 employee stock option and stock incentive plan (the “ESOSIP”) and the 2011 equity incentive plan (the “2011 EIP”). The Company also has a stock compensation plan for members of its Board of Directors (the “Directors Stock Compensation Plan”). The ESOSIP, 2011 EIP and Directors Stock Compensation Plan are each referred to herein as a “Plan,” and, collectively, as the “Plans.” No further grants can be made under the ESOSIP. Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to these Plans are as follows (in thousands):


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
Total cost of the Plans during the period	$	1,618	$	1,525
Amount of related income tax benefit recognized during the period		697		953

Net cost of the Plans during the period	$	921	$	572

Included in income tax benefits recognized in the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 were income tax benefits of $378,000 and $628,000, respectively, recognized on disqualifying dispositions of the Company’s common stock by employees who obtained shares of common stock through exercises of incentive stock options.

As of March 30, 2013, there were 113,704 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan and 6,753,283 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance in the aggregate under the ESOSIP and 2011 EIP.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant on its grant date was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants made in the 2013 and 2012 thirteen-week periods:


	2013			2012
Expected volatility		32.0	%		34.0	%
Expected dividend yield		0.410	%		0.420	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.75	%		0.90	%
Expected lives (in years)		4.0			4.0

The Company utilizes historical data, including exercise patterns and employee departure behavior, in estimating the term that options will be outstanding. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes to the Company’s business, if any. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds for terms that approximated the terms of the options granted. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was $14.17 per share and $13.97 per share, respectively.

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding stock options under the Plans:


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000s)
Options outstanding at December 29, 2012		1,781,182		$	42.56
Granted		152,500		$	56.40
Exercised		(357,720	)	$	40.89
Forfeited		(32,600	)	$	38.66

Options outstanding at March 30, 2013		1,543,362		$	44.40		6.5	$	19,585

Options exercisable at March 30, 2013		757,462		$	41.96		4.8	$	11,460

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was $5,021,000 and $11,933,000, respectively.

As of March 30, 2013, there was $7,669,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans. The unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Non-vested Restricted Stock

The fair value of each share of non-vested restricted stock issued under the Plans is based on the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding non-vested restricted stock under the Plans:


	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 29, 2012		34,719		$	42.75
Granted		1,104		$	53.26
Vested		(4,657	)	$	40.24

Outstanding at March 30, 2013		31,166		$	43.49

As of March 30, 2013, there was $686,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares of restricted stock granted under the Plans. The unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested shares of restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) is determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, discounted for lack of marketability for a minimum post-vesting holding requirement. The discount rate due to lack of marketability used for RSU award grants during both thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was 7%.

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding RSU awards under the Plans:


	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 29, 2012		113,000		$	44.78
Granted		244,500		$	51.19
Vested		(21,901	)	$	44.78
Forfeited		(6,046	)	$	44.78

Outstanding at March 30, 2013		329,553		$	49.54

The Company reports compensation expense over the life of the award based on an estimated number of shares that will vest over the life of the award, multiplied by the fair value of an RSU. RSU awards typically have contractual lives of five years from the date of grant. For RSUs with five-year contractual lives, the number of RSUs that vest is determined annually, for each year in the five-year period from date of grant, by multiplying the number of RSUs granted by the sum of (a) the average of the percentage change (positive or negative) in operating income and diluted earnings per share in each of the 5 years as compared to operating income and diluted earnings per share reported in the base year (base year being the year immediately preceding the year in which the RSUs were granted), plus (b) 5%, rounded to the nearest whole number, less (c) the number of RSUs from that grant that have previously vested. On January 23, 2013, the Company granted 100,000 RSUs to the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. These 100,000 RSUs have three-year contractual lives and will vest on January 31 of 2014, 2015, and 2016, with the number of RSUs that vest on each vesting date determined by multiplying 100,000 by the sum of (1) the percentage increase in operating income in the most recently completed fiscal year as compared to the results from the immediately preceding fiscal year, plus (2) the percentage increase in diluted earnings per share in the most recently completed fiscal year as compared to the results from the preceding fiscal year. The Company recognized approximately $525,000 and $200,000 of share-based compensation expense related to RSU awards in the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. As of March 30, 2013, there was a maximum of $15.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Plans with an expected average remaining life of approximately 3.9 years. The amount of future compensation expense to be recognized will be determined based on actual future operating results.
