Stock-Based Compensation |
NOTE 6 — Stock-Based Compensation
In 1990, the Board of Directors adopted, and the shareholders approved, the NIKE, Inc. 1990 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1990 Plan”). The 1990 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 326 million previously unissued shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with stock options and other awards granted under the 1990 Plan. The 1990 Plan authorizes the grant of non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. The exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. A committee of the Board of Directors administers the 1990 Plan. The committee has the authority to determine the employees to whom awards will be made, the amount of the awards and the other terms and conditions of the awards. Substantially all stock option grants outstanding under the 1990 Plan were granted in the first quarter of each fiscal year, vest ratably over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. In addition to the 1990 Plan, the Company gives employees the right to purchase shares at a discount to the market price under employee stock purchase plans (“ESPPs”). Employees are eligible to participate through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their compensation. At the end of each 6-month offering period, shares are purchased by the participants at 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of the offering period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of options granted under the 1990 Plan and employees’ purchase rights under the ESPPs using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes this fair value as Operating overhead expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The following table summarizes the Company’s total stock-based compensation expense recognized in Operating overhead expense:
|  | Three Months Ended February 28, |  | Nine Months Ended February 28,
(In millions) |  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Stock options(1) |  | $ | 35 |  |  | $ | 32 |  |  | $ | 100 |  |  | $ | 93 |
ESPPs |  | 5 |  |  | 5 |  |  | 17 |  |  | 16 |
Restricted stock |  | 8 |  |  | 6 |  |  | 23 |  |  | 22 |
TOTAL STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE |  | $ | 48 |  |  | $ | 43 |  |  | $ | 140 |  |  | $ | 131 |
(1) | Expense for stock options includes the expense associated with stock appreciation rights. Accelerated stock option expense is recorded for employees eligible for accelerated stock option vesting upon retirement. Accelerated stock option expense for the three month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 was $5 million and $3 million, respectively, and for the nine month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 was $14 million and $11 million, respectively.
As of February 28, 2015, the Company had $216 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Operating overhead expense over a weighted average remaining period of 2.2 years. The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during the nine month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, as computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $16.94 and $14.88, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values are as follows:
|  | Nine Months Ended February 28,
|  | 2015 |  | 2014
Dividend yield |  | 1.2 | % |  | 1.3 | %
Expected volatility |  | 23.6 | % |  | 27.9 | %
Weighted average expected life (in years) |  | 5.8 |  |  | 5.3 |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 1.7 | % |  | 1.3 | %
The Company estimates the expected volatility based on the implied volatility in market traded options on the Company’s common stock with a term greater than one year, along with other factors. The weighted average expected life of options is based on an analysis of historical and expected future exercise patterns. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rate in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.
