Employee and Director Stock Plans | Employee and Director Stock Plans Stock Plans As of January 31, 2016, Autodesk maintained two active stock plans for the purpose of granting equity awards to employees and to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors: the 2012 Employee Stock Plan (as amended, the “2012 Employee Plan”), which is available only to employees, and the Autodesk 2012 Outside Directors’ Stock Plan (“2012 Directors' Plan”), which is available only to non-employee directors. Additionally, there are two expired or terminated plans with options outstanding. The exercise price of all stock options granted under these plans was equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The 2012 Employee Plan was approved by Autodesk's stockholders and became effective on January 6, 2012. On June 10, 2015, Autodesk's stockholders approved amendments to the 2012 Employee Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 12.5 million shares. The 2012 Employee Plan replaced the 2008 Employee Stock Plan, as amended ("2008 Plan"), and no further equity awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan. The 2012 Employee Plan reserves up to 45.1 million shares which includes 39.1 million shares reserved under the 2012 Employee Plan, as well as up to 6.0 million shares forfeited under certain prior employee stock plans during the life of the 2012 Employee Plan. The 2012 Employee Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards. Each restricted stock unit or restricted stock award granted will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Employee Plan as 1.79 shares. If a granted option, restricted stock unit, or restricted stock award expires or becomes unexercisable for any reason, the unpurchased or forfeited shares that were granted may be returned to the 2012 Employee Plan and may become available for future grant under the 2012 Employee Plan. As of January 31, 2016, 29.2 million shares subject to options or restricted stock awards have been granted under the 2012 Employee Plan. Options and restricted stock that were granted under the 2012 plan vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to over a three year period and options expire 10 years from the date of grant. The 2012 Employee Plan will expire on June 30, 2022. At January 31, 2016, 18.6 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Employee Plan. The 2012 Director's Plan was approved by Autodesk's stockholders and became effective on January 6, 2012. The 2012 Directors' Plan replaced the 2010 Outside Directors' Stock Plan, as amended ("2010 Plan"). The 2012 Directors' Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors. Each restricted stock unit or restricted stock award granted will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan as 2.11 shares. As of January 31, 2016, 0.7 million shares subject to restricted stock unit awards have been granted under the 2012 Directors' Plan. Restricted stock units that were granted under the 2012 Outside Directors' Plan vest over one to three years from the date of grant. On March 12, 2015, the Board reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan by 0.9 million shares, so that 1.7 million shares are now reserved for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan. The 2012 Directors' Plan will expire on June 30, 2022. At January 31, 2016, 1.0 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Director's Plan.

_______________
(1) | Based on Autodesk's financial results for the performance period, the fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 performance stock units were earned at 113.8%, 65.8%, and 92.3% of the target award, respectively. The vesting of the 2013 performance stock units was subject to the holders satisfying the remaining service condition of the awards, which ended in March 2015.
For the restricted stock units granted during fiscal years ended January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the weighted average grant date fair value was $52.53, $54.17, and $42.37, respectively. The fair value of the shares vested during fiscal years ended January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $193.3 million, $147.8 million, and $87.0 million, respectively. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, Autodesk granted 3.6 million restricted stock units. The restricted stock units vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a pre-determined date that is typically within three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. The fair value of the restricted stock units is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $146.4 million, $118.9 million, and $74.9 million during fiscal years ended January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. As of January 31, 2016, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $248.2 million related to non-vested awards, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. At January 31, 2016, the number of restricted stock units granted but unvested was 6.9 million. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, Autodesk granted 0.4 million performance stock units ("PSUs") for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated performance period. The performance criteria are based upon billings and subscriptions goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee (the “Annual Financial Results”), as well as total stockholder return compared against the S&P Computer Software Select Index (“Relative TSR”). Each PSU covers a three year period:
• | Up to one third of the PSU may vest following year one depending upon the achievement of Annual Financial Results for year one as well as 1 year Relative TSR (covering year one).
• | Up to one third of the PSU may vest following year two depending upon the achievement of Annual Financial Results for year two as well as 2 year Relative TSR (covering years one and two).
• | Up to one third of the PSU may vest following year three depending upon the achievement of Annual Financial Results for year three as well as 3 year Relative TSR (covering years one, two, and three).
PSUs are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. Autodesk has determined the grant-date fair value for these awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model since the awards are subject to a market condition. The fair value of the performance restricted stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs of $23.2 million, $17.5 million, and $8.7 million during fiscal years ended January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 respectively. As of January 31, 2016, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $3.6 million related to non-vested PSUs, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years. At January 31, 2016, the number of PSUs granted but unvested was 0.8 million. 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESP Plan”) Under Autodesk’s ESP Plan, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation subject to certain limitations, at not less than 85% of fair market value as defined in the ESP Plan. At January 31, 2016, a total of 43.3 million shares were available for future issuance. This amount automatically increases on the first trading day of each fiscal year by an amount equal to the lesser of 10.0 million shares or 2% of the total of (1) outstanding shares plus (2) any shares repurchased by Autodesk during the prior fiscal year. Under the ESP Plan, the Company issues shares on the first trading day following March 31 and September 30 of each fiscal year. The ESP Plan expires during fiscal 2018. Autodesk issued 2.1 million shares under the ESP Plan at an average price of $36.29 per share in fiscal 2016, 2.1 million shares at an average price of $33.91 per share in fiscal 2015, and 2.9 million shares at an average price of $22.61 per share in fiscal 2014. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESP Plan during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, calculated as of the award grant date using the BSM option pricing model, was $11.85, $15.14, and $11.80 per share, respectively. Autodesk recorded $27.1 million, $23.9 million, and $22.9 million of compensation expense associated with the ESP Plan in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
