Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation
Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation
As of October 1, 2021, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two Harris Corporation shareholder-approved stock incentive plans (“SIPs”), the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010) and the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of August 28, 2020) (the “2015 EIP”), as well as under employee stock incentive plans of L3 Technologies, Inc. assumed by L3Harris (collectively, “L3Harris SIPs”). We believe that share-based awards more closely align the interests of participants with those of shareholders.
The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $33 million and $100 million for the quarter and three quarters ended October 1, 2021, respectively, and $31 million and $71 million for the quarter and three quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock issued under L3Harris SIPs, net of shares withheld for tax purposes, was 0.7 million and 1.2 million for the quarter and three quarters ended October 1, 2021, respectively, was not material for the quarter ended October 2, 2020 and was 0.5 million for the three quarters ended October 2, 2020.
Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the quarter ended October 1, 2021 were not material. Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the three quarters ended October 1, 2021 consisted of 0.5 million stock options, 0.2 million performance stock units and 0.3 million restricted stock units. The fair value as of the grant date of each stock option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 1.99 percent; expected volatility of 31.71 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 0.75 percent; and expected term of 5.05 years. The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted stock unit award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value as of the grant date of each performance stock unit award was
determined based on the fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in our TSR peer group.
