Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity Stock-Based Compensation The Company's active equity compensation plan, the 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 2014 Plan), is the successor plan to the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan) which was merged with and into the 2014 Plan in May 2014. Outstanding grants under the 2007 Plan will continue according to the terms in effect before the plan merger, but the outstanding shares will be issued or transferred under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. Permitted grantees under the 2014 Plan include employees, non-employee directors and consultants who perform services for the Company. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company has only non-qualified stock options outstanding under the 2014 Plan. All outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions that tie the vesting of stock options to the Company’s financial performance which are established at the time of grant. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when a specified financial vesting target is achieved, and the remaining 50 percent when a second, higher-specified financial vesting target is achieved. Options do not vest due to the passage of time but as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Options granted in December 2017 and thereafter include a service condition which requires a minimum two or four year waiting period from the grant date along with the attainment of the applicable financial vesting target. The targets are measured annually on December 31. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the period is based upon management’s estimate of when the financial vesting targets may be achieved. Any change in management’s estimate could result in the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect the Company’s earnings. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the price of the Company’s common stock as well as other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company primarily uses historical data to estimate the variables used in the option-pricing model except expected volatility. The Company uses a combination of historical and implied volatility. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The weighted average fair value of the Company’s stock options granted during 2019, 2018 and 2017 were $13.94, $13.04 and $16.78, respectively, using the following assumptions:
|  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Expected term (in years) |  | 5.53 |  |  | 6.34 |  |  | 6.00 |
Expected volatility |  | 23.36 | % |  | 25.27 | % |  | 22.58 | %
Expected dividend yield |  | 1.10 | % |  | 1.35 | % |  | 0.82 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  | 1.80 | % |  | 2.75 | % |  | 2.29 | %
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Financial Statements in 2019, 2018 and 2017 as follows:
|  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 24,582 |  |  | $ | 23,805 |  |  | $ | 36,366 |
Less: Deferred tax benefit |  | (4,814 | ) |  | (5,078 | ) |  | (7,891 | )
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax |  | $ | 19,768 |  |  | $ | 18,727 |  |  | $ | 28,475 |
The Company revised its estimates of when some vesting targets are expected to be achieved. These changes in management’s estimates resulted in an increase of $2,903, $1,909 and $11,206 in stock-based compensation expense during 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there was approximately 7,492,000 unvested employee stock options with an unrecognized compensation cost of $73,337 that the Company expects will vest and be expensed through 2024 with a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The Company immediately retires its common stock when purchased. Upon retirement, the Company reduces Capital in excess of par value for the average capital per share outstanding and the remainder is charged against Retained earnings. If the Company reduces its Retained earnings to zero, any subsequent purchases of common stock will be charged entirely to Capital in excess of par value. Rights Agreement The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution pursuant to a Rights Agreement (the Rights Agreement) which became effective on January 6, 2009. The Rights Agreement was not renewed and expired on January 6, 2019. The purpose of the Rights Agreement was to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to prevent a person or group from acquiring control of the Company without offering a fair price to all shareholders. Under the Rights Agreement, all common shareholders would have received one Right for each common share outstanding. Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one twenty-thousandths of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares, $0.05 par value per share, or a combination of securities and assets of equivalent value, at a purchase price of $150.00 per unit, subject to adjustment.
