Stockholders' Equity |
Stockholders' Equity | J. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In fiscal 2010, the Company purchased 3,980,000 shares of its common stock at $29.00 per share and held them as treasury stock at a total cost of $115,420. The shares were repurchased by the Company from the Estate of Wade F. B. Thompson (the "Estate") in a private transaction. The late Wade F. B. Thompson was the Company's former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The repurchase transaction was evaluated and approved by members of the Company's Board of Directors who are not affiliated with the Estate. At the time of the repurchase, the shares represented 7.2% of the Company's common stock outstanding. The Company used available cash to purchase the shares. The Board approved the Thor Industries, Inc. 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2010 Equity and Incentive Plan") on October 25, 2010 and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Equity Incentive Plan") on October 16, 2006. These plans were subsequently approved by shareholders at the 2010 and 2006 annual meetings. These plans are designed, among other things, to replace the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan") and the Company's 1997 Restricted Stock Plan (the "1997 Plan"). Upon approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the 1999 Plan and the 1997 Plan were frozen. As a result, there will be no further grants pursuant to either the 1999 Plan or the 1997 Plan. However, outstanding grants under both plans remain outstanding, subject to the respective terms and conditions of the plans. The maximum number of shares issuable under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan is 2,000,000 and under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is 1,100,000. Awards may be in the form of options (incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards and stock appreciation rights. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant and are vested evenly over 3 to 5 years from the date of grant. Stock Options – A summary of option activity under the 1999 Plan, the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

The weighted average remaining contractual life for outstanding options and exercisable options at July 31, 2011, was 7.53 and 5.62 years, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of July 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |
Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and expected to vest |  | $ | 647 |  |  | $ | 2,350 |  |  | $ | 1,509 |
Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable |  | $ | 647 |  |  | $ | 2,263 |  |  | $ | 1,509 |
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions utilized in the model are evaluated when awards are granted. Forfeiture assumptions are revised as necessary to reflect experience. The fair value of the stock options is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the grant, reduced by the present value of estimated future dividends and risk-free interest rates. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury security rate estimated for the expected life of the options at the date of grant. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The expected term of the options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated using the Company's historical exercise and termination behavior. The weighted average fair value of options granted in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 were $10.80 and $14.69, respectively, as calculated by the Black-Scholes method. There were no option grants during fiscal 2009. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the options granted during fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 are as follows:
Grant Date |  | July 19, 2011 |  |  | March 14, 2011 |  |  | July 20, 2010 |  |  | April 28, 2010 |
Expected volatility |  |  | 46% |  |  |  | 46% |  |  |  | 45% |  |  |  | 45% |
Expected life of grant |  |  | 6 years |  |  |  | 6 years |  |  |  | 6 years |  |  |  | 6 years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.8% |  |  |  | 2.3% |  |  |  | 2.2% |  |  |  | 3.1% |
Expected dividend rate |  |  | 1.8% |  |  |  | 1.2% |  |  |  | 0.9% |  |  |  | 0.9% |

Stock Awards – The Company's 1997 Restricted Stock Plan allowed for the granting of up to 600,000 shares of restricted stock to select executives.
