Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Compensation Plans On December 11, 2018, our shareholders approved the Winnebago Industries, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") as detailed in the Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2019 Plan allows the Company to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards, and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors. The 2019 Plan replaces the 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "2014 Plan"). The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that may be the subject of awards and issued under the 2019 Plan is 4.1 million, plus the shares subject to any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan and the predecessor plan, the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), on December 11, 2018 that subsequently expire, are forfeited or canceled, or are settled for cash. Until such time, however, awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2004 Plan, respectively, that were outstanding on December 11, 2018 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan or 2004 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the 2019 Plan. The Company's outstanding options have a 10-year term. Options issued to employees generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments on the annual anniversary dates following the grant date. Share awards generally vest based either upon continued employment ("time-based") or upon attainment of specified goals. Outstanding share awards that are not time-based vest at the end of a three-year incentive period based upon the achievement of company performance goals ("performance-based"). Generally, time-based share awards vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments on the annual anniversary dates following the grant date. Time-based share awards to directors vest one year from the grant date. Beginning with the Company's annual grant of restricted stock units in October 2018, dividend equivalents are attached to restricted stock units equal to dividends payable on the same number of shares of the Company's common stock during the applicable period. Dividend equivalents, settled in cash, accrue on restricted stock unit awards during the vesting period. No dividend equivalents are paid on any restricted stock units that are forfeited prior to the vesting date. The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") permits employees to purchase Winnebago Industries common stock at a 15% discount from the market price at the end of semi-annual purchase periods and is compensatory. Employees are required to hold the common stock purchased for one-year. In Fiscal 2020 and 2019, 21,094 shares and 30,956 shares, respectively, were purchased through the ESPP. Plan participants had accumulated $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, to purchase the Company's common stock pursuant to this plan. Compensation expense associated with share-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the required service period and forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Total stock-based compensation expense for the past three fiscal years consisted of the following components:
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Share awards: |  |  |  |  |
Time-based | $ | 4,287 |  |  | $ | 4,986 |  |  | $ | 4,152 |

(1) Includes stock-based compensation expense related to Board of Directors stock award expense and ESPP expense. Directors may elect to defer all or part of their annual retainer into a deferred compensation plan. The plan allows them to defer into either money units or stock units. Share Awards - Time-Based The fair value of time-based share awards is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. A summary of the status of nonvested time-based share awards at August 29, 2020, and changes during Fiscal 2020, is as follows:

Expected dividend yield | 0.9 | % |  | 1.3 | % |  | 0.9 | %
Risk-free interest rate(2) | 1.7 | % |  | 3.0 | % |  | 2.0 | %

Expected stock price volatility(4) | 41.2 | % |  | 39.1 | % |  | 38.1 | %
Weighted average fair value of options granted | $ | 17.18 |  |  | $ | 11.09 |  |  | $ | 14.78 |
(1) Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. (2) Based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.
