Stock-based Compensation

On October 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 LTIP”). No additional awards will be granted under the 2008 LTIP; however, prior awards outstanding under the 2008 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions. The 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain increases in the event outstanding awards under the 2008 LTIP expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised.

Stock options

During the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase 150 and 97 shares of common stock, respectively, to certain key employees. The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have ten-year contractual terms. For the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the weighted average exercise price of the options was $27.38 and $22.31 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $17.31 and $14.66 per share, respectively.

For options granted, the valuation models used the following assumptions:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Expected term (years)		7.3			7.4
Risk-free interest rate		2.2	%		2.1	%
Volatility		62.6	%		65.9	%
Dividend yield		—			—

The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected term and volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.

A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 is as follows:

	Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 29, 2014		800		$	9.77
Granted		150		$	27.38
Exercised		(5	)	$	8.96
Forfeited		(4	)	$	8.75
Expired		—		$	—
Outstanding at March 29, 2015		941		$	12.60		5.8	$	21,775
Vested and expected to vest as of March 29, 2015		933		$	12.50		5.8	$	21,688
Exercisable at March 29, 2015		691		$	8.61		4.8	$	18,755

As of March 29, 2015, all options subject to a market condition were vested. During the quarter ended March 29, 2015, 10 options subject to a market condition vested when the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was at least $30 per share for thirty consecutive trading days.

At March 29, 2015, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $1,762, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

For the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $91, and $12,826, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $41 and $3,056 and the tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $35 and $4,930 for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively.

Restricted stock units

During the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company granted 17 and 25 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The director RSUs became fully vested on the grant date. The director RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The vested director RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of service as a member of the Board. The grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company estimated the fair value of such awards granted during the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 to be $28.58 and $23.23 per director RSU, respectively.

During July 2013, the Company granted 22 RSUs to certain key employees. The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service. If, after the first anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date, the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested employee RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of stock and issued to the grantee. The Company estimated the fair value of such awards granted to be $22.08 per employee RSU.

The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date.

A summary of the RSU activity for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 is as follows:

	Non-vested			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Vested			Total			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at June 29, 2014		49		$	16.11		152			201		$	14.19
Granted		17		$	28.58		—			17		$	28.58

Forfeited		—		$	—		—			—		$	—
Outstanding at March 29, 2015		20		$	18.35		182			202		$	15.45

At March 29, 2015, the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest was 202 with an aggregate intrinsic value of $7,244. The aggregate intrinsic value of the 182 vested RSUs at March 29, 2015 was $6,499.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs at March 29, 2015 is $99, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

For the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the total intrinsic value of RSUs converted was $425 and $696, respectively. The tax benefit realized from the conversion of RSUs was $166 and $275 for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively.
