Stock-Based Compensation

17. Stock-Based Compensation

On October 23, 2013, UNIFI’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 can 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 expired, were forfeited or otherwise terminated unexercised.

The 2013 Plan expired in accordance with its terms on October 24, 2018, and the Unifi, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended 2013 Plan”) became effective on that same day, upon approval by shareholders at UNIFI’s annual meeting of shareholders held on October 31, 2018.  The Amended 2013 Plan increased the number of shares available for future issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Amended 2013 Plan to 1,250 and removed provisions no longer applicable due to the recent changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The material terms and provisions of the Amended 2013 Plan are otherwise similar to those of the 2013 Plan.  No additional awards can be granted under the 2013 Plan; however, prior awards outstanding under the 2013 Plan remain subject to that plan’s provisions.

The following table provides information as of June 30, 2019 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the Amended 2013 Plan:

Stock Options

During fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 190, 73 and 153 shares of its common stock, respectively, to certain key employees.  The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have 10-year contractual terms.  For fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, the weighted average exercise price of the stock options granted was $23.73, $32.61 and $28.82 per share, respectively.  UNIFI used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $8.42, $11.14 and $10.13 per share, respectively.

 

During fiscal 2019, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 33 shares of its common stock to a member of the Board. The stock options became fully vested on the grant date and have 10-year contractual terms. The exercise price was $21.02 and the grant date fair value was $7.60.

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

UNIFI 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 stock options.

At June 30, 2019, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was $568, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

For fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $971, $2,703 and $5,802, respectively.  The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $483, $219 and $2,787 for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $61, $398 and $1,517 for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Vested Share Units

During fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, UNIFI granted 75, 86 and 150 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees.  The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common 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.  UNIFI estimated the weighted average fair value of each employee RSU granted during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 to be $23.58, $32.16 and $27.66 respectively.

During fiscal 2019, UNIFI granted 47 vested share units (“VSUs”) to UNIFI’s non-employee directors.  The director VSUs became fully vested on the grant date, but convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such director VSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The director VSUs 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.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each director VSU granted during fiscal 2019 to be $23.27.

During fiscal 2018 and 2017, UNIFI granted 30 and 31 RSUs, respectively, to UNIFI’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 common stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common 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.  With respect to the RSUs granted in fiscal 2017, the grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of Company common stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each director RSU granted during fiscal 2018 and 2017 to be $35.83 and $29.09, respectively.

UNIFI estimates the fair value of RSUs and VSUs based on the market price of UNIFI’s common stock at the award grant date.
