10. Stock-Based Compensation |
Equity Incentive Plans— The Company has outstanding awards under the following equity incentive plans: the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”), the 2008 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Non Statutory Plan”) and the 2013 Omnibus Plan, (the “2013 Plan”). All outstanding stock awards under the 2008 Plan and 2008 Non Statutory Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. No further awards will be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan or the 2008 Non Statutory Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has the ability to issue incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units and/or performance shares. |
The equity incentive plans are administered by the board of directors (“Board”) of the Company or, if established by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, which has the authority to determine the type of incentive award, as well as the terms and conditions of the awards, including (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the award; (ii) when the award becomes exercisable; (iii) the award’s exercise price (if applicable); and (iv) the duration of the award. Awards have various vesting schedules. Options granted under the plans have vesting periods ranging from one to five years and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. RSUs generally vest over a four-year period with 25% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting annually thereafter. |
|
Restricted Stock Units—The Company began granting RSUs to its employees and directors in August 2013. The cost of the RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. |
The Company granted 504,669 RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $0.3 million and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $8.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 3.7 years. |

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. |
Valuation Assumptions—The fair value of options on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option award approach with the weighted average assumptions set forth below. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. Estimated volatilities are based on an analysis of comparable companies and the Company’s leverage. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury strips maturing at the expected option term. Although the Company paid a dividend in 2012, the Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the future, as such, expected dividends are zero. Expected forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience. |
The assumptions used to value stock options granted to employees and to members of the board of directors were as follows: |
