Item 8.01 Other Events
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of InFocus Corporation (the “Company”) has approved an acceleration of vesting of certain employee stock options with an option price greater than $5.46 (the “Acceleration”). The Acceleration is effective for all employee stock options outstanding as of May 3, 2005, except stock options granted to executives in February 2005 totaling 460,000 options. Options for 889,633 shares, or 17% of the total outstanding options with varying remaining vesting schedules, were subject to the Acceleration and became immediately exercisable.
As a result of the Acceleration, the Company expects to reduce its exposure to the effects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) new standard requiring companies to recognize stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options based on the fair value method. The recently issued FASB standard is effective beginning in fiscal 2006. The Company currently estimates a reduction in stock-based compensation expense associated with the Acceleration of approximately $1.4 million for 2006 and $1.2 million for fiscal 2007. The Acceleration was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in order to realize the expected reduction in future compensation expense.
