Stock-Based Compensation | 3. Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company has adopted equity incentive plans that provide for the grant to employees, consultants and directors of stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units of Adept common stock. Option awards granted have an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and generally have ten-year contractual terms. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that allows employees to purchase a limited number of shares of its common stock at a discount of 15% of the market value at certain plan-defined dates that are established at six-month intervals. As of March 28, 2015, there were options to purchase approximately 339,000 shares of common stock available for grant under all option plans and approximately 281,000 shares available for issuance under the ESPP. Outstanding employee grants under the option plans generally vest, and are expensed, monthly in equal installments over a four year period (except for certain options which have a one year cliff vesting and then vest monthly), except for performance awards which vest when achievement of the performance criteria occurs, begin to be expensed when achievement of the performance criteria is probable, and are expensed over the service period or when the criteria is met. For performance awards, the Company estimates the service period based on its analysis of when the vesting criteria (typically some or all of the following components: share price, annual revenue amounts, earnings per share, net cash, and/or new customers) will occur. Restricted stock grants made under performance programs are subject to vesting quarterly over two years following the end of the relevant fiscal year of performance. |
Annual option grants of 6,000 shares to non-employee directors vest in full on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders following the meeting at which the director is elected and the annual grant is made, and the initial option grant of 10,000 shares to non-employee directors vests in the amount of 50% of the grant on the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial appointment or election of the director and the remaining 50% vests at the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the initial appointment or election of the director. |
Employee option grants are subject to a change of control plan adopted by the Company in 2014 for equity awards that provides for acceleration and vesting in full of options in connection with a change of control transaction under certain circumstances. All stock compensation has been accounted for as an equity instrument, and the Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation as an expense ratably over the service period of the individual equity instruments. |
The Company recorded $ 0.2 million and $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015, and $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, respectively. The Company did not record an income-tax benefit for the stock compensation expense as a result of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the equity incentive plans were $5.90 and $5.73 for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015, and $10.36 and $2.91 for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, respectively. During the nine months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, 33,000 and 21,000 shares, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP with weighted average grant date fair values of $3.85 and $2.62. The weighted average grant-date fair values were calculated using the following assumptions: |

Dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock, is restricted from paying cash dividends by its credit facility, and has no present intention to pay cash dividends on its common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Adept’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the observed and expected life of options and is indexed to the Treasury Constant Maturity rate. The expected life in years is based on the historic time to post-vesting exercise and forfeitures of the options. The Company has generally assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for each period for its options. The Company adjusts stock-based compensation expense if the actual forfeiture rate is different than estimated. |

In 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for up to 112,500 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The RSUs vest upon the earlier of the CEO’s separation from service or a change in control. The number of shares issuable upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs, if any, will be determined based on the Company’s stock price on the vesting date and, in the case of a separation from service, the extent to which certain performance criteria has been met. No compensation expense has been recognized on these RSUs as the fair value is not determinable. |

As of March 28, 2015 , there was approximately $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards granted and outstanding, the cost of which is expected to be recognized through fiscal 2018. |
