Stock-Based Compensation | 5. Stock-Based Compensation Our 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by our shareholders on May 20, 2009. Under the terms of the Plan, our Board of Directors may grant up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of shares of restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-qualified We grant restricted stock to certain employees and members of our Board of Directors. The value of restricted stock issued is based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date. Vesting of restricted stock is conditional based on continued employment or service for a specified period and, in certain circumstances, the attainment of financial goals. We retain the restricted stock, and any dividends paid thereon, until the vesting conditions have been met. For awards with a service condition only, compensation cost related to the stock is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For awards that have a service condition and require the attainment of financial goals, compensation cost related to the stock is calculated based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions and is recognized over the performance period. Compensation cost related to restricted stock was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, respectively. The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2017: Shares Weighted Balance at December 31, 2016 145,363 $ 49.22 Granted 57,011 $ 78.21 Vested (37,637 ) $ 53.86 Cancelled (276 ) $ 52.19 Balance at April 1, 2017 164,461 $ 58.21 As of April 1, 2017, there was approximately $7.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years. Cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the tax effect of compensation cost recognized in the financial statements are classified as operating cash flows. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-09 paid-in We grant stock options to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors. We expense the grant-date fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for which related services are performed. The compensation cost charged against income for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016 was less than $0.1 million in each period. The compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. No cost was capitalized during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. Expected volatility and expected dividend yield are based on the actual historical experience of our common stock. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was calculated using historical option exercise data. The risk-free rate was based on a U.S. Treasury security with terms equal to the expected time of exercise as of the grant date. During the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, we granted 55,508 and 46,684 stock options, respectively.
