19. Share-Based Compensation:
Overview
The Company grants share-based compensation awards to its Team Members and members of its Board of Directors as
provided for under the Company’s 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or LTIP. In Fiscal 2012, the Company switched from
granting restricted stock to granting restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Company currently grants share-based compensation
in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), RSUs and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). The Company also has outstanding
restricted stock granted prior to the transition to RSUs and outstanding stock options granted prior to the end of Fiscal 2007.
General Terms of Awards
The Company’s grants of SARs, RSUs and historically, restricted stock awards, generally included both a time-based
service portion and a performance-based portion, which collectively represent the target award. In Fiscal 2013, corresponding
with its annual December grant, the Company simplified its award structure in the form of time-based RSUs and performance-
based SARs, as described below.
Time Vested Awards
The SARs generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the
grant date. All SARs granted are non-qualified, terminate on the seventh anniversary of the grant date and contain no post-
vesting restrictions other than normal trading black-out periods prescribed by the Company’s corporate governance policies.
During the vesting period, holders of RSUs and restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends or in the case of RSUs,
dividend equivalents, while holders of restricted stock are also entitled to voting rights. All RSU and restricted stock grants
generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. For
restricted stock, the shares are issued upon grant, but are restricted until they vest and cannot be sold by the recipient until the
restriction has lapsed at the end of the respective vesting period.
Performance-Based Awards
Each performance award may vest following a three-year period subject to the Company’s achievement of certain financial
goals. The performance RSUs and restricted stock awards do not have dividend equivalent rights and do not have voting rights
until earned and issued following the end of the applicable performance period. Depending on the Company’s results during the
three-year performance period, the actual number of shares vesting at the end of the period may range from 75% to 200% of the
target award (50% to 200% for certain officers). Beginning with the December 2013 grant, the target award for purposes of
calculating performance vesting consists solely of the performance award granted rather than the entire time-based and
performance-based portions granted.
