As at March 3, 2012, there was $17 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock
options which will be expensed over the vesting period, which, on a weighted-average basis, results in a period of approximately
1.2 years. The total fair value of stock options vested during the year ended March 3, 2012 was $27 million.
Cash received from the stock options exercised for the year ended March 3, 2012 was $9 million (February 26, 2011 - $67
million). Tax deficiencies incurred by the Company related to the stock options exercised was $2 million at March 3, 2012
(February 26, 2011 – tax deficiencies incurred of $1 million; February 27, 2010 – tax benefits realized of $2 million).
During the years ended March 3, 2012 and February 26, 2011, there were no stock options granted. During the year ended
February 27, 2010, there were approximately 559 thousand stock options granted. The weighted-average fair values of stock
options granted during fiscal 2010 were calculated using the BSM option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
At the time the stock options were granted, the Company had no current expectation of paying cash dividends on its common
shares and the risk-free interest rates utilized during the life of the stock options was based on a U.S.
