and 3) matching restricted stock awards pursuant to which restricted stock awards were granted equal to qualifying stock purchases by the employees. In
2005, the restricted stock and purchased restricted stock awards aggregated 261,998 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $23.82 as of the grant date.
In 2004, the restricted stock and purchased restricted stock awards aggregated 254,757 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $15.89 as of the grant
date. In 2003, the restricted stock and purchased restricted stock awards aggregated 105,110 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.88 as of the
grant date.
Compensation cost for restricted stock and purchased restricted stock awards is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise
price of the award and fair value at the date of grant. We record such expense on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the award with the offsetting
entry to additional paid-in capital. For performance accelerated restricted stock, the expected life is determined based on our best estimate of the number of
years from the grant date to the date at which it is probable that the performance targets will be met (four or five years, depending on the grant).
Compensation cost is calculated as if all instruments granted that are subject only to a service requirement will vest. Compensation expense related to
restricted stock grants was $5.0 million in 2005, $3.1 million in 2004 and $2.4 million in 2003.
A summary of the status of our common stock incentive plans as of July 30, 2005, July 31, 2004 and August 2, 2003 and changes during the fiscal years
ended on those dates are presented in the following table:
