Stock Options and Incentive Stock Awards
On November 11, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Stock Plan”). We will not be granting additional awards under either the Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan or the Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan. Instead, all future stock awards will be granted under the 2010 Stock Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Stock Plan is 500,000 plus any shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the prior plans that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised. We expense stock compensation costs in the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items of our consolidated statements of operations over the vesting periods of each grant.
Delta Apparel, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Stock Plan”)
During the quarter ended October 1, 2011, we granted restricted stock units for 91,450 of our shares. These units will vest upon the filing of our Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2013. In addition, performance units for 143,450 shares were granted. Of these units, 52,000 will vest upon the filing of our Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 and are based on the achievement of performance criteria for the one year period ending June 30, 2012. The remaining 91,450 units will vest upon the filing of our Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2013 and are based on the achievement of performance criteria for the two year period ending June 29, 2013.
For the three months ended October 1, 2011, we expensed $0.5 million in connection with outstanding awards made under the 2010 Stock Plan. As of October 1, 2011 there was $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the 2010 Stock Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.92 years.
Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”)
We expensed $43 thousand and $44 thousand during the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with our Option Plan. As of October 1, 2011, there was $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options under the Option Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.75 years. During the quarter ended October 1, 2011, vested options representing 2,000 shares of our common stock were exercised, and the shares issued, in accordance with their respective agreements.
Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan (“Award Plan”)
For the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, we expensed $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in connection with our Award Plan. The compensation expense includes the cost associated with the tax-assistance component of the awards, which is included in accrued liabilities until payment of the taxes associated with the vesting of the awards.
