Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
On November 11, 2010, the Delta Apparel, Inc. shareholders approved the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan ("2010 Stock Plan"). Upon shareholder approval of the 2010 Stock Plan, no additional awards have been or will be granted under either the Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") or the Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan ("Award Plan"); instead, all stock awards have and 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 Option Plan or Award Plan 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the vesting periods of each grant.
2010 Stock Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we expensed $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in connection with the outstanding awards made under the 2010 Stock Plan. These amounts were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, we made adjustments to the expected vesting of the performance units and to the estimated forfeiture rate on the restricted share units. The Board of Directors previously granted 96,450 performance-based share units to certain executives. These share awards vest only upon achieving specified return on capital employed (as defined) performance targets over fiscal years 2012 and 2013. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, we determined that the ability to achieve the performance criteria related to these awards is no longer probable. As a result, we reversed $0.4 million of related share-based expense previously recognized and recognized no additional expense related to these awards. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we realized a benefit of $0.1 million from an actual forfeiture experience that was higher than previously estimated on restricted stock units, resulting primarily from an executive's departure from the Company. Accordingly, we increased the estimated forfeiture rate used in recognizing stock-based compensation expense on restricted stock units from a 5% forfeiture rate to a 16.5% forfeiture rate. The impact of these events, combined with the expense recorded on the restricted share units, resulted in a $0.3 million net benefit recorded during the quarter ended December 29, 2012.
During the first nine months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we expensed $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in connection with outstanding awards made under the 2010 Stock Plan. As of March 30, 2013, there was $0.9 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 2.4 years. During the quarter ended March 30, 2013, no stock awards were granted under the 2010 Stock Plan.
Option Plan
All options granted under the Option Plan have vested. As such, no expense was recognized during the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2012, we expensed $44 thousand and $130 thousand, respectively, in connection with the Option Plan. During the quarter ended March 30, 2013, vested options representing 124,000 shares of our common stock were exercised, and the shares issued, in accordance with their respective agreements.
Award Plan
All awards granted under the Award Plan have vested and been exercised, and no awards remain outstanding. As such, no expense was recognized during the third quarter or first nine months of fiscal year 2013. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, no expense was recognized. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 we expensed $0.1 million in connection with the Award Plan.
