Note I – Stock-based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2016, VF granted stock options to employees and nonemployee members of VF’s Board of Directors to purchase 3,086,737 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $61.29 per share. The exercise price of each option granted was equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years. Stock options granted to nonemployee members of VF’s Board of Directors become exercisable one year from the date of grant. The grant date fair value of each option award is calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporates a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:

Also during the first quarter of 2016, VF granted 596,574 performance-based restricted stock units (“RSU”) to employees that enable them to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three-year period. Each RSU has a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of a three-year baseline profitability goal and annually established performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares are issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of each three-year performance period. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $61.29 per share.

The actual number of performance-based RSUs earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the 2016 RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $4.48 per share.

VF granted 13,013 nonperformance-based RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2016. These units vest upon grant and will be settled in shares of VF Common Stock one year from the date of grant. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $61.29 per share.

VF granted 28,500 nonperformance-based RSUs to certain key employees in international jurisdictions during the first quarter of 2016. These units vest four years from the date of grant and each unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $61.29 per share.

VF granted 84,927 restricted shares of VF Common Stock to certain members of management during the first quarter of 2016. These shares vest over periods of up to five years from the date of grant. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the shares were granted was $61.29 per share.
