During the quarter ended June 2011, VF did not grant any stock-based compensation awards.
During the first six months of 2011, VF granted options to purchase 925,635 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $95.56, equal to the market value of VF Common Stock on the option grant date. The options vest in equal annual installments, generally over a three year period. The fair value of these options was estimated using a lattice valuation model, with the following assumptions: expected volatility ranging from 27% to 38%, with a weighted average of 34%; expected term of 5.6 to 7.5 years; expected dividend yield of 3.1%; and a risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.2% at six months to 3.5% at 10 years. The resulting weighted average fair value of these options at the grant date was $24.99 per option.
Also during the first six months of 2011, VF granted 241,751 performance-based restricted stock units that generally entitle the recipients to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three year performance period. The actual number of shares that will be earned, if any, will be based on VF's performance over that period. The fair value of VF's Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $95.23 per share.
VF also granted, during the first six months of 2011, 19,000 shares of restricted VF Common Stock and 15,000 restricted stock units with a fair value at the grant date of $86.51 per share. These shares and units will vest in 2015, assuming the grantees remain employed through the vesting date.
