Note K — Stock-based Compensation

During the second quarter of 2013, VF did not grant any stock-based compensation awards.

During the first quarter of 2013, VF granted options to purchase 884,308 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $161.95, equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the option grant date. Employee stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years. Options granted to 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 2013, VF granted 180,925 performance–based restricted stock units 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 value 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. The actual number of shares earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) over the three year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. 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 on the date the units were granted was $161.95.

VF granted 4,081 nonperformance-based restricted stock units to members of the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2013. 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 $161.95 per share.

VF granted 38,500 nonperformance-based restricted stock units to employees during the first quarter of 2013. These units vest in four years and each RSU 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 $151.89 per share.

VF granted to employees, during the first quarter of 2013, 74,500 restricted shares of VF Common Stock with a grant date fair value of $151.89 per share. These shares will vest in four years, assuming the grantees remain employed through the vesting date.
