STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the nine months ended December 2018, VF granted stock options to employees to purchase 89,471 shares of its Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $80.84 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.
The grant date fair value of each option award was calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporated a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:
Also during the nine months ended December 2018, VF granted 17,233 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 performance cycle. Each performance-based 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 three-year financial targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares will be issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of the three-year performance period. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $80.18 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 Consumer Discretionary Index. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $4.61 per share.
VF granted 51,166 nonperformance-based RSUs to certain key employees in international jurisdictions during the nine months ended December 2018. These units generally vest over periods of up to four years from the date of grant and each unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $76.82 per share.
In addition, VF granted 27,707 nonperformance-based RSUs to employees during the nine months ended December 2018. These awards generally vest 50% over a two-year period and 50% over a four-year period from the date of grant and entitle the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $83.15 per share.
For all nonperformance-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 2018, dividend equivalents accrue and are payable in additional shares of VF Common Stock at the vesting date. Dividend equivalents are subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the nonperformance-based RSUs.
VF granted 69,476 restricted shares of VF Common Stock to certain members of management during the nine months ended December 2018. These shares vest over periods of up to four years from the date of grant. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the shares were granted was $79.66 per share.
