Note 12. Stock Plans
Stock options may be granted to key employees and directors under the Actuant Corporation 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). At August 31, 2016, 9,400,000 shares of Class A common stock were authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 1,935,182 shares were available for future award grants. The Plan permits the Company to grant share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and performance shares (the "Performance Shares") to employees and directors. Options generally have a maximum term of ten years, an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and generally vest 50% after three years and 100% after five years. The Company’s restricted stock grants generally have similar vesting provisions. The performance shares include a three-year performance period, with vesting based 50% on achievement of an absolute free cash flow conversion target and 50% on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 600 SmallCap Industrial index. The provisions of share-based awards may vary by individual grant with respect to vesting period, dividend and voting rights, performance conditions and forfeitures.
A summary of stock option activity during fiscal 2016 is as follows:
Intrinsic value is the difference between the market value of the stock at August 31, 2016 and the exercise price which is aggregated for all options outstanding and exercisable. A summary of the weighted-average grant-date fair value of options, total intrinsic value of options exercised, and cash receipts from options exercised is summarized below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
A summary of restricted stock activity (including Performance Shares) during fiscal 2016 is as follows:
As of August 31, 2016, there was $24.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards/units, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. The total fair value of share-based awards that vested during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 was $12.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively.
The Company generally records compensation expense over the vesting period for restricted stock awards based on the market value of Actuant common stock on the grant date. Stock based compensation expense is determined using a binomial pricing model for options. The fair value of Performance Shares with market vesting conditions is determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option were based upon historical data and standard industry valuation practices and methodology. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in each fiscal year:
