Note 5. Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Savings and Retirement Plan. The Company has a 401(k) plan that allows eligible employees to contribute up to 85% of their eligible compensation, subject to annual limits. The Company matches a portion of the employee contributions and may, at its discretion, make additional contributions based upon earnings. The Company’s contribution expense was $81 million, $77 million and $70 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Equity Compensation Plans. The 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) was adopted during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and replaced the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and their predecessor plans (the Prior Plans). The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock units and other share-based awards and is the source of shares issued under the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the NQDCP). The shares authorized under the 2006 Plan were approximately 573,284,000 at September 27, 2015. The share reserve remaining under the 2006 Plan was approximately 199,772,000 at September 27, 2015. Shares subject to any stock option under the Prior Plans that is terminated or canceled (but not a stock option under the Prior Plans that expires) following the date that the 2006 Plan was approved by stockholders, and shares that are subject to an award under the NQDCP and are returned to the Company because they fail to vest, will again become available for grant under the 2006 Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company may amend or terminate the 2006 Plan at any time. Certain amendments, including an increase in the share reserve, require stockholder approval.
RSUs are share awards that entitle the holder to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The RSUs generally include dividend-equivalent rights and vest over periods of three years from the date of grant. A summary of RSU transactions for all equity compensation plans follows:
At September 27, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs granted prior to that date was $1.3 billion, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The total vest-date fair value of RSUs that vested during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $1.0 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Upon vesting, the Company issues new shares of common stock. For the majority of RSUs, shares are issued on the vesting dates net of the amount of shares needed to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements to be paid by the Company on behalf of the employees. The total shares withheld related to all share-based awards were approximately 5,043,000, 5,568,000 and 5,805,000 in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were based on the value of the awards on their vesting dates as determined by the Company’s closing stock price. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $351 million, $417 million and $374 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Board of Directors may grant stock options to selected employees, directors and consultants to the Company to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Stock options vest over periods not exceeding five years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the grant date. A summary of stock option transactions for all equity compensation plans follows:
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $371 million, $971 million and $949 million, respectively, and the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $519 million, $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Upon option exercise, the Company issues new shares of stock. The total tax benefits realized, including the excess tax benefits, related to share-based awards was $437 million, $690 million and $659 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company has an employee stock purchase plan for eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first or the last day of each offering period, which is generally six months. Employees may authorize the Company to withhold up to 15% of their compensation during any offering period, subject to certain limitations. The employee stock purchase plan includes a non-423(b) plan. The shares authorized under the employee stock purchase plan were approximately 71,709,000 at September 27, 2015. The shares reserved for future issuance were approximately 26,361,000 at September 27, 2015. During fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 4,977,000, 4,376,000 and 4,044,000 shares, respectively, were issued under the plan at an average price of $53.92, $58.81 and $52.70 per share, respectively. At September 27, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested purchase rights granted prior to that date was $23 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of purchase rights of $268 million, $257 million and $213 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
