This excerpt taken from the FL DEF 14A filed Apr 17, 2007. The 2007 Stock Plan permits the award of stock appreciation rights (SARs) to participants. Each SAR may relate to and be associated with a specific Option or may be freestanding. In the case of an SAR that is related to an Option, the SAR may be granted either at the time the Option is granted or, if related to a Nonqualified Option, at any time thereafter. An SAR related to an Option is subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Option and is exercisable only to the extent the related Option is exercisable. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to (i) the excess of the (x) Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date of the SAR over (y) the price specified in the SAR on the date of grant or, in the case of an SAR related to an Option, the Option price of the related Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of stock as to which the SAR is being exercised. Any payment with respect to an SAR will be made in Common Stock determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the SAR or, alternatively, at the discretion of the Committee, solely in cash, or in a combination of cash and Common Stock. On the exercise of an SAR related to an Option, the related Option, or portion thereof in respect of which the SAR is exercised, terminates. For purposes of the 2007 Stock Plan, the Fair Market Value of a share of the Companys Common Stock is determined based on the closing price on the applicable date of a share of Common Stock as reported on The New York Stock Exchange. |
