Change-in-Control Compensation — Acceleration of Equity Awards

We have agreed to accelerate the vesting of restricted stock and stock options held by the Named Executive Officers upon the approval by our shareholders of an “Approved Transaction.” This acceleration of vesting will occur whether or not their employment is terminated. In our agreements, “Approved Transaction” is generally defined to include:

 

   

an acquisition of NIKE through a merger, consolidation or plan of exchange,

 

   

a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or

 

   

the adoption of a plan for our liquidation or dissolution.

The following table shows the estimated benefits that would have been received by the Named Executive Officers if our shareholders had approved an Approved Transaction on May 31, 2009.

(1) Information regarding unvested restricted stock held by each Named Executive Officer is set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above. The award agreements provide that all shares will immediately vest upon the approval by our shareholders of an Approved Transaction. The amounts in the table above represent the number of unvested restricted shares multiplied by a stock price of $57.05 per share, which was the closing price of our Class B Common Stock on May 29, 2009.

 

(2) Information regarding outstanding unexercisable options held by each Named Executive Officer is set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above. The stock option agreements provide that upon the approval by our shareholders of an Approved Transaction all outstanding unexercisable options will immediately become exercisable and all unexercised options will remain exercisable during the remainder of the term of the options, except that the Compensation Committee may provide a 30-day period prior to the Approved Transaction during which the optionees may exercise the options without any limitation on exercisability. At the end of the 30-day period, the options would terminate. Amounts in the table above represent the aggregate value as of May 31, 2009 of each Named Executive Officer’s outstanding unexercisable options based on the positive spread between the exercise price of each option and a stock price of $57.05 per share, which was the closing price of our Class B Common Stock on May 29, 2009.
