Material Changes
On June 27, 2005, the Board of Directors modified stock options held by Donald R. Beall, a former director who retired on April 28, 2005. The changes included:
- Acceleration: Vesting of 36,750 options was accelerated, making them immediately exercisable.
- Extension: The exercise period for 73,500 options (including the accelerated portion) was extended from July 28, 2005, to April 28, 2007.
- Unaffected Options: 258,514 other outstanding options remained unchanged under their original terms.
Management Commentary and Accounting Impact
Management applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44 to the modifications:
- No Impact: 13,500 options had exercise prices higher than the market price at the modification date, resulting in zero intrinsic value and no additional compensation cost.
- Non-Cash Charge: The modification of the remaining 60,000 options, which had exercise prices lower than the market price, resulted in a non-cash charge of $57,450.
- Accounting Method: Fixed stock option accounting continues to apply as neither the number of options nor the exercise prices were changed.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of outstanding options for Mr. Beall and the specific exercise prices ($6.24 to $11.75) to assess potential dilution.
- Confirm the market price of Skyworks stock on June 27, 2005, to validate the calculation of the $57,450 non-cash charge.
- Review the company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K to understand the context of this charge relative to overall quarterly expenses.
- Check if similar modifications were made for other former directors or employees not disclosed in this specific filing.
