Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, Technical Olympic USA, Inc. (the Company) recorded $5.0 million of selling, general and administrative expense associated with stock options that contain performance-based accelerated vesting provisions and certain other common stock purchase rights that are being accounted for under the variable accounting method as provided by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is hereby providing information regarding the potential aggregate compensation charges for 2005 that may result from such stock options and common stock purchase rights.
If the Companys common stock price reaches the stock prices below, at the end of any quarter during 2005, the Company estimates that application of the variable accounting method to these stock options and common stock purchase rights would result in the following approximate aggregate compensation charges for 2005:
Assuming Partial (80%) | ||||||||
Per Share | Assuming Current Vesting | Accelerated Vesting At | ||||||
Stock Price | Schedule | 12/31/05 | ||||||
(Dollars in Millions) | ||||||||
$20
|
$ | 1.9 | $ | 4.5 | ||||
$25
|
9.4 | 13.1 | ||||||
$30
|
16.8 | 21.8 |
The timing of expense recognition for these potential compensation charges, if any, is uncertain and depends on the price of the Companys common stock, which fluctuates based upon various factors, many of which are outside of the Companys control. The accelerated vesting of the Companys performance-based stock options depends on the extent to which the Companys stock price performance exceeds the stock price performance of certain of the Companys peers. The Company considered the information set forth above in determining its recently issued earnings guidance for 2005. To the extent the Companys stock price varies from amounts indicated above or the amount of stock options that vest on an accelerated basis varies from 80%, more or less compensation expense will be recognized.
