The 2011 Incentive Plan replaced the Zale Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan. We are authorized to issue up to 5.5 million shares of our common stock for stock options and restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors under the plans. As of July 31, 2013, we have 1.0 million shares available to be issued under the plans. Stock options and restricted share awards are issued from treasury stock. Stock-based compensation expense is included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $3.3 million, $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations related to stock-based compensation totaled $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.1 million during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"><b><i> Stock Options.</i></b></font><font size="2"> Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the shares of our common stock at the date of grant, generally vest ratably over a four-year period and generally expire ten years from the date of grant.

Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees through fiscal year 2007 generally vested on the third anniversary of the grant date and are subject to restrictions on sale or transfer. Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2011 generally vest twenty-five percent on the second and third anniversary of the date of the grant and the remaining fifty percent vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant, subject to restrictions on sale or transfer. Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees after fiscal year 2011 vest ratably over a three-year vesting period. Restricted stock granted to non-employee directors vest on the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, the date of the next annual stockholder meeting and are subject to restrictions on sale or transfer. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. Performance-based restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive a specified number of shares of our common stock based on our achievement of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee. There were 297,500 performance-based restricted stock units outstanding as of July 31, 2013 and 2012. At the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, the holder of a restricted stock unit or performance-based restricted stock unit may receive a cash payment in lieu of a payout of shares of common stock equal to the fair market value of the number of shares of common stock the holder otherwise would have received. The total fair value of restricted share awards that vested during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, was $3.0 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2013, there was $3.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify;
