Each restricted stock unit granted on or after April 27, 2023 reduces the number of shares available for grant by 1.0 share and each restricted stock unit forfeited increases shares available for grant by 1.0 share.

Nonvested Equity Stock and Stock Units

The Company grants nonvested equity stock units to officers, employees and directors. These awards have a service condition, generally a service period of four years, except in the case of grants to directors, for which the service period is one year. The Company also grants performance unit awards to certain company executive officers with vesting subject to the achievement of certain performance and/or market conditions. The ultimate number of performance units that can be earned can range from 0% to 200% of target depending on performance relative to target over the applicable period. The shares earned will vest on the third or fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The Company’s shares available for grant have been reduced to reflect the shares that could be earned at the maximum target.

Unrecognized stock-based compensation related to all nonvested equity stock grants, net of estimated forfeitures, was approximately $77.1 million as of March 31, 2026. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
