The Loral amended and restated 2005 stock incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) which allowed for the grant of several forms of stock-based compensation awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards, had a ten-year term and has expired. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, outstanding and unconverted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were 98,917 and 75,262, respectively, that are vested and do not expire.

During 2020, we paid special dividends of $7.00 per share for an aggregate dividend amount of $216.5 million (see Note 2). In accordance with Loral’s Stock Incentive Plan, an equitable adjustment was made to outstanding stock-based awards to reflect the cash dividend. As a result, RSUs outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan increased by 23,655 during 2020.
