[1] The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2015 was $117.3 million based on a grant date market price of our common units ranging from $34.04 to $34.40 per unit. An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.5% was applied to these awards.
[2] Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued.
