Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

For each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3 million ($3 million, net of tax) and $3 million ($2 million, net of tax), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $13 million ($9 million, net of tax) and $10 million ($8 million, net of tax), respectively. These charges are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

As of September 30, 2020, there were $39 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units granted under the Amended and Restated Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.95 years.

On February 24, 2015, our board of directors approved and recommended for approval by our stockholders the Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Employee Stock Purchase Plan”), which became effective for offering periods commencing July 1, 2015. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan was intended to qualify for the favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code. Under the plan, eligible employees of the Company may purchase common stock, subject to IRS limits, during pre-specified offering periods at a discount established by the Company not to exceed 10 percent of the then current fair market value. On April 27, 2015, our stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a maximum of one million shares of common stock authorized for sale under the plan. On November 3, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the one million shares of common stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless

purchased by our affiliates. Our Compensation Committee amended the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in February 2019 to allow for more frequent purchase periods and to change the allowed 10 percent discount to a company match of 10 percent of employee contributions. The authorized number of shares remaining in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from 843,584 and the expiration date of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from April 27, 2025. As of September 30, 2020 there were 790,543 shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
