Under the terms of the 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2016 Plan), the Company may issue, among others, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock settled appreciation rights (SSARs), and performance awards, collectively referred to herein as equity instruments. The 2016 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders in November 2016 and amended and restated the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) which was due to expire at the end of the ten-year period. Previous grants that were made under the 2006 Plan, and equity instruments granted prior to approval of the 2016 Plan continue to be governed by the terms of the 2006 Plan. During the periods presented all equity instrument grants were made in the form of RSUs. Other than performance-based RSUs (PRSUs) which contain a market-based element, the fair value of RSU grants was determined based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs with market-based vesting features was also measured on the grant date, but was done so using a binomial lattice model.

Annual grants under the 2016 Plan, and previously the 2006 Plan, are generally made to the Company’s key employees during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year and to members of the Company’s Board of Directors during the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. With the approval of its Chief Executive Officer, the Company also issues equity instruments to strategic new hires and to employees who have demonstrated superior performance.

The Company granted performance-based stock awards to key employees in October of 2018 and September of 2017 and 2016. The final number of PRSUs that are earned by participants and vest is based on the achievement of a specified EPS for the fiscal year and on the average share price for the 90-day period ended for the following three years. If the 90-day average share price of the Company’s stock in years one, two and three exceeds the 90-day average share price at the grant date by 100 percent or more the number of shares ultimately awarded could range up to 200 percent of the specified target award. In addition to the performance and market conditions, there is a service vesting condition that stipulates 50 percent of the award will vest approximately three years from the grant date and 50 percent will vest approximately four years from the grant date, depending on the award date.

The annual performance-based awards granted for each of the fiscal years presented were as follows:

	Performance-based stock awards granted		Number of additional shares earned under performance-based stock awards
Fiscal year 2019		101,976		—
Fiscal year 2018		185,056		20,116
Fiscal year 2017		193,420		73,065

The total number of shares authorized by shareholders for grants under the 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan is 1,200,000 plus any forfeitures from the 2006 Plan. The aggregate number of grants that may be made may exceed this approved amount as forfeited RSUs become available for future grants. As of March 31, 2019, cumulative grants of 589,893 equity instruments underlying the shares authorized have been awarded, and 134,010 of these instruments have been forfeited.

Activity related to RSUs during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 is as follows:
