Stock-Based Compensation STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. At September 30, 2021, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units and phantom stock awards.

Pre-tax compensation expense included in income from continuing operations for these stock-based incentives was as follows, in millions:

Long-Term Stock Awards. Prior to the amendment of our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan in December 2019, we granted long-term stock awards to our key employees and non-employee Directors. We did not grant shares of long-term stock awards in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are granted to our key employees and non-employee Directors. These grants did not cause net share dilution due to our practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market.

We granted 662,980 restricted stock units in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $57 per share. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 141,461 shares were issued and 15,487 restricted stock units were forfeited. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we granted 437,170 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $47 per share and 7,930 restricted stock units were forfeited.

At September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was $18 million and $8 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units; such units had a weighted average remaining vesting period of two years at both September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The total market value (at the vesting date) of restricted stock units which vested was $8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Performance Restricted Stock Units. Under our Long Term Incentive Program, we grant performance restricted stock units to certain senior executives. These performance restricted stock units will vest and share awards will be issued at no cost to the employees, subject to our achievement of specified performance metrics established by our Compensation Committee over a three-year performance period and the recipient's continued employment through the share award date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we granted 85,360 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $53 per share and 104,757 shares were issued. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we granted 133,390 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $34 per share and 151,724 shares were issued. No performance restricted stock units were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
