Certain restricted stock unit awards have performance-based vesting provisions and are subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, if these performance conditions are not achieved. Management assesses, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved and, once it is deemed probable, compensation expense is recognized over the relevant performance period. For those awards not subject to performance criteria, the cost of the restricted stock unit awards is expensed, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
