Stock-Based Compensation

NOTE 8.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation granted under our Company’s stock plans is expensed in tranches over the vesting period. Non-performance based grants generally vest equally over a three or four-year period.  Performance units generally cliff vest three years after they are granted.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we granted 260,733 stock incentive units at a grant price between $55.55 and $58.88.  Each performance unit and restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock as of the vesting date.  Such common stock may be subject to forfeiture for the payment of any required tax withholding.
