Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation Share-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is adjusted for estimated forfeitures and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally three years for stock options and one to three years for time-based and performance-based restricted stock units. The Company estimates future forfeiture rates based on its historical experience.

On May 19, 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Special Incentive Program (the “SIP”) to incentivize performance against multi-year goals and to aid in the retention of certain Company executives. On July 5, 2023, pursuant to the SIP, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) that vest on February 28, 2026, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance measures. On the same date, the Company granted time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards to certain key executives, other than the CEO and CFO, pursuant to the SIP. The time-based restricted stock units granted to such other executives pursuant to the SIP will fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, while the performance-based restricted stock units granted to such other executives pursuant to the SIP will vest 70% on the two-year anniversary of the grant date and 30% on the three-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the achievement of applicable performance measures.

The Company maintains a 2013 Incentive Plan and a 2022 Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Incentive Plans”), which allow for grants of stock-based awards. At December 31, 2023, there were approximately 21 million share-based awards collectively available for grant under the Incentive Plans. The 2013 Incentive Plan generally provides for stock-based awards to employees to vest over a minimum of three years, although some awards may vest earlier if granted to a new employee or if tied to the achievement of specified market or performance conditions, in which case such awards vest no earlier than one year from the date of grant. The 2022 Incentive Plan generally provides for stock-based awards to employees to vest no earlier than one year from the date of grant, subject to a de minimis exception. The stock-based awards granted to employees include stock options and time-based and performance-based restricted stock units, as follows:

Stock Options

In years in which the Company has elected to grant stock options, it has issued them at exercise prices equal to the Company’s common stock price on the date of grant with contractual terms of ten years. Stock options issued by the Company generally vest and are expensed ratably over three years. Stock option grants are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting, except upon retirement, death or disability, in which case the options may remain outstanding and exercisable for a specified period not to exceed the remaining contractual term of the option.

During 2023, the Company awarded 0.5 million time-based stock options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $2 million. These stock options entitle recipients to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares as of the grant date and cliff vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date for certain awards or the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date immediately preceding the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of shareholders for other awards.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, are as follows:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was immaterial in 2023 and 2022 and $2 million in 2021.

Time-Based and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Time-based restricted stock unit awards (“Time-Based RSUs”), including such awards granted under the SIP, represent the right to receive unrestricted shares of stock based on continued employment and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the vesting date, except a termination for death, disability or retirement. Time-Based RSU awards to employees primarily vest over a one to three-year period. In the case of retirement (as defined in the award agreement), Time-Based RSUs generally vest in part depending on the employee’s age and years of service.

Time-Based RSUs have dividend equivalents credited to the recipient that are paid only to the extent the applicable service criteria is met, the Time-Based RSUs vest and the related stock is issued.

Performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance-Based RSUs”), including such awards granted under the SIP, represent the right to receive unrestricted shares of stock based on continuous employment plus the achievement of Company performance objectives and/or individual performance goals established by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors. Such awards are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting, except a termination for death, disability or retirement. In the case of retirement (as defined in the award agreement), Performance-Based RSUs vest in whole or part depending on the employee’s age and years of service, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance criteria.

Performance-Based RSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock if performance objectives are achieved, and typically vest no earlier than one year from the date of grant and no later than three years from the date of grant. The actual number of shares that will ultimately be earned is dependent on the level of achievement of the specified performance conditions. For restricted stock units with performance conditions that are based on stock price (“Stock-Price Based RSUs”), the grant date fair value of certain Stock-Price based RSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, with the primary input into such valuation being the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock, and if applicable, the volatilities of the common stocks of the companies in the Company’s peer group, upon which the relative total shareholder return performance is measured. Performance-Based RSUs have dividend equivalents credited to the recipient that are paid only to the extent the applicable service and performance criteria are met, the Performance-Based RSUs vest and the related stock is issued .

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to relevant authoritative guidance, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, over the longer of the derived service period or explicit requisite service period for awards expected to vest. For non- stock-price based Performance-Based RSUs, the Company assesses the probability of achievement of the performance conditions each period and records expense for the awards based on the probable achievement of such metrics.

(1)The Grant Adjustment primarily relates to an adjustment in the quantity of Performance-Based RSUs ultimately vested during 2023 that were dependent on the level of achievement of the specified performance conditions.

The weighted-average grant-date fair values of awards granted were $26 and $25 per share in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair values of awards that vested were $13 million, $39 million and $32 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During 2023, the Company awarded 4.4 million Time-Based RSUs, which had an aggregate grant date fair value of $54 million, that generally vests in annual installments over a one to three-year period.

During 2023, the Company also awarded 6.1 million Performance-Based RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $62 million, that generally entitle the recipients to shares of the Company’s common stock over a two to three-year vesting period. The actual number of shares that will ultimately be paid upon vesting is dependent on the level of achievement of the specified performance conditions.
