Restricted Stock

As of March 31, 2016, the unamortized cost of all outstanding restricted stock awards was $4.1 million, which Viad expects to recognize in the consolidated financial statements over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company repurchased 23,625 shares for $0.7 million and 32,806 shares for $0.9 million, respectively, related to tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards. As of March 31, 2016, there were 890,954 total shares available for future grant in accordance with the provisions of the 2007 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

PUP Awards

In February 2016, the PUP Plan was amended to provide that PUP awards earned under the 2007 Plan may be payable in the form of cash or in shares of Viad common stock (or a combination of both). Previously, payouts could only be made in cash. The vesting of shares is based upon achievement of certain performance-based criteria. The performance period of the shares is for a three-year period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Viad granted $3.6 million PUP awards of which $0.9 million are payable in shares. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Viad had recorded liabilities of $2.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to PUP awards. In March 2016, the PUP awards granted in 2013 vested and cash payouts of $0.2 million were distributed. In March 2015, the PUP awards granted in 2012 vested and cash payouts of $2.4 million were distributed.

Restricted Stock Units

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Viad had aggregate liabilities recorded of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to restricted stock units. In February 2016, portions of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 restricted stock units vested and cash payouts of $0.2 million were distributed. Similarly, in February 2015, portions of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 restricted stock units vested and cash payouts of $0.3 million were distributed.

Stock Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there was no stock option activity. As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there were 63,773 stock options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $16.62. As of March 31, 2016, there were no unrecognized costs related to non-vested stock option awards.
