SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In May 2014, shareholders approved the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which replaced the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) for future equity awards granted by the Company. The Company transferred the common shares available under the 2011 Plan to the 2014 Plan. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued to participants under the 2014 Plan is equal to 18,000,000 common shares, plus the number of common shares under the 2011 Plan reserved but unissued and not underlying outstanding awards and the number of common shares becoming available for reuse after awards are terminated, forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered under the 2011 Plan and the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. The Company registered, in the aggregate, 20,000,000 common shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan. Approximately 10,325,965 shares were available for future grants as of September 30, 2016. The Company uses reserved and unissued common shares to satisfy its obligation under its share-based compensation plans.

In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted approximately 2,414,300 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $26.04 per option and approximately 145,000 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $212.77 per option, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted to employees in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $14.76 and $73.18, respectively.
In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted approximately 1,674,800 time-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $30.94 per RSU and approximately 116,000 time-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $213.56 per RSU, respectively.
In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted approximately 1,401,200 performance-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $37.33 per RSU and approximately 865,000 performance-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $320.17 per RSU, respectively.
In March 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a search to identify a candidate for a new Chief Executive Officer to succeed the Company's then current Chief Executive Officer, who would continue to serve in that role until his replacement was appointed. On May 2, 2016, the Company's new Chief Executive Officer assumed the role, succeeding the Company's former Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement dated January 2015, the former Chief Executive Officer was entitled to certain share-based awards and payments upon termination. Under his January 2015 employment agreement, the former Chief Executive Officer received performance-based RSUs that vest when certain market conditions (namely total shareholder return) are met at the defined dates, provided continuing employment through those dates. Under the termination provisions of his employment agreement, upon termination of the former Chief Executive Officer, the defined dates for meeting the market conditions of the performance-based RSUs were eliminated and, as a result, vesting was based solely on the attainment of the applicable level of total shareholder return through the date of termination and the resulting number of common shares, if any, to be awarded to the former Chief Executive Officer was determined on a pro-rata basis for service provided under the original performance period, with credit given for an additional year of service. Because the total shareholder return at the time of the former Chief Executive Officer’s termination did not meet the performance threshold, no common shares were issued and no value was ultimately received by the former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to this performance-based RSU award. However, an incremental share-based compensation expense of $28 million was recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, which represents the additional year of service credit consistent with the grant date fair value calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model in the first quarter of 2015, notwithstanding the fact that no value was ultimately received by the former Chief Executive Officer. In addition to the acceleration of his performance-based RSUs, the former Chief Executive Officer was also entitled to a cash severance payment of $9 million and a pro-rata annual cash bonus of approximately $2 million pursuant to his employment agreement. The cash severance payments, the pro-rata cash bonus and the associated payroll taxes were also recognized as expense in the first quarter of 2016.
On June 30, 2015, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company terminated his employment with the Company and subsequently entered into a consulting service agreement with the Company through January 2016.  As a result, the outstanding awards held by him were modified to allow the recipient to continue vesting in those awards as service is rendered during the consulting services period. Share-based compensation expense previously recognized of $6 million related to the original awards was reversed in the second quarter of 2015 when such awards were deemed improbable of vesting.  The modified awards were re-measured at fair value, at each reporting period, until the performance was complete. The value of the modified awards was recognized as expense over the requisite service period and resulted in expense of $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Subsequently, on January 6, 2016, the consulting services period was terminated in connection with such executive’s appointment as the Company’s interim chief executive officer.  The termination of the consulting services period resulted in acceleration of vesting for all unvested equity awards that were scheduled to vest during the remainder of such consulting services period (January 2016) and consequently, the associated unrecognized expense was fully recognized on such date.
As of September 30, 2016, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs amounted to $258 million, in the aggregate, which will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 2.33 years.
