Share-Based Compensation | Note 10: Share-Based Compensation Our share-based compensation plans primarily consist of awards of RSUs and stock options to certain employees and directors as part of our approach to long-term incentive compensation. Additionally, through our employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of Comcast Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. In March 2016, we granted 5.9 million RSUs and 20.7 million stock options related to our annual management awards. The weighted-average fair values associated with these grants were $59.50 per RSU and $11.45 per stock option.
