Supplemental Financial Information | Supplemental Financial Information Share-Based Compensation Our share-based compensation plans consist primarily 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 our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. In March 2018, we granted 12.1 million RSUs and 41.0 million stock options related to our annual management awards. The weighted-average fair values associated with these grants were $35.94 per RSU and $7.15 per stock option. Recognized Share-Based Compensation Expense
