Other Share-based Compensation Plans | The following table presents phantom unit award activity for the period indicated:
|  | Number of Units |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit (1) |
Phantom unit awards at January 1, 2018 |  |  | 9,289,501 |  |  | $ | 27.65 |
Granted (2) |  |  | 4,988,081 |  |  | $ | 26.82 |
Vested |  |  | (3,437,668 | ) |  | $ | 28.59 |
Forfeited |  |  | (434,164 | ) |  | $ | 26.89 |
Phantom unit awards at September 30, 2018 |  |  | 10,405,750 |  |  | $ | 26.97 |
(1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued. (2) The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2018 was $133.8 million based on a grant date market price of our common units ranging from $25.40 to $29.22 per unit. An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.2% was applied to these awards. |
The following table summarizes key elements of each Employee Partnership at September 30, 2018:
Employee Partnership |  | Enterprise Common Units contributed to Employee Partnership by EPCO Holdings |  | Class A Capital Base (1) |  | Class A Preference Return (2) |  | Expected Vesting/ Liquidation Date | Estimated Grant Date Fair Value of Profits Interest Awards (3) | Unrecognized Compensation Cost (4)
PubCo I |  |  | 2,723,052 |  | $63.7 million |  | $ | 0.39 |  | Feb. 2020 | $13.0 million | $5.3 million
PubCo II |  |  | 2,834,198 |  | $66.3 million |  | $ | 0.39 |  | Feb. 2021 | $14.9 million | $8.1 million
PubCo III |  |  | 105,000 |  | $2.5 million |  | $ | 0.39 |  | Apr. 2020 | $0.5 million | $0.2 million
PrivCo I |  |  | 1,111,438 |  | $26.0 million |  | $ | 0.39 |  | Feb. 2021 | $5.8 million | $0.6 million
(1) Represents fair market value of the Enterprise common units contributed to each Employee Partnership at the applicable contribution date. (2) Each quarter, the Class A limited partner in each Employee Partnership is paid a cash distribution equal to the product of (i) the number of common units owned by the Employee Partnership and (ii) the Class A Preference Return of $0.39 per unit (subject to equitable adjustment in order to reflect any equity split, equity distribution or dividend, reverse split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting such common units). To the extent that the Employee Partnership has cash remaining after making this quarterly payment to the Class A limited partner, the residual cash is distributed to the Class B limited partners on a quarterly basis. (3) Represents the total grant date fair value of the profits interest awards irrespective of how such costs will be allocated between us and EPCO and its privately held affiliates. (4) Represents our expected share of the unrecognized compensation cost at September 30, 2018. We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for PubCo I, PubCo II, PubCo III and PrivCo I over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years, 2.4 years, 1.5 years and 2.4 years, respectively.
The following table summarizes the assumptions we used in applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model to derive that portion of the estimated grant date fair value of the profits interest awards for each Employee Partnership:
| Expected | Risk-Free | Expected | Expected Unit
Employee | Life | Interest | Distribution | Price
Partnership | of Award | Rate | Yield | Volatility
PubCo I | 4.0 years | 0.9% to 2.7% | 5.9% to 7.0% | 19% to 40%
PubCo II | 5.0 years | 1.1% to 2.8% | 5.9% to 7.0% | 24% to 40%
PubCo III | 4.0 years | 1.0% to 2.2% | 6.1% to 6.8% | 27% to 40%
PrivCo I | 5.0 years | 1.2% to 1.6% | 6.1% to 6.7% | 28% to 40%
