Equity-Based Compensation |
12. | EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION:
Stock Incentive Plans On May 19, 2011, Quanta’s stockholders approved the 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan). The 2011 Plan provides for the award of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, stock bonus awards, performance compensation awards (including performance units and cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The purpose of the 2011 Plan is to provide participants with additional performance incentives by increasing their proprietary interest in Quanta. Employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors of Quanta or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan, as are prospective employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors of Quanta who have agreed to serve Quanta in those capacities. An aggregate of 11,750,000 shares of Quanta common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2011 Plan. Additionally, pursuant to the Quanta Services, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan), which was adopted on May 24, 2007, Quanta may award restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to eligible employees, directors, and certain consultants and advisors. An aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Plan. Quanta also has a Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the RSU Plan), pursuant to which RSUs may be awarded to certain employees and consultants of Quanta’s Canadian operations. The 2011 Plan, the 2007 Plan and the RSU Plan, together with certain plans assumed by Quanta in acquisitions, are referred to as the Plans. The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Quanta. The Compensation Committee has, subject to applicable regulation and the terms of the Plans, the authority to grant awards under the Plans, to construe and interpret the Plans and to make all other determinations and take any and all actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plans. The Board also delegated to the Equity Grant Committee, a committee of the Board consisting of one or more directors, the authority to grant limited awards to eligible persons who are not executive officers or non-employee directors. Restricted Stock and RSUs to be Settled in Common Stock During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, Quanta granted 1.3 million, 1.4 million and 1.4 million shares of restricted stock and RSUs to be settled in common stock under the Plans with weighted average grant date fair values of $27.64, $35.08 and $29.37 per share, respectively. The grant date fair value for awards of restricted stock and RSUs to be settled in common stock is based on the market value of Quanta common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock and RSU awards to be settled in common stock are subject to forfeiture, restrictions on transfer and certain other conditions until vesting, which generally occurs in equal installments over a two-year or three-year period following the date of grant. During the restriction period, holders of restricted stock are entitled to vote and receive dividends, if applicable, on such shares. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, vesting activity consisted of 1.3 million, 1.1 million and 1.1 million shares of restricted stock and RSUs settled in common stock with an approximate fair value at the time of vesting of $35.9 million, $37.5 million and $30.8 million, respectively. Vesting activity during the year ended December 31, 2013 included compensation cost of approximately $4.3 million associated with the accelerated vesting of restricted stock and RSUs settled in common stock held by the former Executive Chairman of Quanta’s board of directors upon his retirement in May 2013. A summary of the activity for restricted stock and RSUs to be settled in common stock for the year ended December 31, 2015 is as follows (shares in thousands):
|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (Per share) |
Unvested at January 1, 2015 |  |  | 2,433 |  |  | $ | 31.29 |
Granted |  |  | 1,307 |  |  | $ | 27.64 |
Vested |  |  | (1,266 | ) |  | $ | 28.37 |
Forfeited |  |  | (97 | ) |  | $ | 31.13 |
Unvested at December 31, 2015 |  |  | 2,377 |  |  | $ | 30.36 |
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, Quanta recognized $33.3 million, $35.0 million and $34.4 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock and RSUs to be settled in common stock. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $31.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock and RSUs to be settled in common stock granted to both employees and non-employees. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.45 years. Performance Units to be Settled in Common Stock Performance units awarded pursuant to the 2011 Plan provide for the issuance of shares of common stock upon vesting. These performance units cliff-vest at the end of a three-year performance period based on achievement of three-year company financial performance targets and strategic initiatives established by the Compensation Committee. The final amount of earned and vested performance units can range from 0% to 200% of the initial amount awarded based on the level of performance, as determined by the Compensation Committee. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, Quanta granted 0.2 million and 0.1 million of performance units to be settled in common stock under the 2011 Plan with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.16 and $35.20 per share. No performance units were granted during the year ended December 31, 2013. The grant date fair value for awards of performance units to be settled in common stock is based on the market value of Quanta common stock on the date of grant applied to the total number of shares that Quanta anticipates will fully vest. This fair value is expensed ratably over the vesting term and is adjusted for fair value changes so that the expense recognized for each award is equivalent to the fair value of the final number of earned and vested performance units. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, Quanta recognized $3.6 million and $2.4 million in compensation expense associated with performance units to be settled in common stock. No performance units vested, and no shares of common stock were issued in connection with performance units, during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as applicable performance periods had not yet concluded. RSUs to be Settled in Cash Certain RSUs granted by Quanta under the Plans are settled solely in cash. These cash-settled RSUs are intended to provide plan participants with cash performance incentives that are substantially equivalent to the risks and rewards of equity ownership in Quanta, typically vest in equal installments over a two-year or three-year period following the date of grant, and are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, primarily termination of service. Additionally, subject to certain restrictions, Quanta’s non-employee directors may elect to cash settle a portion of their RSU awards, which generally vest upon conclusion of the director service year. For all RSUs settled in cash, the holders receive for each vested RSU an amount in cash equal to the fair market value on the settlement date of one share of Quanta common stock, as specified in the applicable award agreement. Compensation expense related to RSUs to be settled in cash was $4.0 million, $3.9 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Such expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. RSUs that are anticipated to be settled in cash are not included in the calculation of earnings per share, and the estimated earned value of such RSUs is classified as a liability. Quanta paid $4.2 million, $3.1 million and $1.8 million to settle liabilities related to cash-settled RSUs in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accrued liabilities for the estimated earned value of outstanding RSUs to be settled in cash were $2.7 million and $2.9 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
