Equity [Abstract] |
COMMON EQUITY | COMMON EQUITY Stock-Based Compensation During the first quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors awarded the following stock-based compensation awards to our directors, officers, and certain other key employees:
Award Type |  | Number of Awards
Stock options (1) |  | 476,418 |
Restricted shares (2) |  | 73,571 |
Performance units |  | 148,036 |
(1) | Stock options awarded had a weighted-average exercise price of $68.18 and a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.60 per option.
(2) | Restricted shares awarded had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $68.18 per share.
Restrictions Our ability as a holding company to pay common stock dividends primarily depends on the availability of funds received from our utility subsidiaries, We Power, and ATC Holding. Various financing arrangements and regulatory requirements impose certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances. All of our utility subsidiaries, with the exception of UMERC and MGU, are prohibited from loaning funds to us, either directly or indirectly. See Note 10, Common Equity, in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on these and other restrictions. We do not believe that these restrictions will materially affect our operations or limit any dividend payments in the foreseeable future. Common Stock Dividends On July 18, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share, payable on September 1, 2019, to shareholders of record on August 14, 2019.
