Stockholders' Equity | 9. Stockholders’ Equity Equity Incentive Awards As of October 29, 2021, we have certain equity incentive awards outstanding, which include stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), including time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs). Also outstanding are purchase rights under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Stock Options Less than 1 million options were outstanding as of October 29, 2021 and April 30, 2021. Information related to our stock options is summarized below (in millions):

Fair value of options vested |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 1 |
Restricted Stock Units In the six months ended October 29, 2021, we granted PBRSUs to certain of our executives. Each PBRSUs has performance-based vesting criteria, in addition to the service-based vesting criteria, such that the PBRSUs cliff-vest at the end of an approximate one, two or three year performance period, which began on the date specified in the grant agreements and typically ends on the last day of the first, second or third fiscal year, respectively, following the grant date. The number of shares of common stock that will be issued to settle most of these PBRSUs at the end of the performance and service period will range from 0% to 200% of a target number of shares originally granted. For most of the PBRSUs granted in the six months ended October 29, 2021, the number of shares issued will depend upon our Total Stockholder Return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of a specified group of benchmark peer companies (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) calculated as of the end of the performance period. The fair values of these TSR performance-based awards were fixed at grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The aggregate grant date fair value of all PBRSUs granted in the current year was $43 million, which is being recognized to compensation expense over the remaining performance / service periods. The following table summarizes information related to our RSUs, including PBRSUs, (in millions, except fair value):
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Outstanding as of April 30, 2021 |  |  | 9 |  |  | $ | 47.75 |
Granted |  |  | 4 |  |  | $ | 78.29 |
Vested |  |  | (2 | ) |  | $ | 47.73 |
Forfeited |  |  | (1 | ) |  | $ | 56.65 |
Outstanding as of October 29, 2021 |  |  | 10 |  |  | $ | 60.61 |
We primarily use the net share settlement approach upon vesting, where a portion of the shares are withheld as settlement of employee withholding taxes, which decreases the shares issued to the employee by a corresponding value. The number and value of the shares netted for employee taxes are summarized in the table below (in millions):
