Share-based Payments Share-based Payments
We account for share-based payments through the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and restricted shares (all part of our equity incentive plan), and share units representing certain deferrals into our director deferred compensation plan or our supplemental deferred savings plan.
The following table presents share-based payment expense and new shares issued upon exercise of stock options for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 (in millions, except shares):
