Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] |
Share-Based Transactions | (9) Share-Based Transactions The Company has outstanding equity awards under its Omnibus Incentive Plan ("OIP"). The OIP provides for the issuance of equity awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, RSUs, unrestricted stock, as well as cash-based awards. In addition to time-based vesting requirements, awards granted under the OIP also may be subject to specified performance criteria. Since 2010, the Company has issued equity awards to our management (officers and other key employees), non-employee directors, and sales force leaders under the OIP. For more information on equity awards granted under the OIP, see Note 14 (Share-Based Transactions) to our consolidated financial statements within our 2015 Annual Report. In connection with our granting of equity awards to our management and members of the Board of Directors, we recognize expense over the requisite service period of the equity award. Additionally, to the extent that equity awards to members of our sales force are an incremental direct cost of successful acquisitions of life insurance policies that result directly from and are essential to the policy acquisition(s) and would not have been incurred had the policy acquisition(s) not occurred, we defer and amortize the fair value of these awards in the same manner as other deferred policy acquisition costs. The impacts of equity awards granted are as follows:

On February 24, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted the following equity awards to employees in connection with the annual approval of management incentive compensation:
1. | 204,558 RSUs awarded to management with a measurement-date fair value of $41.88 per unit that have time-based vesting requirements with equal and annual graded vesting over approximately three years subsequent to the grant date.
2. | 89,540 stock options awarded to the four members of our executive management team (the “executive team”) with a measurement-date fair value of $8.21 per option that have time-based vesting requirements with equal and annual graded vesting over approximately three years subsequent to the grant date.
3. | 18,385 PSUs awarded under the OIP to the executive team with a measurement-date fair value of $41.88 per unit. The PSUs will be earned on March 1, 2019 contingent upon the Company achieving a target annual average three-year return on adjusted equity (“ROAE”) for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018. The actual number of PSUs that will vest will vary based on the actual ROAE relative to the target ROAE and can range from zero PSUs to 27,577.
All awards granted to employees on February 24, 2016 provide for such awards to vest upon voluntary termination of employment by any employee who is “retirement eligible” as of his or her termination date. In order to be retirement eligible, an employee must be at least 55 years old and his or her age plus years of service with the Company must equal at least 75. The number of PSUs that will ultimately vest for a retirement-eligible employee is equal to the amount calculated using the Company’s actual cumulative three-year ROAE ending on December 31, 2018, even if that employee retires prior to the completion of the three year performance period.
