Stock-Based Compensation
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On December 31, 2014, performance share units (“PSUs”) granted in 2012 became fully vested. The EPS threshold associated with these awards was achieved at the maximum level, and 200% of the target shares were earned. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, various restricted stock awards granted in 2012 became fully vested. These vested performance share units and restricted stock awards were net share settled. In connection with the issuance of the shares underlying the PSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and with the vesting of restricted stock, the Company transferred 0.2 million shares into Treasury stock, based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the vesting date, to satisfy the employees’ minimum statutory withholding obligation for applicable income and other employment taxes. The Company then remitted the equivalent cash value to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and are reflected as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
