Share-Based Compensation Plans

NOTE 18. Share-Based Compensation Plans:

The First American Financial Corporation 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”), effective January 22, 2020, permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, PRSUs, performance shares and other stock-based awards. Eligible participants, which include the Company’s directors and officers, as well as other employees, may elect to defer the distribution of their RSUs to a future date beyond the scheduled vesting date. At December 31, 2022, 1.6 million shares of common stock remain available to be issued by the Company, subject to certain annual limits based on the type of award granted. The Company settles its equity awards with authorized but unissued shares of its common stock. The Incentive Compensation Plan terminates 10 years from its effective date unless canceled earlier by the Company’s board of directors.

The First American Financial Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) allows eligible employees the option to purchase common stock of the Company at 85% of the lower of the closing price on either the first or last day of each quarterly offering period. There were 0.6 million shares issued in connection with this plan for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors amended the First American Financial Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Amended ESPP”), effective July 1, 2022. The Amended ESPP increases the maximum number of shares of Company common stock available for sale from 5 million to 14 million. In addition, the Amended ESPP extends the term of the plan from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2032. At December 31, 2022, there were 9.0 million shares reserved for future issuances.
