Restricted Stock—During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted 622,758 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors of the Company. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $21.63 to $22.08 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock awards. Certain of the restricted stock granted to employees vests over three years based on continued service and the remaining restricted stock granted to employees vests over four years based on continued service. The restricted stock granted to the directors vests over one year based on continued service. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends and to vote their respective shares, however the sale and transfer of the restricted shares is prohibited during the restriction period.

The Company receives an income tax deduction upon vesting of certain of the restricted stock awards. The total fair value of shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $9,938. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $3,693 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to these vested shares.

The Company recorded compensation expense of $5,397 and $3,074 related to restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $22,771 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately three years.

Restricted Stock Units—During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted restricted stock units representing 152,955 hypothetical shares of common stock to employees of the Company. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during the three fiscal year period ending December 31, 2014 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. Grantees are eligible to receive a ratable portion of the common stock issuable if the IRR is within the targets previously noted. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through March 2015, which is the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards vest.

Below is a table summarizing the potential number of shares that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012 at each of the three target levels of financial performance (excluding forfeiture assumptions):

 

                 
    Number of        
    Shares     Value at  
    Vesting     Grant  

at IRR of at least 8.5%

     50,981     $ 1,103  

at IRR of at least 10.5%

     101,974     $ 2,206  

at IRR of at least 12.5%

     152,955     $ 3,308  

Due to the fact that the IRR for the three year performance period could not be determined at the time of grant, the Company estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the mid-point IRR level. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the

date of grant, which was $21.63 per share. The Company assumed a forfeiture rate of 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the three-year performance period, the Company will reassess the number of units that will vest for the grant and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period.

There were no forfeitures of restricted stock unit awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded compensation expense of $1,471 and $1,498 related to restricted stock unit awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 196,051 restricted stock unit awards vested. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit was converted into one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company paid approximately $600 in dividends on the vested restricted stock units, which represented dividends that had accumulated on the awards since they were granted in 2008. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $4,400. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1,848 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to these vested awards.

As of June 30, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $5,550. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 994,674 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 11,608 units, assuming the maximum IRR of at least 12.5% is achieved for all of the grants.
