For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Viad recorded share-based compensation expense of approximately $40,000 through restructuring expense. On January 24, 2014, Viad announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share, or $30.5 million in the aggregate, which was paid on February 14, 2014. In accordance with the mandatory provisions of the 2007 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the 1997 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Human Resources Committee of Viad’s Board of Directors approved equitable adjustments to the outstanding long-term incentive awards of stock options and PUP awards issued pursuant to those plans in order to prevent the special dividend from diluting the rights of participants under those plans. The equitable adjustment to the outstanding stock options reduced the exercise price and increased the number of shares of common stock underlying such options. The equitable adjustment to the PUP awards reflects the effect of the special dividend, but will be paid only if certain performance goals are met at the end of the 3-year performance period. The following table summarizes the activity of the outstanding share-based compensation awards:
