Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP’s) The LTIP was introduced in 2010 and is a broad-based long-term retention program to attract, retain and motivate talented employees as well as align stockholder and employee interests. The LTIP provides share-based compensation (“awards”) to both our eligible employees and non-employee directors. Awards that may be granted include performance shares, stock options and restricted shares. The number of shares authorized and available for awards at December 31, 2016 was 3.0 million. A charge of $331 million was recorded in 2016 for the LTIP (2015: $206 million; 2014: $123 million). A summary of the activity for our LTIP’s during 2016 is presented below. Stock options The options have a strike price equal to the closing share price on the grant date. The fair value of the options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes formula, using the following assumptions:
| • |  | an expected life varying from 5.76 to 6.25 years, calculated in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff bulletin No. 110 for plain vanilla options using the simplified method, since our equity shares have been publicly traded for only a limited period of time and we do not have sufficient historical exercise data;
| • |  | a risk-free interest rate varying from 0.8% to 2.8% (2015: 0.8% to 2.8%; 2014: 0.8% to 2.8%);
| • |  | no expected dividend payments; and
| • |  | a volatility of 40-50% based on the volatility of a set of peer companies. Peer company data has been used given the short period of time our shares have been publicly traded.
Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
