Assumptions Used To Estimate the Black-Scholes Fair Value of Performance Stock Units Granted
The fair value of the PSUs granted in fiscal 2022 and 2021, for which performance during the three-year period will be based on a relative three-year goal metric relative to a peer group as indicated above, was estimated on the date of the grant using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.

Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
(2)
The expected life of stock options was estimated based on historical experience.
(3)
Expected volatility was based on the average of historical and implied volatility. The historical volatility was determined by observing actual prices of the Company’s stock over a period commensurate with the expected life of the awards. The implied volatility represented the implied volatility of the Company’s call options, which were actively traded on multiple exchanges, had remaining maturities in excess of twelve months, had market prices close to the exercise prices of the employee stock options and were measured on the stock option grant date.
(4)
Based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term was consistent with the expected life of the stock options.
(5)
Expected dividend yield was estimated based on anticipated dividend payouts.
