The above table of unvested RSU and PSU activity reflects unvested PSUs at 100% of their target vesting amount; however, the number of shares that are ultimately granted can be up to 200% of target, and vesting can vary from 0% to 200% of target, depending on the level of achievement of performance criteria.

The Company grants certain senior-level executives performance stock units that vest based on performance and time-based service conditions, which are referred to herein as performance-based awards.  During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 0.4 million and 0.8 million performance-based awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $64.9 million and $55.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation for these performance-based awards milestones are assessed to be 200% of the grant value. As of June 30, 2025, the Company expects to recognize remaining stock-based compensation expense of $178.3 million over the requisite performance period for all outstanding performance-based awards, which includes up to 200% of grant date fair value based on the achievement of certain targets.

The Company has recognized total performance-based stock compensation of $29.8 million and $48.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which includes a $9.2 million change in estimate related to expectations for certain performance targets that increased from 100% to 200% as of June 30, 2025. The Company has recognized total performance-based stock compensation of $22.1 million and $42.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
