STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Incentive Plan
The Company maintains an equity-based incentive plan (the "Incentive Plan") under which it grants RSUs, MSUs, and PSUs to employees and executive officers.
Performance Share Units
PSUs are granted to certain executive officers under the Incentive Plan and are subject to satisfaction of a service condition and the achievement of market or performance conditions during a defined measurement period. In April 2025, the Company granted PSUs that are eligible to vest in three equal annual installments through March 2028, subject to continued service and the achievement of market and performance conditions, with the number of shares earned ranging from 0% to 300% of target based on the achievement of the applicable conditions during each measurement period.
In May 2026, the Company granted additional PSUs eligible to cliff vest on March 15, 2029, subject to continued service and the achievement of market and performance conditions, including RTSR, energized megawatt growth, and new customer acquisition, over the 2026 through 2028 calendar years. The number of shares earned ranges from 0% to 200% of target, and up to 250% of target for the Chief Executive Officer. The grant date fair value of the tranche subject to the RTSR market condition was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following assumptions:
