RSUs
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed its annual long-term incentive plan equity awards (the “2026 Annual Grant”) to employees by granting approximately 4 million RSUs under its 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”), with a grant date fair value of $6.74 per share, which is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. These RSUs are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant.
Options
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company granted approximately 9 million options to its executive officers under the 2018 Plan as part of the 2026 Annual Grant. These options are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and have an exercise price of $6.74 per share, which is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, and a contractual term of ten years from the grant date. The weighted-average grant date fair value for the options granted during the period was $2.23 per share.
The Company used a binomial lattice model to determine the grant date fair value for options granted and included the following assumptions:
Expected exercise term
7 years
Expected volatility(1)
41.9%
Expected dividend yield(2)
3.3%
Risk-free interest rate(3)
4.1%
_________________
(1)    Estimated using historical and implied stock price volatility of the Company.
(2)    Calculated by taking the annual dividend run-rate and dividing by the stock price at date of grant.
(3)    Based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
Origin AI Retention Awards
The Company registered on Form S-8 approximately 8 million shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting and settlement of the Origin AI Retention Awards (as discussed in Note 4 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”), including dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”), which are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying awards.
These awards include approximately 3 million service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and approximately 5 million awards subject to both service requirements and performance conditions tied to the completion of certain milestones, and have a grant date fair value of $7.91 per share.
Other
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company modified certain share-based compensation awards and recorded additional share-based compensation expense of $11 million associated with these modifications.
