Performance Stock Units

The fair value assigned to performance stock units (“PSUs”) is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for awards with a performance condition, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for awards with a market condition. The vesting period generally ranges for PSUs with a performance condition or market condition over a one year to three year period. Stock-based compensation expense associated with PSUs with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company or individual at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, PSU activity under the Plans was as follows:
