Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation
The 2019 Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 15,885,000 RSUs. The number of RSUs that may be granted under this Plan is subject to adjustments for changes in capital structure. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon vesting and settlement of RSUs. Shares for vested RSUs are generally delivered to participants annually, net of shares withheld for taxes.
Summary of Restricted Stock Unit Activity
At the end of 2026, 5,280,000 shares were available to be granted as RSUs, and the following awards were outstanding:
•1,877,000 time-based RSUs, which vest upon continued employment or service over specified periods of time; and
•123,000 performance-based RSUs, of which 67,000 were granted to executive officers subject to the determination of the attainment of performance targets for 2026, which occurred in September 2026. At that time, a portion vested as a result of executive officers who met accelerated vesting provisions. The remaining awards vest upon continued employment over specified periods of time. Please refer to Note 1 for accelerated vesting requirements.
