Our employees and our non-employee directors are eligible for awards under the Morningstar Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for a variety of equity-based awards, including stock options, RSUs, MSUs, PSUs, and restricted stock.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense included in each of our operating expense categories:
