Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock units and performance-based stock units to employees that are unvested. Performance-based stock units vest upon the achievement of certain pre-established business and financial metrics as well as a subsequent service condition. The business and financial metrics governing the vesting of these performance-based stock units provide thresholds that dictate the number of shares to vest upon each evaluation date, which range from 50% to 150%. If these metrics are achieved, as defined in the individual grant terms, these shares would cliff vest three years from the grant date.

The following is a summary of the activity for unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under the Company’s plans:


	RSUs			PSUs
	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share		Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
