NOTE 9. EQUITY

​

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

​

We grant long-term equity incentive awards annually to officers and key employees in the form of service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). RSUs vest over an approximately three-year period ending December 1 and settle into an equivalent number of shares of our common stock. PSUs vest based on continued service and the achievement of a return on assets metric over a three-year performance period ending December 31 and settle into shares of our common stock on a sliding scale up to a maximum of 200% of the number of PSUs granted.

​

The following summarizes the activity of our unvested RSUs and PSUs (in thousands, except per unit amounts):
