Stock Award Activity

Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying outstanding stock awards totaled 489 million as of September 30, 2015, and 483 million as of December 31, 2014. These totals include all vested and unvested stock awards outstanding, including those awards we estimate will be forfeited. The compensation expense for stock options, the total intrinsic value for stock options outstanding, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options, and the related tax benefits were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The following table summarizes our restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in millions):

Units forfeited	(2.2	)	312

Scheduled vesting for outstanding restricted stock units as of September 30, 2015, is as follows (in millions):

As of September 30, 2015, there was $3.1 billion of net unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements. This compensation is recognized on an accelerated basis with approximately half of the compensation expected to be expensed in the next twelve months, and has a weighted average recognition period of 1.1 years.
