Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements

Restricted Stock Units

On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives 233,582 restricted stock units (RSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $428.22 per unit. The RSUs granted under this program will vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives 214,651 performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $466.04 per unit. Compensation expense for the award is recognized over the three-year performance period based upon the grant date fair value estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The model used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 23.88% based upon historical stock volatility, a risk-free interest rate of 2.46%, and no expected dividend yield because the units earn dividend equivalents.

Performance Awards

On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives performance awards as part of our long-term incentive program with a payout based on the achievement of financial goals for the three-year period ending December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2019, the minimum payout amount is $0 and the maximum amount we could be required to pay out is $398.
