[1] The unrecognized compensation expense calculated under the fair value method for shares expected to vest as of May 31, 2026 was $1.8 billion and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.30 years. Approximately 1 million shares outstanding as of May 31, 2026 were not expected to vest.
[2] The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated based on the gross difference between our closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2026 of $225.78 and the exercise prices for all “in-the-money” options outstanding, excluding tax effects.
