The Plan provides for the grant of a variety of forms of awards to acquire up to an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board has approved an initial round of awards to the Company's employees in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") to acquire up to 2.0 million shares of common stock. Such awards will entitle the grantees to receive shares of common stock, at no cost, upon the satisfaction of 2013, 2014 and 2015 performance-based vesting conditions and will become exercisable on a staggered basis over a period of four years from grant. Performance criteria are to be set by the Board of Directors for each of 2013, 2014 and 2015. The grant date for each sub tranche of the awards will be the date when performance criteria for the relevant year are set and communicated to employees.         Exercise is subject to the condition that the closing price of the Company's common stock has exceeded $12.00 per share on at least ten trading days prior to exercise. As of June 30, 2013, this condition had been met. As a condition to the receipt of an award under the Plan, any employee that held an outstanding option award under the Company's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan was required to forfeit the unvested portion of such award; the vested portion of outstanding option awards remained unaffected by the new program.         The Company's Board of Directors approved performance criteria for the 2013 sub-tranche in respect of 676,690 RSUs with a weighted average per unit grant date fair value of $10.55. In the three-and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $1.2 million of expense attributable to these RSUs. The Company estimates that the total compensation expense related to awards approved under the Plan not yet recognized as of June 30, 2013 approximates $20 million, which is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of 3.8 years. The Company expects to settle employee RSU exercises out of treasury stock.</div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for compensation-related costs for equity-based compensation, which may include disclosure of policies, compensation plan details, allocation of equity compensation, incentive distributions, equity-based arrangements to obtain goods and services, deferred compensation arrangements, employee stock ownership plan details and employee stock purchase plan details.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 718 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6415400&loc=d3e5047-113901 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 718 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 2 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6415400&loc=d3e5070-113901 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 505 -SubTopic 50 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6406099&loc=d3e25284-112666 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 123R -Paragraph 64, 65, A240 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
