2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Effective August 30, 2013, certain of our employees participate in the Murphy USA 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan which was subsequently amended and restated effective as of February 8, 2017 (the “MUSA 2013 Plan”). The MUSA 2013 Plan authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“the Committee”) to grant non-qualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards), cash awards, and performance awards to our employees. No more than 5.5 million shares of MUSA common stock may be delivered under the MUSA 2013 Plan and no more than 1 million shares of
common stock may be awarded to any one employee, subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization. The maximum cash amount payable pursuant to any “performance-based” award to any participant in any calendar year is $5.0 million.
 
STOCK OPTIONS – The Committee fixes the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value (FMV) on the date of the grant and fixes the option term at no more than 7 years from such date. In February 2020, the Committee granted nonqualified stock options to certain employees of the Company. The Black-Scholes valuation for these awards was $28.28 per option.

Assumptions used to value awards:
Dividend yield— %
Expected volatility28.1 %
Risk-free interest rate1.5 %
Expected life (years)4.7

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – The Committee has granted time based restricted stock units (RSUs) as part of the compensation plan for its executives and certain other employees since its inception. The awards granted in the current year were under the MUSA 2013 Plan, are valued at the grant date fair value, and vest over 3 years.

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – In February 2020, the Committee awarded performance-based restricted stock units (performance units) to certain employees.  Half of the performance units vest based on a 3-year return on average capital employed (ROACE) calculation and the other half vest based on a 3-year total shareholder return (TSR) calculation that compares MUSA to a group of 18 peer companies.  The portion of the awards that vest based on TSR qualify as a market condition and must be valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model. For the TSR portion of the awards, the fair value was determined to be $142.07 per unit.  For the ROACE portion of the awards, the valuation will be based on the grant date fair value of $106.72 per unit and the number of awards will be periodically assessed to determine the probability of vesting.
