Share-Based Compensation
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Delphi Technologies PLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PLC LTIP”) allows for the grant of share-based awards (up to 7,500,000 ordinary shares) for long-term compensation to the employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. The Company had no share-based compensation plans prior to the Separation; however certain of our employees participated in the Former Parent’s share-based compensation arrangement, the Delphi Automotive PLC Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 23, 2015 (the “Former Parent Plan”). Grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives and non-employee directors were made under the Former Parent Plan in each year from 2012 to 2017. As discussed further below, outstanding awards under the Former Parent Plan were adjusted and converted into Delphi Technologies equity awards.
Share-based compensation expense within the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Separation was allocated to Delphi Technologies based on the awards and terms previously granted to Delphi Technologies employees while part of the Former Parent, and includes the cost of Delphi Technologies employees who participated in the Former Parent’s Plan, as well as an allocated portion of the cost of the Former Parent’s corporate employee awards.
In connection with the Separation, outstanding equity awards to executives and non-employee directors under the Former Parent Plan were adjusted and converted into Delphi Technologies equity awards using a formula designed to maintain the economic value of the awards immediately before and after the Separation. Accordingly, the number of RSUs underlying each unvested award outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of 2.02, which resulted in no increase in the intrinsic value of awards outstanding. The RSUs continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting period. These adjustments to the Company’s share-based compensation awards did not result in additional compensation expense.
Board of Director Awards
On December 31, 2017, Delphi Technologies granted 7,506 RSUs to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors who were not members of the Former Parent’s Board of Directors at a grant date fair value of approximately $0.4 million. The grant date fair value was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on December 29, 2017. The awards are time-based vesting RSUs. The RSUs vested on April 25, 2018, and 20,806 ordinary shares, which included shares issued in connection with dividend equivalents, were issued to members of the Board of Directors at a fair value of approximately $1 million. In addition, 1,679 ordinary shares were withheld to cover the minimum U.K. withholding taxes.

On April 26, 2018, Delphi Technologies granted 34,756 RSUs to the Board of Directors at a grant date fair value of approximately $2 million. The grant date fair value was determined based on the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on April 26, 2018. The RSUs will vest on April 24, 2019, the day before the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.

In addition, on December 31, 2017, Delphi Technologies granted 119,921 RSUs to the employee and non-employee members of the Board of Directors at a grant date fair value of approximately $7 million.  The awards include a time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs.  The time-based RSUs vest at various points through February 2021.  The performance-based RSUs will be measured based on relative total shareholder return (as described further below) and vest in December 2020.  The grant date fair value was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on December 31, 2017 and a contemporaneous valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist with respect to the relative total shareholder return awards.
Executive Awards
The executive awards include a time-based vesting portion and a performance-based vesting portion, as well as continuity awards in certain years. The time-based RSUs, which make up 25% of the awards for the Company’s officers and 50% for other executives, vest ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based RSUs, which make up 75% of the awards for the Company’s officers and 50% for other executives, vest at the completion of a three-year performance period if certain targets are met. Each executive will receive between 0% and 200% of his or her target performance-based award based on the Company’s performance against established company-wide performance metrics, which are:

Average return on net assets is measured by the Company’s tax-affected operating income divided by average net working capital plus average net property, plant and equipment for each calendar year during the respective performance period.
(2)
Cumulative earnings per share is measured by net income attributable to Delphi Technologies divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the respective three-year performance period.
(3)
Relative total shareholder return is measured by comparing the average closing price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares for the defined period at the end of the performance period to the average closing price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares for the defined period at the beginning of the performance period, including dividends, and assessed against a comparable measure of competitor and peer group companies.

Any new executives hired after the annual executive RSU grant date may be eligible to participate in the PLC LTIP. Any off cycle grants made for new hires are valued at their grant date fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of such grant. The Company has competitive and market-appropriate ownership requirements. All of the RSUs granted under the PLC LTIP are eligible to receive dividend equivalents for any dividend paid from the grant date through the vesting date.
The grant date fair value of the RSUs is determined based on the target number of awards issued, the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of the grant of the award, including an estimate for forfeitures, and a contemporaneous valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist with respect to the relative total shareholder return awards.
A summary of activity, including award grants, vesting and forfeitures for Delphi Technologies employees is provided below. All prior period award amounts disclosed within the following table were converted in accordance with the factor related to the conversion of the awards following the Separation as described above.

Share-based compensation expense recorded within the consolidated statement of operations, which for periods prior to the Separation includes the cost of Delphi Technologies employees who participated in the Former Parent’s Plan as well as an allocated portion of the cost of the Former Parent’s senior management awards, was $5 million ($5 million, net of tax) and $10 million ($10 million, net of tax) based on the Company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense was $3 million ($3 million, net of tax) and $8 million ($7 million, net of tax) based on the company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
The Company will continue to recognize compensation expense, based on the grant date fair value of the awards applied to the Company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets, over the requisite vesting periods of the awards. Based on the grant date fair value of the awards and the Company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets as of June 30, 2018, unrecognized compensation expense on a pretax basis of approximately $37 million is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.
