STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE I: STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

At September 27, 2024, we had stock options and other share-based compensation awards outstanding under three shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans, including our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders on April 19, 2024, as well as under other existing employee equity incentive plans assumed by L3Harris (collectively, the “L3Harris SIPs”). Total share-based compensation expense was $23 million and $76 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 27, 2024, respectively, and $22 million and $67 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2023, respectively.

Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per share or unit during the three quarters ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023 were as follows:
