During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:

Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Assumptions for NQOs

The fair value of each NQO grant was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial lattice pricing model that incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following table details the weighted average assumptions used to measure fair value and the resulting grant date fair value for the first quarter 2015 NQO grants.



Dividend yield	1.1%
Expected volatility	29.4%
Expected life	5.8 years
Risk-free rates	1.7%
Grant date fair value	$11.23
