The criteria for payment of the 2013 performance awards is based primarily on the Company’s average operating return on average equity (“ROE”) over a three-year period. If the Company’s ROE is below 10.0%, no award is earned. If the Company’s ROE is at or above 11.5%, the award maximum is earned. Awards are paid in shares of the Company’s common stock.   Restricted stock units are awarded to participants and include certain restrictions relating to vesting periods. The Company issued 141,000 restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These awards had a total fair value at grant date of $4.4 million. Approximately half of these restricted stock units vest in 2016, and the remainder vest in 2017. These awards have been recorded as equity-classified awards for the period ended June 30, 2013.   Stock appreciation right (“SARs”) have historically been granted to certain officers of the Company to provide long-term incentive compensation based solely on the performance of the Company’s common stock. The SARs are exercisable either five years after the date of grant or in three or four equal annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant (earlier upon the death, disability, or retirement of the officer, or in certain circumstances, of a change in control of the Company) and expire after ten years or upon termination of employment. The SARs activity as well as weighted-average base price is as follows:   <table style="text-align:left;WIDTH: 60%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse; MARGIN-LEFT: 1.5in;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="60%"> <tr style="padding:0;"> <td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in;
