Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Restricted Stock

We issue restricted stock unit awards to key employees under our Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan). We issue time-based awards and performance-based awards under this Plan, both of which are based on a three-year vesting period. The grant date fair value of the time-based awards is equal to the price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the performance-based awards is based on a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation of our common stock as of the grant date. The assumptions used for this valuation include stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We granted 1,413,805 and 1,271,502 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, including 316,112 and 334,082 performance-based restricted stock units during those same periods, respectively. We have shareholder approval under the Plan to issue up to 14,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had 7,550,730 remaining shares available for awards under the Plan.

The unvested restricted stock unit awards are eligible to receive cash dividends or dividend equivalents which are ultimately used to purchase additional shares of stock and are subject to forfeiture if the requisite service period is not completed or the specified performance criteria are not met. These awards are subject to certain accelerated vesting provisions upon retirement, death, disability or in the event of a change in control as defined in the award agreements.
