Share Based Compensation

NOTE 9. Share-based Compensation

During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, Susquehanna's Board of Directors approved a Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”) grant. The PSU grant provides key executives with long-term incentives based on Susquehanna's performance relative to peers, service, and market conditions, as a motivation for future performance and as a retention tool for continued employment. The PSU's are based on a plan which is a multi-year performance plan, with stock-based incentive award opportunities if certain performance targets are met. At March 31, 2014, approximately 434 shares have been allocated for this grant.
