Awards generally vest over a one two three Performance-based stock units During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we granted 70,224 and 164,843 PRSUs, respectively, to executive officers pursuant to the 2022 Plan and 2020 Plan. The PRSUs may be earned based on our total shareholder return ("TSR") compared to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index or, for awards granted on or after March 3, 2023, the NASDAQ Composite Index (the “Index”) over a three-year performance period. For the PRSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the three-year performance period commenced on January 1, 2023, and will end on December 31, 2025, and for the PRSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three-year performance commenced on January 1, 2022 and will end on December 31, 2024, using the average daily closing price over a 30-day lookback in each case. The number of awards earned could range from 0% to 200% of the target number of units granted. Additionally, for awards granted on or after March 3, 2023, the number of PRSUs that may vest pursuant to an award agreement shall not exceed 100% of the target number of PRSUs subject to such award if our absolute total shareholder return is negative during the performance period for such award. The fair values of PRSUs are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The determination of fair value of the PRSUs is based on our stock price and a number of assumptions including the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility at the date of grant was based on the historical volatilities of our stock and the companies included in the Index over the performance period. The Monte Carlo model is based on random projections of stock-price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. The key assumptions used in valuing these market-based awards are as follows: Three Months Ended (unaudited) March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Number of simulations 100,000 100,000 Expected volatility 32.27% 37.81% Expected life in years 2.84 years 2.95 years Risk-free interest rate 4.45% 1.33% Dividend yield 2.45% 2.52% The weighted average grant date fair value of the market-based awards, as determined by the Monte Carlo valuation model, was $84.45 per share and $59.65 per share in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Employee stock purchase plan Our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") permits substantially all domestic employees and employees of designated subsidiaries to acquire our common stock at a purchase price of 85% of the lower of the market price at the beginning or the end of the purchase period. The plan has quarterly purchase periods generally beginning on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year. Employees may designate up to 15% of their compensation for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Pursuant to the terms of our merger agreement with Emerson, our ESPP program will be suspended indefinitely after the May 1, 2023 purchase. Refer to Note 18 - Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated financials for additional information on the proposed transaction. On May 10, 2022, our stockholders approved an additional 3,000,000 shares for issuance under our ESPP. At March 31, 2023, we had 3,797,114 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP. We issued 275,976 shares under this plan in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the weighted average purchase price of the shares issued was $32.45 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not make any changes in accounting principles or methods of estimates with respect to our ESPP. Authorized Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan We have 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. On January 21, 2004, our Board of Directors designated 750,000 of these shares as Series A Participating Preferred Stock in conjunction with the adoption of a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement which expired on May 10, 2014. There were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at March 31, 2023. On January 13, 2023, our Board of Directors designated 2,000,000 of these shares as Series B Participating Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) in conjunction with its adoption of a stockholder rights plan, as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2023. On April 12, 2023, in connection with entering into the merger agreement with Emerson, the stockholder rights plan was modified so that the rights thereunder will not be exercisable by virtue of the merger agreement or any agreement or transactions contemplated thereby, as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 12, 2023. Stock repurchases and retirements On April 21, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors (the “2019 Program”). The Board has amended the 2019 Program several times over the years to increase the number of shares that may be purchased under the program. On October 23, 2019, our Board amended the 2019 Program to increase the number of shares that may be repurchased by 3,000,000 shares. On January 19, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan for up to $250 million of our common stock, effective immediately (the "2022 Program"). This new repurchase program is in addition to the existing 2019 Program. Under the 2022 Program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the other terms of the repurchase will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, economic and market conditions, and other investment opportunities. The 2022 Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. |
