As part of its stock-based compensation package, International Electronics granted 20 million stock appreciation rights (SARs) to top officers on January 1, 2016. At exercise, holders of the SARs are entitled to receive cash or stock equal in value to the excess of the market price at exercise over the share price at the date of grant. The SARs cannot be exercised until the end of 2019 (vesting date) and expire at the end of 2021. The $1 par common shares have a market price of $50 per share on the grant date. The fair value of the SARs, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $2.0 per SAR at January 1, 2016. The fair value re-estimated at December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, is $3.0, $2.0, $4, $2.2, and $3.00, respectively. All recipients are expected to remain employed through the vesting date.
