ial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets over the expected average remaining service life of the plans' active employee group.Our utility operations also record regulatory adjustments for the difference between net periodic benefit costs for accounting versus ratemaking purposes. Offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities are recorded to the extent net periodic benefit costs are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers, respectively, in future rates. In the absence of rate regulation, regulatory assets or liabilities would not be recorded and net periodic benefit costs would be charged to earnings and OCI on an accrual basis.For defined contribution plans, our contributions are expensed when they occur.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONIncentive stock options (ISO) granted are recorded using the fair value method. Under this method, compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the ISO granted as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or the period to early retirement eligibility, with a corresponding credit to Additional paid-in capital. Balances in Additional paid-in capital are transferred to Share capital when the options are exercised.

Performance stock units (PSU) and certain RSUs are cash-settled awards for which the related liability is remeasured each reporting period. PSUs vest at the completion of a three-year term and RSUs vest one-third annually from the grant date. During the vesting term, compensation expense is recorded based on the number of units outstanding and the current market price of Enbridge's common shares with an offset to Other current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities. The value of the PSUs is also dependent on our performance relative to targets set out under the plan. We also award share-settled RSUs to certain non-executive senior management employees which vest at the completion of a three-year term. Beginning in 2023, share-settled RSUs were also granted to non-executive employees, which vest either one-third annually from the grant date, or following a 12-month period. During the vesting term, compensation expense is recorded based on the number of units granted and the market price of Enbridge's common shares on the day immediately preceding the grant date, with an offset to Additional paid-in capital. There is no associated liability recorded for share-settled awards.COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIESWe expense or capitalize, as appropriate, expenditures
