The fair value of restricted stock units is determined by the grant-date closing price of Wesco’s common stock. The fair value of performance-based awards with performance conditions is determined by a Monte Carlo simulation as well as the grant-date closing price of Wesco’s common stock. The forfeiture assumption is based on Wesco’s historical participant behavior that is reviewed on at least an annual basis.

The 2025 performance-based awards also include a relative Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”) modifier that impacts the number of shares earned based on the Company's TSR over the performance period in relation to the TSR of the companies comprising the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
