Repurchase of Equity Securities The following table provides information regarding our purchases of equity securities during the fourth quarter of 2008:
## Table 0 ##
1 Consists of restricted shares of our common stock withheld under the terms of grants under employee stock compensation plans to offset tax withholding obligations that occurred upon vesting and release of restricted shares during each month of the fourth quarter of 2008 (the “Withheld Shares”).2 The average price per month of the Withheld Shares was calculated by dividing the aggregate value of the tax withholding obligations for each month by the aggregate number of shares of our common stock withheld each month.
the final award payout with respect to incentive/performance unit share awards.
Restricted stock/unit awards have various vesting periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months.
There are no financial or performance goals associated with any of our restricted stock/unit awards.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of incentive/ performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards granted in 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $59.25, $73.83 and $67.36 per share, respectively.
We recognize compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting and/or performance periods for each type of program.
Total compensation expense recognized related to incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards during 2008 was approximately $51 million compared with $42 million in 2007 and $45 million in 2006.
A summary of nonvested incentive/performance unit shares and restricted stock/unit share activity follows:
## Table 1 ##
In the chart above, the weighted-average grant-date fair value of incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards is measured by reducing the grant date price by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares and for estimated forfeitures on restricted stock/unit awards.
At December 31, 2008, there was $39 million of unrecognized deferred compensation expense related to nonvested sharebased compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Plans.
This cost is expected to be recognized as expense over a period of no longer than five years.
The total fair value of incentive/performance unit share and restricted stock /unit awards vested during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $41 million, $79 million and $63 million, respectively.
LIABILITY AWARDS In 2008, 2007 and 2006 we granted a performance unit incentive award each year to a senior executive.
The grant is share-denominated with an initial specified target number of 47,000 share units for 2008, 26,400 share units for 2007 and 30,000 share units for 2006.
The potential award is dependent on the achievement of certain performance criteria over a three-year period ending December 31, 2008 for the 2006 grant, December 31, 2009 for the 2007 grant, and December 31, 2010 for the 2008 grant.
Final awarded performance units will be paid only in cash.
Additionally, beginning in 2008, we granted other cashpayable restricted share units to certain executives.
The grants were made primarily as part of an annual bonus incentive deferral plan.
While there are time-based, service-related vesting criteria, there are no market or performance criteria associated with these awards.
Compensation expense recognized related to these awards was recorded in prior periods as part of annual cash bonus criteria.
As of December 31, 2008, there were 91,449 of these cash-payable restricted share units outstanding.
A summary of all nonvested, cash-payable restricted share unit activity follows:
## Table 2 ##
(a) There were no share units vested and received or forfeited during 2008.
Total compensation expense recognized related to liability awards, including market valuation adjustments recorded during 2008 on these awards, resulted in a net reduction to expense of approximately $1.1 million.
The corresponding amounts for 2007 and 2006 were approximately $1 million of net expense recognized in each year.
