Note 11: Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense related to the Company's stock options, RSUs, stock grant awards and ESPP were recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as follows (in millions):
(1) Recognition of related income tax benefits are the result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017 through a cumulative effect adjustment of $68.1 million recorded as a credit to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. Tax benefit is calculated using the federal statutory rate of 21% during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and 35% for the year ended December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2019, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested RSUs with service, performance and market conditions was $74.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $3.9 million.
The Company received cash of $1.7 million and $26.2 million from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of shares under the ESPP, respectively.
