the fair value of shares vested for performance-based rsus during the years ended december 31 , 2009 and 2008 was $ 2 million and $ 3 million , respectively . there were no vestings that occurred during the year ended december 31 , 2007 . fair value for the company 2019s performance-based rsus was estimated at the grant date using a monte carlo simulation approach . monte carlo simulation was utilized to randomly generate future stock returns for the company and each company in the defined peer group for each grant based on company-specific dividend yields , volatilities and stock return correlations . these returns were used to calculate future performance-based rsu vesting percentages and the simulated values of the vested performance-based rsus were then discounted to present value using a risk-free rate , yielding the expected value of these performance-based rsus . %%transmsg*** transmitting job : d70731 pcn : 119000000 ***%%pcmsg|119 |00016|yes|no|02/10/2010 16:17|0|0|page is valid , no graphics -- color : n| .
