Benefit Plans
We recognized share-based payment expense of $23,693 and $19,417 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2015, our stockholders approved the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Employees, consultants and members of our board of directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards that the compensation committee of our board of directors deem appropriate. Vesting and other terms of stock-based awards are set forth in the agreements with the individuals receiving the awards. Stock-based awards granted under the 2015 Plan are generally subject to a vesting requirement. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. As of March 31, 2016, 242,942 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2015 Plan.
Other Plans
We maintain four other share-based benefit plans — the Sirius XM Radio Inc. 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, the XM 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated Sirius Satellite Radio 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and the XM 1998 Shares Award Plan. No further awards may be made under these plans.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to compute the fair value of options granted to employees:
There were no options granted to members of our board of directors or third parties during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, or employees during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We do not intend to pay regular dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, the dividend yield used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option value was zero for all periods.
The following table summarizes stock option activity under our share-based plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016:
The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.74. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4,470 and $30,952, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the number of net settled shares which were issued as a result of stock option exercises was 754.
We recognized share-based payment expense associated with stock options of $19,039 and $16,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit and stock award activity under our share-based plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016:
The total intrinsic value of restricted stock units and stock awards vesting during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.
We recognized share-based payment expense associated with restricted stock units and stock awards of $4,654 and $2,726 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested share-based payment awards for stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees, members of our board of directors and third parties at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, net of estimated forfeitures, were $227,370 and $261,628, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation costs at March 31, 2016 are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.
401(k) Savings Plan
Sirius XM sponsors the Sirius XM Radio Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Sirius XM Plan”) for eligible employees. The Sirius XM Plan allows eligible employees to voluntarily contribute from 1% to 50% of their pre-tax eligible earnings, subject to certain defined limits. We match 50% of an employee’s voluntary contributions per pay period on the first 6% of an employee’s pre-tax salary up to a maximum of 3% of eligible compensation. We may also make additional discretionary matching, true-up matching and non-elective contributions to the Sirius XM Plan. Employer matching contributions under the Sirius XM Plan vest at a rate of 33.33% for each year of employment and are fully vested after three years of employment for all current and future contributions. Our cash employer matching contributions are not used to purchase shares of our common stock on the open market, unless the employee elects our common stock as their investment option for this contribution. We recognized $1,691 and $3,027 in expense during three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to the Sirius XM Plan in fulfillment of our matching obligation.
Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan
In 2015, we adopted the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”). The DCP allows members of our board of directors and certain eligible employees to defer all or a portion of their base salary, cash incentive compensation and/or board of directors’ compensation, as applicable, each plan year starting in 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the DCP, we may elect to make additional contributions beyond amounts deferred by participants, but we are under no obligation to do so. We have established a grantor (or “rabbi”) trust to facilitate the payment of our obligations under the DCP.
As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the investments in the trust was $4,004, which is included in Other long-term assets in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and is classified as trading securities. Trading gains and losses associated with the trust are recorded in Other income within our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The associated liability is recorded within Other long-term liabilities in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets, and any increase or decrease in the liability is recorded in General and administration expense within our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded an immaterial amount of unrealized gains on investments held in the trust.
