(b)
The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year- end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the change in fair value during the current year of any equity awards granted in a prior year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.
