Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 20. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)
Outstanding RSU-stock are either strictly time-based or a combination of performance and time-based awards.
Expenses associated with RSU-stock are recorded in Selling, administrative, and other expense.
• Time-based RSU-stock generally have a graded vesting feature whereby one-third of each RSU-stock vests after
the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third after the second anniversary, and one-third after the third
anniversary. The expense is recognized using the graded vesting method.
• Performance RSU-stock have a performance period (usually 1-3 years) and usually a restriction period (usually
1-3 years). Compensation expense for performance RSU-stock is recognized when it is probable and estimable
as measured against the performance metrics. Expense is then recognized over the performance and restriction
periods, if any, based on the fair market value of Ford Common Stock at grant date.
We also grant stock options to our employees. We measure the fair value of the majority of our stock options using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using historical volatility and our determination of the expected term. The
expected term of stock options is the time period that the stock options are expected to be outstanding. Historical data
are used to estimate option exercise behaviors and employee termination experience.
Stock options generally have a vesting feature whereby one-third of the stock options are exercisable after the first
anniversary of the grant date, one-third after the second anniversary, and one-third after the third anniversary. Stock
options expire ten years from the grant date and are expensed in Selling, administrative, and other expenses using a
three-year graded vesting methodology.
We issue new shares of Common Stock upon settlement of RSU-stock and options settleable in shares. During 2012,
we intend to implement a modest anti-dilutive share repurchase plan to offset share-based compensation.
