The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008 and the eight months ended December 31,
2007 was $4.86 and $10.82, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.1 million and Delta
received $0.4 million in cash from the exercise of those options. No options were exercised during the eight months ended December 31, 2007.
Performance Shares. Performance shares are long-term incentive opportunities which are payable in common stock and are generally contingent upon
our achieving certain financial goals. During 2008 and 2007, we granted performance shares with an aggregate target payout opportunity covering
approximately two million shares of common stock. The closing of the Merger caused the vesting at target of substantially all previously unvested
performance shares.
