UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The fair value of each RPU is the NYSE closing price on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date
fair value of RPUs granted during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $55.83, $71.06, and $70.90, respectively. The total
fair value of RPUs vested during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $72, $83, and $19 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2009, there was $185 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RPUs.
That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years and 5 months.
Discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We maintain an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees, which was modified in 2009.
Under the modified plan, shares of UPS class A common stock may be purchased at quarterly intervals at 95% of
the NYSE closing price of UPS class B common stock on the last day of each quarterly period. Prior to the
modification in the second quarter of 2009, shares could be purchased at quarterly intervals at 90% of the lower
of the NYSE closing price of the UPS class B common stock on the first or the last day of each quarterly period.
Employees purchased 0.6, 1.9, and 1.8 million shares at average prices of $44.30, $55.27, and $64.20 per share
during 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Subsequent to the modification, the plan is no longer considered to be
compensatory, and therefore no compensation cost is measured for the modified employees’ purchase rights.
Prior to the modification, compensation cost was measured for the fair value of employees’ purchase rights under
our discounted employee stock purchase plan using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and we determined
the weighted average fair value of the employee purchase rights to be $7.52, $8.85, and $9.80 per share for 2009,
2008, and 2007, respectively.
