UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
99
Deferred Compensation Obligations and Treasury Stock
We maintain a deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees were previously able to elect to defer the gains on
stock option exercises by deferring the shares received upon exercise into a rabbi trust. The shares held in this trust are
classified as treasury stock, and the liability to participating employees is classified as “deferred compensation obligations” in
the shareowners’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The number of shares needed to settle the liability for
deferred compensation obligations is included in the denominator in both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Employees are generally no longer able to defer the gains from stock options exercised subsequent to December 31, 2004.
Activity in the deferred compensation program for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in
millions):
