SANDISK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restricted Stock Units. RSUs are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting on a
one-for-one basis. Typically, vesting of RSUs is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the
Company. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant, and compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period.
A summary of the changes in RSUs outstanding under the Company’s share-based compensation
plans during the three fiscal years ended December 28, 2014 is presented below (in thousands, except for
weighted-average grant date fair value):
