Note 9: Share-Based Compensation

Our share-based compensation primarily consists of awards of stock options and RSUs to certain employees and directors and is awarded as part of our approach to long-term incentive compensation. Additionally, through our employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of Comcast Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions.

In March 2013, we granted 18.4 million stock options and 5.2 million RSUs related to our annual management awards. The weighted-average fair values associated with these grants were $8.80 per stock option and $37.85 per RSU.
