Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table provides certain information with respect to all of our equity compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2020:

Equity Compensation Plan Information

(1) Consists of: (i) 4,773,969 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding time-based stock options and underlying outstanding time-based SARs; (ii) 571,506 shares of common stock issuable in settlement of outstanding restricted stock units awarded; (iii) 786,165 shares of common stock issuable in settlement of outstanding performance units awarded; and (iv) 1,584 shares of deferred common stock outstanding under the Director Deferral Plan. Excludes (i) 127,292 shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards of restricted stock.

(2) Consists of outstanding awards issued to certain executives with supplemental pension benefits in accordance with their individual employment arrangements under the IMS Health DCERP.

(3) The weighted-average exercise price includes all outstanding stock options and SARs but does not include restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance units or performance stock, deferred stock or IMS Health DCERP awards, all of which do not have an exercise price. If restricted stock units, performance units and other awards that constitute “rights” were included in this calculation, treating such awards as having an exercise price of $0, the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights would be $82.12.

(4) Consists of all securities remaining available under our equity compensation plans. All of these shares are available for delivery under stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards or other forms of equity award authorized by the plans. Does not include 2,251,704 shares that would have remained available under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan had it not been discontinued as of December 31, 2016.
