In an 8-K filed this morning, Cisco said that 75mm options with a strike of $13.04 were awarded to employees yesterday. Apparently this is a merit based award.

Do you know whether the fact this is a "merit based award" impacts the accounting? Performance based options result in an expense on the income statement; do merit based awards result in the same? Is there a formal definition for a "merit based award"?

Thanks, Huey
