Equity vs. Liability Classified Awards Equity - fair value is determined and fixed on the date of grant and is expensed over the award's vesting period Liability - For liability classified awards, fair value is determined on the date of grant and re-measured each reporting date thereafter, until the award is settled, and is expensed over the award's vesting period, with a current period adjustment to earnings to reflect changes in fair value for the portion of the vesting period already served Refer to FASB ASC 718-20-55-124 through 133 for an example on accounting for awards reclassified from equity to liability
