(d) As part of their director compensation, members of the Board of Directors of LKQ Corporation (the "Company") currently receive an annual grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") with a value equal to $100,000 under the Company's 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). Such RSUs vest one year after the grant date. In order to provide Guhan Subramanian pro rata compensation for his service on the Board of Directors between the date of his election on January 2, 2013 and the next scheduled RSU grant date, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a grant to Mr. Subramanian of 1,604 RSUs on January 15, 2013. The RSUs granted were equal to $100,000 in value based on the Company's average stock price on the grant date, adjusted to reflect the number of days of his service on the board until the next scheduled RSU grant date. The RSUs granted to Mr. Subramanian will fully vest one year after the grant date.
(e) On January 15, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 6,756 RSUs under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan to Joseph M. Holsten as compensation for his service as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The RSUs granted were equal to $150,000 in value based on the Company's average stock price on the grant date. The RSUs granted to Mr. Holsten fully vested on the grant date.
