These excerpts taken from the NRG 10-K filed Feb 12, 2009. Performance
Units, or PUs
PUs granted under the Companys LTIP fully vest three
years from the date of issuance. PUs granted prior to
January 1, 2009 are paid out upon vesting if the average
closing price of NRGs common stock for the ten trading
days prior to the vesting date, or the Measurement Price, is
equal to or greater than the Target Price. A Target Price and
Maximum Price are determined on the date of issuance. The payout
for each PU will be equal to: (i) one share of common
stock, if the Measurement Price equals the Target Price;
(ii) a pro-rata amount between one and two shares of common
stock, if the Measurement Price is greater than the Target Price
but less than the Maximum Price; and (iii) two shares of
common stock, if the Measurement Price is equal to, or greater
than, the Maximum Price. PUs granted after January 1,
2009 are paid out upon vesting if the Measurement Price is equal
to or greater than 9% growth in the NRG stock price compounded
annually over three years, or the Threshold Price. The payout
for each PU will be equal to a pro-rated amount in between
one-half and one share of common stock if the Measurement Price
equals or exceeds the Threshold Price but less than the Target
Price. The payout for each PU will be equal to a pro-rated
amount in between one and two shares of common stock, if the
Measurement Price is equal to the Target Price but less than the
Maximum Price. The payout for each PU will be equal to two
shares of common stock if the Measurement Price is equal to or
greater than the Maximum Price.
The following table summarizes the Companys non-vested PU
awards as of December 31, 2008 and changes during the year
then ended:
The weighted average grant date fair value of PUs granted
during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was
$26.99, $22.43 and $17.62, respectively.

The fair value of PUs is estimated on the date of grant
using a Monte Carlo simulation model and expensed over the
service period, which equals the vesting period. Significant
assumptions used in the fair value model for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 with respect to the
Companys PUs are summarized below:
For 2006, expected volatility was calculated based on a blended
average of NRG and NRGs industry peers historical
two-year stock price volatility data. For 2008 and 2007, as more
historical NRG data has become available, expected volatility is
calculated based on NRGs historical stock price volatility
data over the period commensurate with the expected term of the
PU, which equals the vesting period.
