Š We determined the fair value of the SARs granted based on a Monte Carlo simulation method. Outstanding SARs have contractual terms ranging from seven to ten years from the date of the grant. The SARs have time and market-based vesting conditions but vest no earlier than their three year graded vesting schedule.

SARs have contractual terms of ten years from the date of the grant. The SARs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method as the vesting is dependent on the achievement of certain stock price targets. The SARs have time and market-based vesting conditions but vest no earlier than their three year graded vesting schedule.

K E Y W O R D S additives, antimicrobial, biological applications of polymers, blends, elastomers, thermoplastics 1 | INTRODUCTION The global consumption of specialty biocides at the manufacturing sales level was approximately 1.7 million metric tons with a value of about $7.5 billion.[1] However, the usage of these additives is quite nominal in plastics ($180 million USD) and other hard surfaces.[2] The SARS- CoV-2 pandemic has brought to the forefront the necessity for customers to protect themselves in the environment in which they live, leading to a greater appreciation for disin- fectant products in professional hygiene settings (airports, hospitals, schools, etc.) as well as home disinfection applica- tions, such as laundry sanitization.
