Anixter International Inc. Financial Statement Analysis
ANIXTER INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Under the current stock incentive plan, the Company pays its non-employee directors annual retainer fees and, at their
election, meeting fees in the form of stock units. Currently, these units are granted quarterly and vest immediately. Therefore,
the Company includes these units in its common stock outstanding on the date of vesting as the conditions for conversion are
met. However, the actual issuance of shares related to all director units are deferred until a pre-arranged time selected by each
director. Compensation expense associated with the director stock units was $2.8 million, $2.4 million and $2.5 million in 2019,
2018 and 2017, respectively.
The total fair value of stock units that vested was $16.7 million, $14.8 million and $14.4 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

(d) Adjustments based on final evaluations for non-vested performance stock units.
The weighted-average remaining contractual term for outstanding employee units is 1.9 years.
The aggregate intrinsic value of units converted into stock represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (calculated using
Anixter's stock price on the date of conversion multiplied by the number of units converted) that was received by unit holders.
The aggregate intrinsic value of units converted into stock for 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $17.8 million, $16.1 million and $13.2
million, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of units outstanding represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (calculated using Anixter's
closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year multiplied by the number of units outstanding) that will be received
by the unit recipients upon vesting. The aggregate intrinsic value of units outstanding for 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $103.1
million, $59.5 million and $84.8 million, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of units convertible represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (calculated using Anixter's
closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year multiplied by the number of units convertible) that would have been
received by the unit holders. The aggregate intrinsic value of units convertible for 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $37.0 million,
$20.5 million and $28.3 million, respectively.
