In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Company (the "Committee") approved a grant to Mr. McMahon of (i) restricted stock units ("RSUs") of the Company's common stock for fiscal 2018, (ii) performance-based restricted stock units of the Company's common stock for the fiscal 2018 to fiscal 2020 performance period, and (iii) a minimum value for Mr. McMahon's long-term incentive awards for fiscal 2019. The RSUs and performance-based restricted stock unit award are subject to the standard terms and conditions of the Company's forms of equity award agreements under Agilent's 2018 Stock Plan. The RSUs have a four-year vesting schedule and one-year post-vest holding restriction.  The performance-based restricted stock unit award will vest on October 31, 2020 with the actual payout ranging between 0% and 200% of the target based on the Company's actual performance against performance goals established by the Committee for the three-year period ending on October 31, 2020, and also includes a one-year post-vest holding restriction.
