HRG granted no restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2015. All of these grants are time based, and vest either immediately, or over a period of up to 3 years. The total fair value of the stock grants during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 on their respective grant dates was approximately $30.5. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, stock option awards and restricted stock awards with a total fair value of $31.4 vested.

Under HRG’s executive bonus plan for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, executives will be paid in cash, stock, stock options and restricted stock shares. The equity grants are expected to be granted in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and to vest, either immediately, or between 1 and 3 years from the grant date.
As of June 30, 2016, there was approximately $7.2 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation agreements previously granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.01 years.
The fair values of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are determined based on the market price of HRG’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock option awards and warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s effective tax rate of (7.9)% and (8.7)%, respectively, differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% and was impacted by the change in judgment in the realizability on a portion of Spectrum Brand’s U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that were previously recorded with valuation allowance and recognition of a portion of tax benefits on current year losses from the Energy and Corporate and Other segments in the U.S. that are more likely than not to be realized based on the expected taxable gain from the FGL Merger. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced due to $5.9 of non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes and changes in state deferred tax rates on Spectrum Brands’ net deferred tax liabilities. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 also includes the effect of $25.5 of income tax expense recognized by Spectrum Brands for a tax contingency reserve for a tax exposure in Germany, as well as the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 that resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in the Company’s provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital of $11.6 and $29.0 for the three and
