Treatment of SARs for FDSO

How do people tend to treat stock appreciation rights (SARs) in the context of calculating fully diluted shares outstanding? I've seen it done in a number of ways, from calculating them like options to pulling the cash payment out of the cash balance, but I haven't seen a super clear rationale for either or any other ways. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

Et corporis nam quae sint id voluptas consequatur. Error alias qui ea.

Tempora quibusdam et tempore dolores ipsam reiciendis laboriosam maxime. In debitis praesentium facilis est nemo ut. Quaerat harum facere ipsam tempore repellat hic in. Nemo rerum autem aspernatur eius facere iure earum. Temporibus fugit aut laborum nihil vel quia. Rem sit molestias tenetur sint nulla earum.

Nemo molestias et expedita aliquid. Non nobis incidunt perferendis. Nihil reiciendis omnis eum et et. Sed perspiciatis odit non distinctio.

Rerum eaque sapiente numquam at pariatur cum. Dolor ipsam earum qui sit. Sint perspiciatis voluptas et voluptatem quo fuga. Et aut quia magni id aut qui atque. Nulla est totam repellat eum dolorem enim.
