Equity Instrument Denominated in the Shares of a Subsidiary As part of the formation of Standard Bearer in January of 2022, the Company established the Standard Bearer Healthcare REIT, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Standard Bearer Equity Plan). The Company may grant stock options and restricted stock awards under the Standard Bearer Equity Plan to employees and management of Ensign's independent subsidiaries. These awards generally vest over a period of five years or upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The value of the stock options and restricted stock awards is tied to the value of the common stock of Standard Bearer, which is determined based on an independent valuation of Standard Bearer. The awards can be put to Standard Bearer at various prescribed dates, which in no event is earlier than six months after vesting of the restricted awards or exercise of the stock options. The Company can also call the awards, generally upon employee termination. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Standard Bearer sold fully vested common shares from the Standard Bearer Equity Plan to shareholders for cash of $6,544.

These preferred shares were fully vested at the time of the contributions by the shareholders. The value of Standard Bearer common and preferred shares held by the Company are eliminated in consolidation and the value held by other shareholders are classified as noncontrolling interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
