Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION All stock-based awards are subject to the terms of the CareTrust REIT, Inc. and CTR Partnership, L.P. Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of stock-based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, performance awards, restricted stock units, relative total stockholder return based stock awards and other incentive awards to officers, employees and directors in connection with their employment with or services provided to the Company. Under the Plan, 5,000,000 shares have been authorized for awards. Under the Plan, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) typically vest in equal annual installments over a three year period. The board of directors granted certain RSAs in 2025 (“2025 RSAs”) which vest in one installment over one year. RSAs granted to non-employee members of the board of directors (“Board Awards”) vest in full on the earlier to occur of the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or one year. Relative total shareholder return units (“TSR Units”) granted since 2021 are subject to both time and market based conditions and cliff vest after a three-year period. The amount of such market awards that will ultimately vest is dependent on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to a custom TSR peer group consisting of other publicly traded healthcare REITs and will range from 0% to 200% of the TSR Units initially granted. The RSAs and Board Awards are valued on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, while the TSR Units are valued on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The vesting of certain awards may accelerate, as defined in the grant agreement, upon retirement, a change in control or other events. The following table summarizes the status of the restricted stock award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
