2018 Equity Incentive Plan
 
On January 1, 2018, the Board adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2018 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders on March 7, 2018. The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), preferred stock and other awards to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers.

In June 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan that increased the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 15,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an aggregate of 15,680,345 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

A summary of the Company’s stock-based compensation, by category, is as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)202420232022
Performance-based stock awards$47,301 $— $— 
Service-based stock awards110,341 32,644 24,595 
Total stock-based compensation$157,642 $32,644 $24,595 

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants service-based RSUs to employees, directors, and consultants. RSUs granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant; however, in certain instances, all or a portion of a grant may vest immediately. RSUs granted to directors generally vest over a one-year period. The Company measures the fair value of RSUs at the grant date and recognizes expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period from the date of grant for each separately-vesting tranche under the graded-vesting attribution method.

A summary of the Company’s service-based RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, is as follows:

Number of RSUsWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2023
5,765,529 $9.40

Vested(4,841,985)12.99 
Nonvested at December 31, 2024
7,988,767 $15.44 

As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $64.7 million of aggregate unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested service-based RSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next 2.8 years.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) on May 1, 2024, and subsequently to new hires and for promotions. These awards generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. Awards are issued in the form of RSUs and are granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan. The number of PSUs that are subject to vest is directly correlated with the Company’s achievements of a pre-determined metric relating to total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”).

Based on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the peer group for the Performance Period, the PSU awards will vest between 0% to 200% of the target amount over an approximate four-year period. Determination regarding the Company’s performance relative to the TSR metric will establish the maximum number of shares that are subject
to vesting pursuant to the PSU awards. Once determined, (i) 25% of the PSU awards will vest on January 31, 2025, and (ii) the balance of the awards will vest in 12 equal calendar quarters (with 6.25% of the shares vesting each quarter). The Company measures the fair value of the PSUs at the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected stock price volatility, market capitalization of peer group, and dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates for constant maturity U.S. Treasury securities as of the grant date. Expected term is consistent with the Performance Period of the awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the estimated expected life. The Company does not pay a dividend, therefore, the dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company revised the peer group for its PSUs to ensure a relevant benchmark for performance evaluation and modified the vesting date of the first tranche to December 31, 2024. This modification resulted in the recognition of $26.1 million of incremental expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The remaining $78.2 million of incremental expense will be recognized over the requisite service period.

A summary of the Company’s PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, is as follows:

Number of PSUs
Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2023

Vested(753,465)49.05 
Nonvested at December 31, 2024 (1)
2,260,612 $49.05 

(1) The actual performance resulted in a payout of 200% of the target level.

As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $100.5 million of aggregate unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested PSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next 3.1 years.

Common Stock Warrants

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock warrants had no change from December 31, 2023. The Company continues to have 324,375 outstanding warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $25.00, that are expected to expire in approximately 1.0 years.
