Equity Incentive Plans Equity Incentive Plans
On June 2, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the Acushnet Holdings Corp. Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2015 Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2015 Plan increases the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the plan by 1,266,000 shares and extends the term of the plan through June 2, 2035. Under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and other share-based and cash-based awards to members of the board of directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. As of September 30, 2025, the only equity-based awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan were RSUs and PSUs.
As of September 30, 2025, there were 6,009,882 remaining shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan of which 3,209,963 remained available for future grants.
Restricted Stock and Performance Stock Units
RSUs granted to members of the board of directors vest immediately into shares of common stock. RSUs granted to the officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company vest in accordance with the terms of the grants, generally over three years, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. PSUs granted to Company officers and other employees vest based upon the Company's performance against specified targets, generally over a three-year performance period, subject to the recipient's continued service to the Company. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued is determined based upon the Company's
performance against these targets. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the recipient's target award. Recipients of the awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issuable upon vesting to a future date elected by the recipient.
All RSUs and PSUs granted under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan have DERs, which entitle holders of RSUs and PSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock and can be paid in either cash or common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding RSUs and PSUs. DERs are paid when the underlying shares of common stock are delivered.
A summary of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs as of September 30, 2025 and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:
