8. Stockholders’ Equity

Performance Stock Units

In March 2024, the Company began to issue performance stock units (PSU) with a market condition that are earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (rTSR) as compared to a peer group of companies measured over a three-year performance period and continued employment through the performance period. Depending on the actual performance over the measurement period, a rTSR PSU award recipient could receive up to 150% of the granted award. The grant date fair value of such awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, which includes assumptions such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. These unobservable inputs represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. The compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and will only be adjusted for pre-vesting forfeitures due to the termination of the recipient’s employment with the Company prior to the end of the performance period. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately 374,603 PSU with a rTSR market condition outstanding, representing the maximum 150% of the original grant that could be received.

Contingent Cash Awards

In November 2021, the Company established a plan whereby substantially all full-time employees excluding executive management are eligible to receive a series of cash bonuses over certain periods based on continued employment and the Company’s stock price reaching a pre-specified target. The maximum potential payout of the cash awards at the grant date was $15.1 million. The Company has determined that the cash awards were classified as liabilities pursuant to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards at each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation, which is recognized as compensation cost over the derived service period. Total fair value of the awards at the grant date was $4.4 million. The maximum potential payout at June 30, 2024 after adjusting for forfeitures was $9.6 million. However, due to the decrease of the Company’s stock price, the potential payout was deemed unlikely of being earned. Therefore, the fair value of the awards at June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.0 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a reversal of $0.2 million and $4.5 million of compensation cost related to the awards, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.2 million of compensation cost related to the awards, respectively.

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan) became effective upon approval of the stockholders in May 2024. The 2024 Plan permits the grant of awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. In addition, the 2024 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, and other awards. The 2024 Plan provides that, with limited exceptions, no award will vest until at least 12 months following the date of grant of the award; provided, however, that up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2024 Plan may be subject to awards which do not meet such vesting requirements. The maximum term of any stock option or stock appreciation right awards under 2024 Plan is ten years. All shares that remained eligible for grant under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and 2023 Inducement Plan at the time of approval of the 2024 Plan were transferred to the 2024 Plan. At June 30, 2024, there were 12,351,871 shares of common stock available for new grants under the 2024 Plan.
