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 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.

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 September 30, 2024 after adjusting for forfeitures was $9.2 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 September 30, 2024 was approximately $0.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a reversal of $0.0 million and $4.5 million of compensation cost related to the awards, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a reversal of $1.0 million of compensation cost related to the awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total of $0.2 million of compensation cost related to the awards. The awards were forfeited in November 2024 as the Company’s stock price did not reach the pre-specified target.

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.

2024 Inducement Plan

The Board adopted the Company’s 2024 Inducement Plan (Inducement Plan) in September 2024. The Inducement Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-related awards. Stock awards granted under the Inducement Plan may only be made to individuals who did not previously serve as employees or non-employee directors of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. In addition, stock awards must be approved by either a majority of the Company’s independent directors or the Compensation Committee. The terms of the Inducement Plan are otherwise substantially similar to the 2024 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the Inducement Plan is 2,400,000 shares. At September 30, 2024, there were 1,805,595 shares available for new grants.
