Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Equity-Based Compensation | Equity-Based Compensation Equity-based awards are granted pursuant to the Surgery Partners, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2020 ("2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan"). Under this plan, the Company can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, performance awards, cash awards and other awards convertible into or otherwise based on shares of its common stock. As of December 31, 2024, 11,815,700 shares were authorized to be granted under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 3,553,509 were available for future equity grants. The terms of equity-based awards, including vesting conditions, are determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the applicable award agreements at the time of issuance. In general, vesting is contingent upon either a service, performance or market condition (or a combination thereof). Accelerated vesting for earned shares may occur upon certain terminating events, including a change in control of the Company. The Company measures the fair value of equity-based awards on the date of grant, with associated compensation costs recognized over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures as they occur. The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation expense using the straight line method over the relevant vesting period for units that vest based on time. Restricted and Performance Share-Based Awards During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted restricted stock awards ("RSAs") of 410,057 and 505,787, respectively, to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors in accordance with the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. In general, RSAs vest ratably over a one to three-year service period, contingent upon continued employment or service to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") of 399,745 and 334,275, respectively, which were subject to the achievement of various performance conditions. The performance period for these PSUs is generally one year from the date of grant, with ratable vesting continuing for two years from the earned date or three years after the the date of grant with a one-time cliff vesting. In addition to the achievement of the performance conditions, these PSUs are generally subject to the continuing service of the employee over the vesting periods. For certain PSUs awarded to officers of the Company, the number of shares payable at the end of the performance periods ranges from 0% to 300% of the targeted units based on the Company’s actual performance results and/or market conditions as compared to the targets. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 123,742 and 74,123 of the PSUs previously granted were deemed to have been earned, respectively.
