The Company issued 25,806 shares of immediately vested common stock during the three months ended  June 30, 2022. The Company issued 119,044 shares of immediately vested common stock, of which 110,752 shares were issued in-lieu of cash bonuses in the period, and 309,700 shares of restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2021. These restricted stock awards generally vest over 2-3 years.  Awards for restricted stock include both time-based and performance-based awards.  For options and restricted stock awards that vest upon the passage of time, expense is being recorded over the vesting period.  Performance-based awards are expensed over the requisite service period based on probability of achievement.

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards, less expected annual forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ service period.

The total unrecognized compensation cost for unvested outstanding restricted stock was $4.3 million at June 30, 2022. This expense will be recognized over a weighted-average expense period of approximately 1.2 years.
