Omnibus Incentive Plan and Partnership Inducement Award Plan
The Company has an Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and a Partnership Inducement Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”) to motivate and reward Colleagues and other individuals, including those who join the Company through Partnerships, to perform at the highest level and contribute significantly to the Company’s success, thereby furthering the best interests of its shareholders. The Omnibus Plan and the Inducement Plan provide for the Company to make awards of 3,844,044 and 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, at September 30, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made awards of restricted stock, unrestricted stock and performance-based restricted stock units under the Plans to its non-employee directors and Colleagues. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards were issued under the Omnibus Plan in connection with the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is discussed in further detail below. Shares of unrestricted stock issued to directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were vested upon issuance while restricted stock issued to Colleagues, Risk Advisors and executive officers generally either cliff vest after 4 years or vest ratably over 3 to 5 years.
The following table summarizes the activity for non-vested awards granted by the Company under the Plans:

Long-Term Incentive Plan
On May 3, 2021, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted stock unit award agreement (the “Form PSU Award Agreement”) under the Company’s Omnibus Plan in connection with the granting of performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards to its executive officers. The Form PSU Award Agreement provides for the granting of PSUs which generally vest in the quarter following the end of a performance period of three years. The number of PSUs, if any, that will be earned pursuant to a PSU award will depend on the level of performance achieved with respect to applicable performance goals during the performance period.
On May 3, 2021, the Compensation Committee awarded the Company’s executive officers incentive compensation awards of (i) PSUs with an aggregate target grant date value of $3.1 million and (ii) restricted stock with an aggregate grant date value of $1.0 million. The restricted stock will vest in equal annual installments over five years, with the first installment vesting on March 15, 2022. The incentive compensation awards have an aggregate maximum value of $8.8 million.
