Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock Incentive Plans | Stock Incentive Plans We are authorized to issue up to 8 million shares of our common stock under our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”), of which we have issued or committed to issue 3,691,587 shares as of September 30, 2014. In addition to these shares, additional shares of common stock could be issued in connection with the market stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards as further described below. On May 15, 2014, we issued (i) 19,671 shares of common stock and (ii) 19,671 deferred stock units to our board of directors having an aggregate value of $465,000, based on the closing stock price for our common stock on such day. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees generally vest over a 3-year period from the date of the grant based on continued employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2014 | 583,021 |  |  | $ | 9.80 |
Granted | 246,621 |  |  | 12.37 |
Forfeited | (537 | ) |  | 9.32 |
Vested | (270,440 | ) |  | 10.10 |
Unvested balance at September 30, 2014 | 558,665 |  |  | $ | 10.79 |
The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 46,936 during 2014, 255,828 during 2015, 168,929 during 2016, 80,626 during 2017, and 6,346 during 2018. As of September 30, 2014, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $4.0 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 24 months. We recorded $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. We recorded $2.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of compensation expenses related to restricted stock awards for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $0.7 million related to the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the departure of our former Chief Operating Officer in 2013. Market Stock Units From 2010 to 2012, we awarded our executive officers market stock units (“MSUs”). MSUs are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2014, there are 97,602 MSUs outstanding, which represent awards granted in 2012. The unrecognized compensation cost related to the MSUs was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 5 months. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded approximately $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the MSUs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the MSUs. Performance Stock Units We have awarded our executive officers performance stock units (“PSUs”). PSUs are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). The actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer is subject to the achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs over a three-year performance period. There will be no payout of shares of our common stock if our total stockholder return falls below the 30th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of common stock issued to an executive officer is equal to 150% of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The fair values of the PSU awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of the awards included the following assumptions:
Award Grant Date |  | Volatility |  | Risk-Free Rate |  | Fair Value at Grant Date
March 3, 2013 |  | 39.2 | % |  | 0.36 | % |  | $ | 9.55 |
May 15, 2013 |  | 37.9 | % |  | 0.40 | % |  | $ | 10.41 |
March 3, 2014 |  | 33.5 | % |  | 0.66 | % |  | $ | 12.77 |
May 15, 2014 |  | 33.1 | % |  | 0.80 | % |  | $ | 9.88 |
The simulations also considered the share performance of the Company and the peer group. A summary of our PSUs from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 is as follows:
| Number of Units |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2014 | 223,176 |  |  | $ | 9.66 |
Granted | 200,685 |  |  | 12.33 |
Additional units from dividends | 8,849 |  |  | 11.69 |
Unvested balance at September 30, 2014 | 432,710 |  |  | $ | 10.94 |
The remaining units are expected to vest as follows: 228,763 during 2016 and 203,947 during 2017. As of September 30, 2014, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $3.0 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 25 months. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the PSUs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded approximately $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the PSUs.
