Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock Incentive Plans | Stock Incentive Plans We are authorized to issue up to 8,000,000 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 3,879,185 shares as of March 31, 2015. 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. 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, 2015 to March 31, 2015 is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2015 | 514,419 |  |  | $ | 10.82 |
Granted | 216,159 |  |  | 14.48 |
Vested | (255,828 | ) |  | 10.39 |
Unvested balance at March 31, 2015 | 474,750 |  |  | $ | 12.72 |
The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 241,881 shares during 2016, 153,578 shares during 2017 and 79,291 shares during 2018. As of March 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $5.8 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 28 months. We recorded $0.7 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Market Stock Units Market stock units (“MSUs”) are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. The actual number of shares issued to each executive officer at the vesting date is based on the Company's total stockholder return over a three-year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the remaining 99,047 outstanding MSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 148,572 shares of common stock, before income tax withholding. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded less than $0.1 million of compensation expense. As of March 31, 2015, there are no MSUs remaining. Performance Stock Units Performance stock units (“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 value of the awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 included the following assumptions:
Award Grant Date |  | Volatility |  | Risk-Free Rate |  | Fair Value at Grant Date
February 27, 2015 |  | 22.9 | % |  | 1.01 | % |  | $ | 12.13 |
The simulations also considered the share performance of the Company and the peer group. A summary of our PSUs from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015 is as follows:
| Number of Target Units |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2015 | 436,170 |  |  | $ | 10.95 |
Granted | 218,467 |  |  | 12.13 |
Additional units from dividends | 2,955 |  |  | 15.13 |
Unvested balance at March 31, 2015 | 657,592 |  |  | $ | 11.36 |
The remaining target units are expected to vest as follows: 232,154 units during 2016, 206,971 units during 2017 and 218,467 units during 2018. As of March 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $4.8 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 28 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the PSUs.
