Equity Incentive Plans Equity Incentive Plans
We are authorized to issue up to 7,900,000 shares of our common stock under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), of which we have issued or committed to issue 2,513,961 shares as of September 30, 2025. Shares underlying awards that are granted under the 2024 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, reacquired prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), including shares tendered or held back upon settlement of an award, other than a stock option or stock appreciation right, to cover the tax withholding will be added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees generally vest over a three to five year period from the date of 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 is as follows:

Vested(257,980)8.97 
Unvested balance at September 30, 2025841,713 $8.49 

The total unvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2025 are expected to vest as follows: 401,192 during 2026, 271,922 during 2027, 167,338 during 2028, and 1,261 during 2029. As of September 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $5.0 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 24 months. We recorded $0.9 million and $2.3 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $0.6 million and $4.5 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which included $2.0 million of accelerated compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the departures of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. The accelerated compensation expense is recorded as severance costs in corporate expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Performance Stock Units
Performance stock units (“PSUs”) are restricted stock units that generally vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). For PSUs granted in 2025, the actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer is based on the Company's achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs measured over a three-year performance period. There is 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 300% of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 90th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. There are limitations on the number of PSUs earned if the Company's total stockholder return is negative for the performance period.

We measure compensation expense for the PSUs based upon the fair market value of the award at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The grant date fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of our PSUs included the following assumptions:

(1)The number of shares of common stock earned for the PSUs vested in 2025 was equal to 101.26% of the PSU Target Award.

The total unvested PSUs as of September 30, 2025 are expected to vest as follows: 394,436 during 2026, 427,274 during 2027, and 626,846 during 2028. The number of shares earned upon vesting is subject to the attainment of the performance targets described above. As of September 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $6.0 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 26 months. We recorded $0.9 million and $2.2 million of compensation expense related to the PSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $0.4 million and $3.8 million of compensation expense related to the PSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which included $1.8 million of accelerated compensation expense related to PSUs for the departures of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. The accelerated compensation expense is recorded as severance costs in corporate expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These awards will vest at 100% of the PSU Target Award based on their original vesting schedule.

LTIP Units

LTIP units are designed to offer executives a long-term incentive comparable to restricted stock, while potentially allowing them a more favorable income tax treatment. Each year, executives have the option to elect to receive their annual grant of share-based compensation as either LTIP units or restricted stock awards. Each LTIP unit awarded is deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock reserved under the 2016 Plan or 2024 Plan, as applicable. At the time of
award, LTIP units do not have full economic parity with common OP units, but can achieve such parity over time upon the occurrence of specified events in accordance with partnership tax rules.
A summary of our LTIP units from January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 is as follows:

The total unvested LTIP units as of September 30, 2025 are expected to vest as follows: 46,709 during both 2026 and 2027. As of September 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to LTIP unit awards was $0.6 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 19 months. We recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million of compensation expense related to LTIP unit awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $0.1 million and $1.9 million of compensation expense related to LTIP unit awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which included $1.2 million of accelerated compensation expense related to LTIPs for the departures of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. The accelerated compensation expense is recorded as severance costs in corporate expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
