Stock-based Compensation and Outstanding Awards | 12. Stock-based Compensation and Outstanding Awards The Company has a stock-based compensation plan known as the NOW Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company’s employees are eligible to be granted stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units and phantom shares (“RSUs”), and performance stock awards (“PSAs”). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 697,317 stock options with a weighted average fair value of $3.59 per share and 374,254 shares of RSAs and RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $8.78 per share. In addition, the Company granted PSAs to senior management employees with potential payouts varying from zero to 343,302 shares. These options vest over a three-year period from the grant date on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The RSAs and RSUs vest on the first and third anniversary of the date of grant. The PSAs can be earned based on performance against established metrics over a three-year performance period. The PSAs are divided into three independent parts that are subject to separate performance metrics: (i) one-half of the PSAs have a Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) metric, (ii) one-quarter of the PSAs have an EBITDA metric, and (iii) one-quarter of the PSAs have a Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) metric. Performance against the TSR metric is determined by comparing the performance of the Company’s TSR with the TSR performance of designated peer companies for the three-year performance period. Performance against the EBITDA metric is determined by comparing the performance of the Company’s actual EBITDA average for each of the three-years of the performance period against the EBITDA metrics set by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Performance against the ROCE metric is determined by comparing the performance of the Company’s actual ROCE average for each of the three-years of the performance period against the ROCE metrics set by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $1 million in both periods, compared to $4 million and $8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2019. Unvested stocks and awards associated with certain executives retiring were allowed to continue to vest after retirement, for which the Company accounted as a Type III modification under ASC Topic 718 since the expectation of the award vesting changed from improbable to probable. Therefore, the stock-based compensation expense recognized was based on the modification-date fair value resulting in a reduction of stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
