At September 30, 2015, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $1,074 and $5,104, respectively, related to the vesting of restricted stock awards and RSUs noted in the table above. RSU Deliveries During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company delivered 12,763 shares of common stock for 20,000 vested RSUs. The Company allows holders of RSUs to settle their tax liabilities with a reduction of their share delivery from the originally granted and vested RSUs. The amount, when agreed to by the holder, results in a cash payment to the Manager related to this tax liability and a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in-capital on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The adjustment was $122 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and is included as a component of the capital decrease related to the Company's equity incentive plan in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
