The LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and all grants under the LTIP must be approved by the Compensation Committee. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,668 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, related to restricted stock and RSU vesting. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,117 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, related to restricted stock and RSU vesting.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $1,564 and $14,297, respectively, related to the vesting of restricted stock awards and RSUs noted in the table above. RSU Deliveries During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company delivered 190,003 shares of common stock for 318,160 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 condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The adjustment was $2,348 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and is included as a component of the capital decrease related to the Company's equity incentive plan in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
