Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Share-Based Payments | Share-Based Payments On September 23, 2009, our board of directors approved the Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc., 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "LTIP"). The LTIP provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (on a fully diluted basis). The LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors (the "Compensation Committee") and all grants under the LTIP must be approved by the Compensation Committee. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to restricted stock and RSU vesting. We adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 and the stock-based compensation expense for grants before the adoption of ASU 2018-07 is based on the closing price of our common stock of $16.66 on December 31, 2018, which was the last business day before we adopted ASU 2018-07. Refer to "Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion on our adoption of ASU 2018-07. The following table summarizes the grants, vesting and forfeitures of restricted common stock and RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2019:
| Type |  | Restricted Stock |  | RSUs |  | Grant Date Fair Value ($ in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2018 |  | 65,697 |  |  | 1,852,957 |  |  |
| Vested |  | (1,419 | ) |  | — |  |  | N/A
| Forfeiture |  | — |  |  | (4,174 | ) |  | N/A
Outstanding at March 31, 2019 |  | 64,278 |  |  | 1,848,783 |  |  |
Below is a summary of restricted stock and RSU vesting dates as of March 31, 2019:
Vesting Year |  | Restricted Stock |  | RSU |  | Total Awards
2019 |  | 40,671 |  |  | 887,222 |  |  | 927,893 |
2020 |  | 14,251 |  |  | 626,738 |  |  | 640,989 |
2021 |  | 9,356 |  |  | 334,823 |  |  | 344,179 |
Total |  | 64,278 |  |  | 1,848,783 |  |  | 1,913,061 |
At March 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $27.1 million, 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, 2019 and 2018, we delivered 433,426 and 354,996 shares of common stock for 730,717 and 603,677 vested RSUs, respectively. We allow RSU participants 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 participant, 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 $5.0 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The adjustment is a reduction of capital related to our equity incentive plan and is presented net of increases of capital related to our equity incentive plan in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity.
