Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Employee Benefits | Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Employee Benefits Stock-Based Compensation—The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense, including the expense related to performance incentive plans (see below), of $5.7 million and $26.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $6.7 million and $20.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, in "General and administrative" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Performance Incentive Plans—The Company's Performance Incentive Plans ("iPIP") are designed to provide, primarily to senior executives and select professionals engaged in the Company's investment activities, long-term compensation which has a direct relationship to the realized returns on investments included in the plans. Awards vest over six years, with 40% being vested at the end of the second year and 15% each year thereafter. 2019-2020 iPIP Plan—The Company's 2019-2020 iPIP plan is an equity-classified award which is measured at the grant date fair value and recognized as compensation cost in "General and administrative" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and "Noncontrolling interests" in the Company's consolidated statements of changes in equity over the requisite service period. Investments in the 2019-2020 iPIP plan will be held by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company that has two ownership classes, class A units and class B units. The Company owns 100% of the class A units and the class B units were issued to employees as long-term compensation. Except for certain clawback provisions, participants can retain vested class B units upon their termination of employment with the Company. The class B units are entitled to distributions from the net cash realized from the investments in the plan after the Company, through its ownership of the class A units, has received a specified return on its invested capital and a return of its invested capital. Distributions on the class B units are also subject to reductions under a total shareholder return ("TSR") adjustment. The fair value of the class B units was determined using a model that forecasts the underlying cash flows from the investments within the entity to which the class B units have ownership rights. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of expense related to the 2019-2020 iPIP plan. Distributions on the class B units will be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Company's common stock or in shares of SAFE's common stock owned by the Company. 2013-2018 iPIP Plans—The remainder of the Company's iPIP plans, as shown in the table below, are liability-classified awards and are remeasured each reporting period at fair value until the awards are settled. Certain employees will be granted awards that entitle employees to receive the residual cash flows from the investments in the plans after the Company has received a specified return on its invested capital and a return of its invested capital. Awards are also subject to reductions under a TSR adjustment. The fair value of awards is determined using a model that forecasts the Company's projected investment performance. Settlement of the awards will be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Company's common stock or in shares of SAFE's common stock owned by the Company. The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s liability-classified iPIP plans and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
