Equity Incentive Plans The 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 12, 2016 (the “Adoption Date”), provides for the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan plus any additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were available for grant under the 2008 Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) at the Adoption Date or would otherwise become available for grant under the 2008 Plan as a result of subsequent termination or forfeiture of awards under the 2008 Plan. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 25, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 1,100,000 shares.

In January 2019, the Company expanded the terms of its annual stock option grants to include vesting ratable monthly over four years, or with 25% vesting after one year followed by ratable monthly vesting over three years. Previously, the Company’s option grants generally had ratable annual vesting over three years, or 1-year cliff vesting. Nonemployee awards are granted similar to the Company’s employee awards. All option grants have a 10-year term. Options to purchase a total of 297,361 shares of the Company’s Common Stock vested during the year ended December 31, 2021. In determining the grant date fair value of option awards during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following key assumptions:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |  |  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Option life (in years) |  | 4.75 - 6.08 |  |  | 5.50 - 6.10 |
Stock volatility |  | 72% - 83% |  |  | 64% - 70% |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.42% - 1.44% |  |  | 0.32% - 1.76% |
Expected dividends |  | 0.0% |  |  | 0.0% |

Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units Time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued to date under the 2016 Plan generally vest on a ratable annual basis over 3 years. The related stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The fair value of all time-vested RSUs is based on the closing share price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The following table provides a reconciliation of RSU activity under the 2016 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2021:
|  | Number of Restricted Stock Units |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at January 1, 2021 |  |  | 149,004 |  |  | $ | 13.85 |
Granted |  |  | 242,399 |  |  |  | 12.96 |
Vested |  |  | (89,795 | ) |  |  | 13.76 |
Forfeited |  |  | (10,033 | ) |  |  | 12.15 |
Nonvested at December 31, 2021 |  |  | 291,575 |  |  | $ | 13.19 |
The weighted-average remaining vesting term of the RSUs at December 31, 2021 was 1.37 years. Deferred Stock Units There were no non-vested deferred stock units (“DSUs”) issued and outstanding to the Company’s non-executive directors at each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Each DSU vests one year from the date of grant. Subsequent to vesting, the DSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) each director’s termination of service on the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) the occurrence of a change of control as defined in the award agreement. At December 31, 2021, there was no vested DSUs that have not been settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On June 25, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and authorized up to 110,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to participating employees. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 22, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 250,000 shares. The ESPP allows qualified participants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock twice a year at 85% of the lesser of the average of the high and low sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on (i) the first trading day of the relevant offering period and (ii) the last trading day of the relevant offering period. The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock each employee may purchase under this plan, when combined with all other employee stock purchase plans, is limited to the lower of an aggregate fair market value of $25,000 during each calendar year, or 5,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in any one offering period. The Company has maintained consecutive six-month offering periods since August 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2021, 43,365 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued pursuant to the ESPP. The Company estimated the fair value of the option component of the ESPP shares at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the compensation expense from ESPP shares was $113,000. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the compensation expense from ESPP shares was immaterial. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company’s statements of comprehensive loss included total compensation expense from stock-based payment awards as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |  |  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |

At December 31, 2021, there was approximately $9.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards under the 2016 Plan, the 2008 Plan, The inducement awards and the ESPP that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.
