(1)For the year ended December 31, 2020, long-term incentive award expense includes $10 million of expense for awards settleable in shares of our common stock and $2 million of expense for awards settleable in cash. (2)Acquisition-related equity compensation expense relates to 588,260 shares of restricted stock that were issued to members of CoreVest management as a component of the consideration paid to them for our purchase of their interests in CoreVest. The grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards was $10 million, which will be recognized as compensation expense over the two-year vesting period on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP. (3)Contingent consideration expense relates to the acquisition of 5 Arches during 2019. Refer to Note 2 for additional detail. Cash-Based Retention Awards During the three months ended September 30, 2020, $8 million of cash-based retention awards were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest and be paid over the next three years, subject to continued employment through the vesting periods from 2021 through 2023. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, Cash Performance Awards with an aggregate granted award value of $2 million, were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest between 0% to 400% of granted award value based on a relative total stockholder return measure, and are contingent on continued employment over a three-year service period. The value of the cash-based retention awards is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over each award's respective vesting period. The Cash Performance Awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years; however, they are remeasured at fair value each quarter-end and the cumulative straight-line expense is trued-up in respect to their updated value. For the year ended December 31, 2020, General and administrative expenses included $5 million in aggregate related to the cash-based retention awards and the Cash Performance awards. Cash-Settled Deferred Stock Units In December 2020, $2 million of cash-settled deferred stock units were granted to certain executive officers and non-executive employees that will vest over the next four years through 2024. These awards will be fully vested and payable in cash with a vested award value based on the closing market price of our common stock on December 15, 2024. These awards are classified as a liability in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and will be amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an expense of less than $0.1 million in "Long-term incentive award expense," as presented in Table 21.1 above.
