Stock incentive plan

The Company currently maintains the 2012 equity incentive plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to approve grants of equity-based awards to our officers, directors, and employees of our Manager and its affiliates. The equity incentive plan provides for grants of equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis.

The Company’s current policy for issuing shares upon settlement of stock-based incentive awards is to issue new shares. The fair value of the RSUs and RSAs granted, which is determined based upon the stock price on the grant date, is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods for the awards, with an offsetting increase in stockholders’ equity.

The table below summarizes RSU and RSA activity.

The Company recognized $2.1 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively and $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to its stock-based incentive plan in our consolidated statements of income.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $14.6 million and $13.5 million, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to unvested awards had not yet been charged to net income. These costs are expected to be amortized into compensation expense ratably over the course of the remaining vesting periods.

Performance-based equity awards

In February 2021, the Company granted, to certain key employees, 43,327 shares of performance-based equity awards which are allocated 50% to awards that vest based on absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year forward-looking period ending December 31, 2023 and 50% to awards that vest based on TSR for such three-year forward-looking performance period relative to the performance of a designated peer group. Subject to the absolute and relative TSR achieved during the vesting period, the actual number of shares that the key employees receive at the end of the period may range from 0% to 300% of the target shares granted.

The fair value of the performance-based equity awards granted is recorded as compensation expense and will cliff vest at the end of a three year vesting period, with an offsetting increase in stockholders’ equity.

In February 2022, the Company granted, to certain key employees 84,566 shares of performance-based equity awards which are allocated 50% to awards that vest based on return metrics and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year forward-looking period ending December 31, 2024 and 50% to awards that vest based on TSR for such three-year forward-looking performance period relative to the performance of a designated peer group. Subject to the return metrics and relative TSR achieved during the vesting period, the actual number of shares that the key employees receive at the end of the period may range from 0% to 300% of the target shares granted.

The fair value of the performance-based equity awards granted is recorded as compensation expense and will cliff vest at the end of a three year vesting period, with an offsetting increase in stockholders’ equity.

Preferred Stock

In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, any outstanding preferred stock ranks senior to the outstanding common stock with respect to payment of dividends and the distribution of assets.

We classify Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, on our balance sheets using the guidance in ASC 480‑10‑S99. Our Series C Preferred Stock contains certain fundamental change provisions that allow the holder to redeem the preferred stock for cash only if certain events occur, such as a change in control. As of June 30, 2022, the conversion rate was 1.1626 shares of common stock per $25 principal amount of the Series C Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.50 per share of common stock. As redemption under these circumstances is not solely within our control, we have classified our Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity. We have analyzed whether the conversion features should be bifurcated under the guidance in ASC 815‑10 and have determined that bifurcation is not necessary.

The table below presents details on preferred equity by series.
