Stock-Based Payments

4.    STOCK-BASED PAYMENTS

On May 15, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (as amended, the “2018 Plan”), which was effective upon approval by the stockholders of the Company on June 28, 2018 and under which an aggregate of 153,031 shares could be issued. This share reserve was the sum of 85,714 new shares, plus the 67,317 shares that remained available for issuance at the time of approval under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), the predecessor incentive plan at the time of the adoption of the 2018 Plan. On April 20, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved an amendment, which was effective upon approval by the stockholders of the Company on May 25, 2021, authorizing an additional 565,000 shares to be issued under the 2018 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant stock options, as well as awards of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock equivalent units and performance-based cash awards. These awards may be granted to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants. Vesting and the term of an option is determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2018 Plan, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2016 Plan, the predecessor incentive plan. However, outstanding stock options granted prior to the effective date of the 2018 Plan are still governed by the 2016 Plan or the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, which preceded the 2016 Plan.

As of June 30, 2021, there was an aggregate of 127,328 shares of common stock remaining available for grant under the Company’s 2018 Plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 532,068 stock options to employees and directors of which 5,500 were forfeited. The Company issued no stock options to consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Employee and Director Stock Options                                                                                                         As of June 30, 2021, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested time-based stock options outstanding for employees and directors, was $3.9 million which will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of approximately 3.5 years. As of June 30, 2021, the unrecognized compensation cost related to performance-based stock options for employees was $1.2 million. Recognition of compensation expense for performance-based stock options will commence at the time it is determined to be probable that the performance conditions will be met. Compensation cost is not adjusted for estimated forfeitures, but instead is adjusted upon an actual forfeiture of a stock option.  

The weighted average grant date fair value of employee and director stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $11.27 per option and the grant date fair values of these stock options were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

Consultant Stock Options

As of June 30, 2021, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options outstanding for non-employees was $13 thousand which will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of approximately 0.3 years. Compensation cost is not adjusted for estimated forfeitures, but instead is adjusted upon an actual forfeiture of a stock option.

 

Restricted Stock Units

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, certain members of the Company’s executive management team elected to receive RSUs in lieu of cash compensation under the 2018 Plan that vest upon issuance. The fair value of the RSUs was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant. Subsequent to the March 31, 2021 pay period, no members of the Company’s executive management team continued to elect to receive RSUs in lieu of cash compensation.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company granted 2,668 RSUs to an officer of the Company under the 2018 Plan that were scheduled to vest on October 2, 2021. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company granted 5,622 RSUs to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy which will vest in twelve monthly installments on the last day of each month. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant.
