Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards

 

The Company’s stock incentive plan provides for equity instruments, such as RSUs and PSAs, which grant the right to receive a specified number of shares at specified times. RSUs and PSAs are service-based awards that vest according to the terms of the grant. PSAs have performance-based payout conditions.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU and PSA activity:

For the PSAs vested on March 31, 2022, the actual number of common shares that were issued was determined by multiplying the PSAs at the target level of 100%, as disclosed in this table, by a payout percentage based on the performance-based conditions achieved. The payout percentage was 141% for the 2020-2021 performance period and 93% for the 2021 performance period.

 

The unvested balance of RSUs and PSAs as of December 31, 2022 includes approximately 149,000 PSAs at the target level of 100%. The vesting of these awards is subject to the achievement of specified performance-based conditions, and the actual number of common shares that will ultimately be issued will be determined by multiplying this number of PSAs by a payout percentage ranging from 0% to 200%.

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs and PSAs granted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $30.68, $33.30, and $26.61, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs and PSAs vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $2.4 million, $3.3 million, and $2.0 million, respectively.

 

Based on the estimated level of achievement of the performance targets associated with the PSAs as of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s RSUs and PSAs was $3.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

 

Stock Awards

 

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, stock awards of 11,380 shares, 12,606 shares, and 17,442 shares, respectively, were granted to non-employee directors, which vested immediately upon issuance. The Company recorded compensation expense based on the weighted-average fair market value per share of the awards on the grant date of $30.75 in 2022, $30.94 in 2021, and $25.81 in 2020.
