Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans | Stock-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans Stock-Based Incentive Plans Stockholders approved an increase in shares during its 2023 Annual meeting to long-term incentive plans created in 2018 (the “2018 Plan”) under which the Company may grant equity awards to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and service providers in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and certain other incentive awards. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under long-term incentive plans created in 2020 and 2019 (the “2020 Plan” and “2019 Plan,” respectively) and 2018 Plan are 0.5 million, 0.2 million, and 1.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an aggregate of 0.6 million and 0.7 million shares remaining, respectively, to be granted under the 2020 Plan, 2019 Plan and 2018 Plan. Stock Options All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 0.1 million market-based stock options and 0.1 million performance-based stock options were granted compared to none during the year ended December 31, 2022. The market-based and performance-based options are restricted until criteria defined in the stock option agreements are met. Proceeds received from stock option exercises are credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital, as appropriate. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. Estimates are adjusted when actual forfeitures differ from the estimate. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for all equity awards expected to vest. During the year ended December 31, 2023 no stock options vested compared to 0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The total fair value of the stock options that vested was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

Certain time-vested shares have also been issued with a portion of the shares granted vesting immediately. •Market-based restricted shares are issued with criteria defined over a designated period and vest only when, and if, the outlined criteria are met. Restricted stock share activity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

The total fair value of restricted stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The grant-date fair value is the market price of the shares on the date of grant. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.7 million and $0.4 million. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2023 consist of only time-vesting awards. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was approved by stockholders in 2012. The Company registered 500,000 shares of its common stock, currently held as treasury shares, for issuance under the ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP allows participants to purchase common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the last business day of a three-month offering period which coincides with calendar quarters. Payroll deductions may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation. In addition, for each calendar year, an employee may not be granted purchase rights valued over $25,000, as determined at the time such purchase right is granted. The fair value of the discount associated with shares purchased under the plan is recognized as stock-based compensation expense and was $14 thousand and $10 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total fair value of the shares purchased under the plan during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The employee payment associated with participation in the plan occurs through payroll deductions. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit grants and stock purchased under the Company’s ESPP was $(0.3) million and $3.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 included an adjustment for actual forfeitures of $1.6 million that reduced the total stock-compensation expense. During 2023, the Company settled vested equity awards of a terminated officer through a cash payment. The cash payment was made to the employee in lieu of the equity awards, which were previously granted and vested. The settlement amount was determined based on the fair value of the equity awards at the time of termination. The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to value the vested equity awards. This transaction resulted in a reduction of the Company's equity awards liability and a corresponding outflow of cash for $617 thousand. The key inputs to the Black-Scholes Model used to estimate the fair value of the vested equity awards, as of the date of the termination were as follows:
|  |  | January 19, 2023 |  |  |  |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 3.79 | % |  |  |  |
Expected volatility of common stock |  |  | 90.00 | % |  |  |  |
Expected life of options in years |  |  | 6.92 |  |  |  |
Stock price (pre-Reverse Stock Split basis) |  |  | $ | 1.37 |  |  |  |  |
Strike Price |  |  | $ | 1.93 |  |  |  |  |
401(k) Retirement Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for the benefit of eligible employees in the U.S. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan upon employment. The Company currently matches contributions at 100% of up to 2% of an employee’s compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, compensation expense included $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the Company’s 401(k) match.
