Equity [Abstract]  
STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITYPursuant to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"), the Company historically granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. On April 21, 2021, our 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders and replaced the 2019 Plan. Pursuant to our 2021 Plan, we will continue to grant restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were $6.0 million and $5.9 million for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the three months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were $17.6 million and $14.7 million for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
In August 2020, the Company issued performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance RSUs") to certain key employees. Such Performance RSUs vest upon the achievement of critical operational (cost savings) improvements and specific environmental, social and governance initiatives, which are being measured over an approximately 18-month period from the date of issuance. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.4 million in relation to these Performance RSUs. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.1 million in relation to these Performance RSUs.
As of September 30, 2021, there was $45.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements with vesting based on service conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years. In addition, as of September 30, 2021, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on certain performance conditions.

Special Warrants
Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 percent of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 percent of the Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any other applicable foreign ownership threshold or (d) violation of any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and
certifications required under the special warrant agreement.  The Communications Act and FCC regulations prohibit foreign entities or individuals from indirectly (i.e., through a parent company) owning or voting more than 25 percent of a licensee’s equity, unless the FCC determines that greater indirect foreign ownership is in the public interest.  As described further in Note 6 above, on July 25, 2019, the Company filed a PDR requesting FCC consent to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership and voting benchmarks. On November 5, 2020, the FCC issued the Declaratory Ruling granting the relief requested by the PDR.
On November 9, 2020, the Company sent Exchange Notices to the holders of Special Warrants, notifying them of the Exchange process. On January 8, 2021, the Company exchanged a portion of the outstanding Special Warrants into Class A common stock or Class B common stock, in compliance with the Declaratory Ruling, the Communications Act and FCC rules. Following the Exchange, the Company’s remaining Special Warrants continue to be exercisable for shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock. See "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors - Regulations imposed by the Communications Act and the FCC limit the amount of foreign individuals or entities that may invest in our capital stock without FCC approval" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and "Part I, Item 1. Business – Regulation of Our Business, Alien Ownership Restrictions" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, stockholders exercised 60,698 and 47,197,139 Special Warrants for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock, respectively. There were no Special Warrants exercised for an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, stockholders exercised 22,337,312 Special Warrants for an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock.

As further described in Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies above, on March 26, 2021, the Company’s Board resolved to take certain actions to limit the rights of the GMEI Investors in order to implement certain conditions required by the FCC. Such actions, included, but are not limited to, suspending all voting rights of GMEI Investors until and unless the FCC releases a declaratory ruling granting specific approval for each of the GMEI Investors to hold more than 5% of the equity and/or voting interests of the Company.
