STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Pursuant 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, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders and replaced the 2019 Plan. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Company will continue to grant equity awards covering 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 $8.2 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Share-based compensation expenses were $27.6 million and $24.6 million for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company periodically issues restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs ("Performance RSUs") to certain key employees. The RSUs vest solely due to continued service over time. The Performance RSUs generally vest upon the achievement of certain total stockholder return goals, Adjusted EBITDA goals, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals, and continued service. The majority of these awards are being measured over an approximately 3-year period from the date of issuance, while certain Performance RSUs are measured over a 50-month period from the date of issuance. On May 18, 2023, the Company issued additional RSUs and Performance RSUs to certain key employees.

The following table presents the Company's total share based compensation expense by award type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

As of September 30, 2023, there was $36.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements with vesting based solely on service conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $22.3 million for the Performance RSUs related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on certain performance and service conditions. These costs will be recognized over a 3-year or 50-month period from the date of issuance.
Special Warrants
Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy in 2019 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 mentioned in Note 6 above, on November 5, 2020, the FCC issued the 2020 Declaratory Ruling, which permits the Company to be up to 100% foreign owned.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were 9,185 and 9,383 Special Warrants, respectively, exercised for shares of Class A common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were none and 59 Special Warrants, respectively, exercised for shares of Class B common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, stockholders exercised 85,141 and 96,516 Special Warrants, respectively, for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were 96,602 Special Warrants exercised for shares of Class B common stock.
