Equity and Stock-Based Compensation | Equity and Stock-Based Compensation Common Stock Dividends—The following table summarizes the common stock dividends declared during the period (in thousands):

Common stock dividends declared | $ | 720 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,440 |  |  | $ | — |  |  |
Restricted Stock—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock awarded to certain employees of Ashford LLC and its affiliates. We also issue common stock to certain of our independent directors, which vests immediately upon issuance. In May 2022, approximately 45,000 shares of common stock were issued to independent directors with a fair value of approximately $252,000, which vested immediately upon grant and have been expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Performance Stock Units—The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. In March 2022, 41,000 PSUs with a fair value of $240,000 and a vesting period of three years were granted. The 2022 awards may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock solely at the option of the Company. During the second quarter, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase to the stock incentive plan, which is sufficient to cover the expected settlements as of June 30, 2022. The 2022 awards, which were originally classified as liability awards, are now classified as equity awards, which resulted in a remeasurement of the award at a new fair value of $229,000. With respect to the 2021 and 2022 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period. The performance criteria for the 2021 and 2022 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature, and the 2021 and 2022 performance grants were issued to non-employees. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, which may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. 8.25% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock—The dividend for all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) is set at $2.0625 per annum per share. The following table summarizes dividends declared (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  |  |
Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock | $ | 825 |  |  | 825 |  |  | $ | 1,650 |  |  | $ | 1,650 |  |  |  |
Stock Repurchases—On December 5, 2017, our board of directors reapproved the stock repurchase program pursuant to which the board of directors granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share having an aggregate value of up to $50 million. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022, $50 million remains authorized by the board of directors pursuant to the December 5, 2017 approval. Standby Equity Distribution Agreement—On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA”), pursuant to which the Company will be able to sell up to 7,780,786 shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Amount”) at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on February 4, 2021, and terminating on the earliest of: (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the SEDA; or (ii) the date on which YA shall have made payment of Advances (as defined in the SEDA) pursuant to the SEDA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Period”). Other than with respect to the Initial Advance (as defined below) the shares sold to YA pursuant to the SEDA would be purchased at 95% of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. “Market Price” shall mean the lowest daily VWAP (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock during the five consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the date the Company submits an advance notice to YA. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date on the principal market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours. At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require YA to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock by delivering a written notice to YA setting forth the Advance Shares (as defined in the SEDA) that the Company desires to issue and sell to YA (the “Advance Notice”). The Company may deliver an Advance Notice for an initial Advance for up to 1,200,000 Advance Shares (the “Initial Advance”). The preliminary purchase price per share for such shares shall be 100% of the average daily VWAP for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Advance Notice. Pursuant to the SEDA, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from any sale of the shares for working capital purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt. There are no other restrictions on future financing transactions. The SEDA does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages. We are not required to pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate YA in connection with the transaction except for a $10,000 structuring fee. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has sold approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock and received proceeds of approximately $10.0 million under the SEDA.
