Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”), we may grant options to purchase common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The maximum number of our Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan, together with RSUs currently outstanding under the LTIP, is a variable number equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis at any one time. Options under the Plan are granted from time to time at the discretion of the Board, with vesting periods and other terms as determined by the Board.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Stock options	$	54	$	12	$	200	$	24
Restricted stock units		192		169		384		403
	$	246	$	181	$	584	$	427

As of June 30, 2018, stock options and RSUs had unrecognized compensation expense of $206 and $475, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 and 1.0 years, respectively.

No stock options were granted for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes the RSUs outstanding under the LTIP as of June 30, 2018:


		Weighted average
	Number	grant-date fair
	of units	value per unit
Unvested - December 31, 2017	1,567,907	$	0.85
Cancelled/forfeited	(101,392)		0.98
Vested, net of shares withheld	(127,942)		0.97
Granted	319,000		0.75
Unvested - June 30, 2018	1,657,573	$	0.81

A portion of the RSU awards vest on a fixed future date provided the recipient continues to be affiliated with Vista on that date. Other RSU awards vest subject to certain performance and market criteria, including the accomplishment of certain corporate objectives and the Company’s share price performance. The minimum vesting period for RSUs is one year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company withheld shares with an equivalent value to meet the employee withholding tax obligations which resulted from RSUs that vested in the period. Shares withheld are considered cancelled/forfeited.

New RSUs will not be granted under the LTIP until the allocation of such awards is duly approved by the shareholders of the Company.
