Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity | No te 6: Stockholders' Equity (a) Common Stock and Authorized Capital The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company has authority to issue is 138,500,000 shares, consisting of (i) 137,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 12,500,000 shares are designated Class A common stock and 125,000,000 shares are designated Class B common stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company’s board of directors has the authority to designate rights, privileges and restrictions of each such series, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. The Company has two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Except with respect to voting rights, the Class A and Class B shares have identical rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to twenty-five votes per share, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class A common stock is convertible at the holder’s option into one share of Class B common stock. In accordance with the stockholders’ agreement signed by the founding Class A common stockholders, the following provisions survived the Company’s initial public offering: Class A stockholders other than Russell C. Horowitz may only sell, assign or transfer their Class A stock to existing Class A stockholders or to the Company and in the event of transfers of Class A stock not expressly permitted by the stockholders’ agreement, such shares of Class A stock shall be converted into shares of Class B common stock. In November 2014, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program (“2014 Repurchase Program”), which superseded and replaced any prior repurchase programs. Under the 2014 Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock in the aggregate through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The 2014 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be expanded, limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company made no repurchases under the 2014 Repurchase Program for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Shares repurchased but not yet retired by the Company are classified as treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheet before retirement. Retirement of treasury stock results in reductions to common stock and additional paid-in capital. (b) Stock Option Plan The Company’s active stock incentive plan (“2021 Plan”), which was established in 2021, allows for grants of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards to eligible participants and such options may be designated as incentive or non-qualified stock options at the discretion of the 2021 Plan’s Administrative Committee. Prior to the 2021 Plan, the Company granted stock-based awards under its 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”). No further awards were made under the 2012 Plan after December 31, 2021. The 2021 Plan authorizes up to 3,500,000 shares of Class B common stock that may be issued with respect to awards granted under the 2021 Plan, and provides that the total number of shares of Class B common stock for which options designated as incentive stock options may be granted shall not exceed 3,500,000 shares. Annual increases to each of these share limits are to be added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022 equal to 3% of the outstanding common stock (including for this purpose any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding capital stock of the Company) or in the case of incentive stock options, the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, or (ii) 3% of the outstanding common stock (including for this purpose any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding capital stock of the Company), or (iii) such number as determined by the Company’s board of directors. As a result of this provision, the authorized number of shares available under the 2021 Plan was increased by 1,299,680 and 1,294,725 on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively, bringing the aggregate authorized number of shares available under the 2021 Plan to 7,355,971 and 6,056,291 on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company may issue new shares or reissue treasury shares for stock option exercises and restricted stock grants. Generally, stock options have 10-year terms and vest 25% each year either annually or quarterly, over a 4-year period and restricted stock awards and units vest 25% each year annually over a 4-year period. The Company did no t grant any options with exercise prices less than the then current market value during 2024 or 2023. The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation has been included in the same lines as compensation paid to the same employees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation expense was included in the following operating expense categories:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
(In Thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Cost of revenue |  | $ | 24 |  |  | $ | 2 |
Sales and marketing |  |  | 308 |  |  |  | 663 |
Product development |  |  | 54 |  |  |  | 114 |
General and administrative |  |  | 1,321 |  |  |  | 1,614 |
Total stock-based compensation |  | $ | 1,707 |  |  | $ | 2,393 |
Stock-based compensation expense as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, varies from the reported Stock-based compensation from options and restricted stock, net of forfeitures in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2023, because of a reclassification of a $0.8 million payment owed to a former employee in connection with the Sonar acquisition. This payment was to be made, at the Company's election, in any mix of cash or restricted stock. The Company had previously determined its intent and ability to settle this obligation in restricted stock; however, in December 2023, the Company chose to settle in cash, resulting in a reclassification of this payment obligation from Additional paid-in capital to Other accrued expenses and current liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Balance Sheets. This caused a decrease to Stock-based compensation from options and restricted stock, net of forfeitures in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, with no corresponding decrease in stock-based compensation as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the per share fair value of stock option grants with time-based vesting. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the expected life of each award granted was determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to contractual terms, anticipated exercise patterns, and vesting schedules. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility levels of the Company’s Class B common stock and the expected volatility of companies in similar industries that have similar vesting and contractual terms. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses an expected annual dividend yield in consideration of the Company’s common stock dividend payments, which we consider to be zero. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of time-vested stock options granted for the periods indicated:
|  | Year Ended December 31,
|  | 2024 |  | 2023
Expected life (in years) |  | 4.00 - 6.25 |  | 4.00 - 6.25
Risk-free interest rate |  | 3.93% - 4.43% |  | 3.86% - 3.93%
Expected volatility |  | 57% - 64% |  | 57% - 64%
Stock option activity during the period is as follows:
| Options (in thousands) |  | Weighted average exercise price of options |  | Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years)
Balance at December 31, 2023 | 5,395 |  | $2.21 |  | 7.39
Options granted | 2,012 |  | 1.61 |  |
Options forfeited | (180) |  | 1.63 |  |
Options expired | (188) |  | 6.84 |  |
Options exercised | — |  |  |  |
Balance at December 31, 2024 | 7,039 |  | $1.91 |  | 7.57
As of December 31, 2024, there was $3.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.59 years. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit activity during the period is as follows:
|  | Shares/ Units (In Thousands) |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unvested at December 31, 2023 |  |  | 782 |  |  | $ | 1.94 |
Granted |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Vested |  |  | (361 | ) |  |  | 1.96 |
Forfeited |  |  | (15 | ) |  |  | 1.46 |
Unvested at December 31, 2024 |  |  | 406 |  |  | $ | 2.04 |
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are generally measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of awards granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period, as applicable, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive one share of the Company’s Class B common stock upon satisfaction of certain service conditions. As of December 31, 2024, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock. These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.08 years.
