Restricted Shares Restricted shares granted on June 30, 2015 On June 12, 2015, the Board of Director approved the CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") for Employees, Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is ten million (10,000,000) Shares. On June 30, 2015, pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 690,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001, to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company with a fair value of $3.24 per share on June 30, 2015. In accordance with the vesting schedule of the grant, the restricted shares will vest in twelve equal quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning on June 30, 2015 (i.e. last vesting period: quarter ended March 31, 2018). The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expenses on a graded-vesting method. All the restricted shares granted in respect of the restricted shares granted on June 30, 2015 had been vested on March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2020, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation associated with the above restricted shares. As of June 30, 2020, 1,667 vested shares were to be issued. Restricted shares granted on April 19, 2016 On April 19, 2016, pursuant to the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") granted an aggregate of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Restricted Shares"), to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company, of which 220,000 restricted shares were granted to the Company's executive officers and directors. There are three types of vesting schedules. First, if the number of restricted shares granted is below 3,000, the shares will vest annually in 2 equal installments over a two year period with the first vesting on June 30, 2017. Second, if the number of restricted shares granted is larger than or equal to 3,000 and is below 10,000, the shares will vest annually in 3 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on June 30, 2017. Third, if the number of restricted shares granted is above or equal to 10,000, the shares will vest semi-annually in 6 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on December 31, 2016. The fair value of these restricted shares was $2.68 per share on April 19, 2016. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expenses over the vesting period (or the requisite service period) on a graded-vesting method. The Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of $18,422 and $36,641 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in respect of the restricted shares granted on April 19, 2016. No such non-cash share-based compensation expense was recognised for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, in respect of the restricted shares granted on April 19, 2016. As of June 30, 2020, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation associated with the above restricted shares. As of June 30, 2020, 4,167 vested shares were to be issued. Restricted shares granted on August 23, 2019 On August 23, 2019, pursuant to the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 1,887,000 restricted share units of the Company's common stock to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company, of which 710,000 restricted share units were granted to the Company's executive officers and directors. There are two types of vesting schedules, (i) the share units will vest semi-annually in 6 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on September 30, 2019; (ii) the share units will vest annual in 3 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on March 31, 2021. The fair value of these restricted shares was $0.9 per share on August 23, 2019. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expenses over the vesting period (or the requisite service period) on a graded-vesting method. The Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of $153,961 and $454,096 for three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, in respect of the restricted shares granted on August 23, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, non-vested restricted share units granted on August 23, 2019 are as follows:
Non-vested shares as of January 1, 2020 |  |  | 1,505,833 |
Granted |  |  | - |
Vested |  |  | (293,498 | )
Forfeited |  |  | (58,333 | )
Non-vested shares as of June 30, 2020 |  |  | 1,154,002 |
As of June 30, 2020, there was unrecognized stock-based compensation of $510,732 associated with the above restricted shares. As of June 30, 2020, no vested shares were to be issued. As the Company itself is an investment holding company which is not expected to generate operating profits to realize the tax benefits arising from its net operating loss carried forward, no income tax benefits were recognized for such stock-based compensation cost under the stock option plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.
