Restricted Stock Units | Note 21: Restricted Stock Units On December 7, 2020, the Company granted 9,075,000 shares of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) with a fair market value of $12.6 million to certain employees and officers. Of such RSUs, 7,500,000 were issued to Andy Heyward, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and were to vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of December 7, 2020, subject to his continued employment (the “service-based awards”). The CEO also received an additional 7,500,000 RSUs that vested in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of December 7, 2020, based on achievement of certain performance goals (the “performance-based awards”), which have not been established at the time the CEO and the Company entered into the arrangement, and subject to his continued employment. As the performance conditions have not been established for the performance-based awards, a grant date was not yet established. On February 1, 2021, the Company issued 53,763 RSUs with a fair market value of $74,193. On June 23, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors amended the service-based awards granted to the CEO, such that 3,750,000 of such RSUs shall continue to vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of December 7, 2020, subject to his continued employment and the remaining 3,750,000 RSUs shall be modified to vest based on performance or market conditions. The previously issued 7,500,000 performance-based awards, along with the 3,750,000 modified service-based awards, shall vest as follows: (i) 3,750,000 RSUs vest when the Company’s common stock closing sale price equals or exceeds $3.00 per share or the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds $903,000,000 for 20 consecutive trading days; (ii) 3,750,000 RSUs vest when the Company’s common stock closing sale price equals or exceeds $3.50 per share or the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds $1,053,500,000 for 20 consecutive trading days, and (iii) 3,750,000 RSUs vest when the Company’s common stock closing sale price equals or exceeds $3.75 per share or the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds $1,128,750,000 for 20 consecutive trading days (the “market conditions”). In addition to the stock price and market capitalization vesting conditions set forth above, such 11,250,000 RSUs may also vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of December 7, 2020, based on achievement of certain operating performance-based vesting conditions established by the Compensation Committee on June 23, 2021 and subject to his continued employment, adjusted pro-ratably for vesting pursuant to the market conditions. As a result of these modifications, the RSUs subject to the market conditions were valued at $15.6 million with a derived service period of 12 months, using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. On June 24, 2021, the Company issued 213,636 shares of RSUs with a fair market value of $0.4 million. The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
