Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units (“CSRSUs”)
In December 2020, the Company granted CSRSUs under the 2017 Plan to certain employees. CSRSUs vest in equal installments over a three-year period from the grant date, and are cash-settled upon vesting based on the Company’s common stock closing share price on the vesting date.
The CSRSUs are accounted for as liability awards, and compensation expense is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period net of forfeitures. Compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in the Company’s common stock closing share price.

Performance Cash Awards (“PCAs”)
In November 2019, the Company granted PCAs under the 2017 Plan to certain employees. The PCAs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant based on the Company’s achievement of certain financial performance goals for the performance period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022, subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to acceleration provisions of the 2017 Plan. At the end of the three-year performance period, the amount of PCAs that actually vest will be 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending on the extent to which the Company meets or exceeds the achievement of those financial performance goals measured over the full three-year performance period.
The PCAs are measured initially based on a fixed amount of the awards at the date of grant and are required to be re-measured based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting date until settlement. Compensation expense for PCAs is recognized over the applicable performance periods. The Company records a liability equal to the cost of PCAs for which achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable. As of March 31, 2021, the Company reversed the previously recognized nonvested accrued liabilities of $102.2 thousand since it was deemed not probable that the Company will achieve the target performance conditions.

Total compensation expense for PCAs was $29.7 thousand and $46.5 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.
