(8) Share-based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plans

Prior to its expiration, the Company maintained the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2013 Equity Plan”), under which the Company’s employees, officers, and directors were awarded various types of share-based compensation, including options to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. In May 2023, the 2013 Equity Plan expired and no new awards may be granted under the 2013 Equity Plan, although awards previously granted under the 2013 Equity Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

The Company maintains the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2023 Equity Plan”) under which the Company’s employees, officers, directors, and other eligible participants may be awarded various types of share-based compensation, including options to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and other stock-based awards. An aggregate of up to 19,327,030 shares of the Company’s class A common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2023 Equity Plan. As of March 31, 2025, there were 2,768,783 shares of class A common stock reserved and available for future issuance under the 2023 Equity Plan. The 2013 Equity Plan and the 2023 Equity Plan together are referred to herein as the “Stock Incentive Plans.”

As of March 31, 2025, there were options to purchase 4,560,073 shares of class A common stock outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plans.

No performance stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in share-based compensation expense from performance stock units granted under the 2023 Equity Plan.

Other stock-based awards and cash-settled restricted stock units

From time to time the Company has granted “other stock-based awards” and “cash-settled restricted stock units” under the 2013 Equity Plan. Other stock-based awards are similar to stock options, and cash-settled restricted stock units are similar to the Company’s share-settled restricted stock units, except in each case these awards are settled in cash only and not in shares of the Company’s class A common stock. Due to their required cash settlement feature, these awards are classified as liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the fair value of the awards is remeasured each quarterly reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a reduction of approximately $1.1 million and expense of approximately $1.8 million in share-based compensation expense from other stock-based awards and cash-settled restricted stock units, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, there were no other stock-based awards or cash-settled restricted stock units outstanding and there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense.

2021 ESPP

The Company also maintains the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”). The purpose of the 2021 ESPP is to provide eligible employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with opportunities to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock in 6-month offering periods commencing on each March 1 and September 1. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock has been authorized for issuance under the 2021 ESPP. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 25,998 shares of class A common stock were issued in connection with the 2021 ESPP. As of March 31, 2025, 476,404 shares of the Company’s class A common stock remained available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to the 2021 ESPP. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $0.9 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to the 2021 ESPP, which the Company expects to recognize over a period of approximately 0.4 years.
