3 Months Ended

Note 10

Stock-based Compensation:

The Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (“2016 Plan”), as amended, has reserved up to 7,832,651 shares of common stock for future issuance. As of March 31, 2023, there were 3,203,706 shares of common stock remaining available for issuance for awards under the 2016 Plan.

The Company measures stock‑based awards at their grant‑date fair value and records compensation expense on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company recorded stock‑based compensation expense of $282 and $368 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company also recorded share-based compensation expense of $43 within selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On March 30, 2022, the Company granted 160,000 stock-based options to the Chief Executive Officer. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon meeting one or more financial goals (a performance condition) or a common stock share price (a market condition). The fair value of stock-based awards is determined at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded ratably for market condition awards during the requisite service period and is not reversed, except for forfeitures, at the vesting date regardless of whether the market condition is met. The market condition was not met and 60,000 of the stock-based options were forfeited during 2022. Stock-based compensation expense for performance condition awards is re-evaluated at each reporting period based on the probability of the achievement of the goal.
