Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

2. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 1,336,500 and 188,542 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units, respectively, under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 representing a fair market value of $8.4 million. Of the total 1,525,042 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units issued in the six month period ended June 30, 2014, 1,161,450 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant, 35,592 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over thirteen months from the grant date and 328,000 shares of restricted common stock were granted to certain employees through the long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) as long-term performance-based stock incentive awards under the Corporation’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, restrictions with respect to the stock will generally lapse upon the achievement of revenue and profitability targets within the two calendar years from and including the year of grant. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals and records expense accordingly. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee in accordance with the forfeiture table per the grant agreements.
