20. Restricted Unit Awards (“RUAs”)

The Plan, as approved by the BUC holders, permits the grant of RUAs and other awards to the employees of Greystone Manager, the Partnership, or any affiliate of either, and members of the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager for up to 3.0 million BUCs. RUAs are generally granted with vesting conditions ranging from three months to approximately three years. Unvested RUAs are entitled to receive distributions during the restriction period. The RUAs provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control related to the Partnership, the General Partner, or Greystone Manager; or death or disability of the participant. All of the restrictions applicable to the previously unvested RUAs lapsed and all such RUAs became immediately vested and nonforfeitable upon the closing of the previously disclosed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding partnership interests in the General Partner from Burlington Capital LLC (“Burlington”) by Greystone Manager and Greystone AF Holdings, LLC (“Greystone Holdings,” and collectively with Greystone Manager, “Greystone”), which occurred on September 10, 2019.

The fair value of each RUA is estimated on the grant date based on the Partnership’s exchange-listed closing price of the BUCs. The Partnership recognizes compensation expense for the RUAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $3,266,000 and $622,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $3,636,000 and $1,372,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Compensation expense is reported within general and administrative expenses in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
