Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS

We are externally managed by our Manager and do not currently have any employees. However, as of September 30, 2024, our Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors were compensated, in part, through our issuance of stock-based instruments.

Under our two current stock incentive plans, a maximum of 10,400,000 shares of our class A common stock may be issued to our Manager, our directors and officers, and certain employees of affiliates of our Manager. As of September 30, 2024, there were 7,310,409 shares available under our current stock incentive plans. Prior to the adoption and shareholder approval of our new stock incentive plans in June 2022, we had stock-based incentive awards outstanding under nine stock incentive plans. In connection with the adoption of our new stock incentive plans, we consolidated all outstanding deferred stock units, or DSUs, under the new plans and retired the seven remaining historical plans. As such, no new awards may be issued under these expired plans, although our 2018 plans will continue to govern outstanding awards, other than DSUs, previously issued thereunder until such awards become vested or expire.

The following table details the movement in our outstanding shares of restricted class A common stock and the weighted-average grant date fair value per share:


	Restricted Class A Common Stock	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share




Balance as of December 31, 2023	2,180,181	$	24.41
Granted	504,385	21.13
Vested	(954,881)	25.21
Forfeited	(102,484)	24.18
Balance as of September 30, 2024	1,627,201	$	22.94

These shares generally vest in installments over a period of three years, pursuant to the terms of the respective award agreements and the terms of our current benefit plans. The 1,627,201 shares of restricted class A common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 will vest as follows: 304,887 shares will vest in 2024; 881,763 shares will vest in 2025; and 440,551 shares will vest in 2026. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost relating to

unvested share-based compensation arrangements was $35.5 million based on the grant date fair value of shares granted. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years from September 30, 2024.
