Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation Expense
 
In
1998,
the Company adopted the
1998
Stock Plan, under which
4,650,000
shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. On
January 12, 2004,
the Board of Directors adopted the
2004
Equity Incentive Plan. A total of
1,750,000
shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to the
2004
Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the shares reserved for issuance under the
2004
Equity Incentive Plan included shares reserved but un-issued under the
1998
Stock Plan and shares returned to the
1998
Stock Plan as the result of termination of options or the repurchase of shares. In
2012
the Company's stockholders approved a “fungible share” provision whereby each full-value award issued under the
2004
Equity Incentive Plan results in a requirement to subtract
2.12
shares from the shares reserved under the plan.
 
Activity under the Company’s Amended and Restated
2004
Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, is summarized as follows:

The Company has a “fungible share” provision in its Amended and Restated
2004
Equity Incentive Plan whereby for each full-value award (RSU/PSU) issued or canceled under the plan requires the subtraction or add back of
2.12
shares from or to the Shares Available for Grant, respectively.
 
Under the Amended and Restated 
2004
Equity Incentive Plan, the Company issued 
412,617
shares of common stock during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
in conjunction with stock options exercised and the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and Performance stock units ("PSUs").
 
As of
September 30, 2018,
there was approximately
$14.5
million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of projected forfeitures, for stock options and stock awards. The expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of
2.53
years. The actual expense recorded in the future
may
be higher or lower based on a number of factors, including actual forfeitures experienced and the degree of achievement of the performance goals related to PSUs granted.
 
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company granted
3,384
RSUs and
3,384
PSUs to non-employees during the 
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
and
7,745
stock options and
2,478
RSUs during the year ended
December 31, 2017.
Stock options typically vest over
4
years at
25%
on the
first
anniversary of the grant date and
1/48th
each month thereafter. The RSUs vest over
4
years at
25%
on each anniversary of the grant date, while vesting of the PSUs is subject to the recipient's continued service and achievement of pre-established metrics. The RSUs, PSUs and stock options were granted in exchange for consulting services to be rendered. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the stock options and stock awards granted to non-employees in an amount equal to the equity instruments fair value when the equity instrument vests.
