The Company records stock-based compensation expense for employees in employee compensation and benefits and for non-employee directors in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted to employees a total of 39,827 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, 13,900 options to purchase shares of common stock and performance-based shares with an expected pay-out at target of 13,295 shares of common stock. The fair value of the restricted stock and performance-based share awards was based on a weighted-average fair value per share at the grant date of $378.49 and $360.90, respectively. Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted-average fair value for each option granted was $91.43 per share.

As of September 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested awards was $38.4 million. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

On June 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaces the Company’s 2012 Incentive Plan. An additional 2,500,000 shares are now available under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units, or other stock-based awards as incentives and rewards to encourage employees, consultants and non-employee directors to participate in the long-term success of the Company.
