The Company has previously granted RSUs underlying
366,356
shares of Class A common stock as of
December 31, 2017.
These RSUs (or a portion thereof) vest with respect to each recipient over a
one
to
three
year period from the date of grant, provided the recipient remains in the employment or service of the Company as of the vesting date and, in selected instances, certain performance criteria are attained. Additionally, these RSUs (or a portion thereof) could vest earlier in the event of a change in control of the Company, or upon involuntary termination without cause. Of the
366,356
previously granted RSUs, RSUs underlying
267,413
shares of Class A common stock have vested or were cancelled as of
December 31, 2017.
During the
twelve
months ended
December 31, 2018,
34,755
RSUs were granted by the Company. There were
no
RSUs granted by the Company during
2019.
The previous RSU grants were made primarily to executive-level personnel at the Company and, as a result,
no
compensation costs have been capitalized.

Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs was
$167
thousand and
$290
thousand for the years ended
December 31, 2019,
and
2018,
respectively. Stock-based compensation related to RSUs is recognized over the
39
-month vesting schedule. Accounting standards require that the Company estimate forfeitures for RSUs and reduce compensation expense accordingly. The Company has reduced its expense by the assumed forfeiture rate and will evaluate actual experience against the assumed forfeiture rate going forward. The forfeiture rate has been developed using historical performance metrics which could impact the size of the final issuance of Class A common stock. The Company has
no
history before
2014
with RSU forfeiture.
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
and
2018,
the unrecognized total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was
$48
thousand and
$216
thousand, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized by the end of
2021.
 
The tax benefit recognized with respect to RSUs during the years ended
December 31, 2019,
and
2018,
was
$68
thousand and
$144
thousand, respectively.
 
On
October 15, 2018,
the Company granted
29,460
incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and
20,540
non-qualified (“NQ”) stock options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. These options vest with respect to the recipient thereof over a
five
year period with
20%
becoming exercisable on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date of
October 15, 2019,
provided the recipient remains in the employment or service of the Company as of the vesting date. Additionally, these options (or a portion thereof) could vest earlier in the event of a change in control of the Company. These option grants were made to
one
executive-level employee of the Company and, as a result,
no
compensation costs have been capitalized.
