The 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 12, 2016 (the “Adoption Date”), provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan plus any additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were available for grant under the 2008 Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) at the Adoption Date or would otherwise become available for grant under the 2008 Plan as a result of subsequent termination or forfeiture of awards under the 2008 Plan. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 25, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 11,000,000 shares. At June 30, 2020, a total of approximately 5.8 million shares were available for new awards.

Certain inducement awards, although not awarded under the 2016 Plan or the 2008 Plan, are subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan or 2008 Plan, as applicable.

The following table provides a reconciliation of stock option activity under the Company’s equity incentive plans and for inducement awards for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

In January 2019, the Company expanded the terms of its annual stock option grants to include vesting ratable monthly over four years, or with 25% vesting after one year followed by ratable monthly vesting over three years. Previously, the Company’s option grants generally had ratable annual vesting over three years, or 1-year cliff vesting. Nonemployee awards are granted similar to the Company’s employee awards. All option grants have a 10-year term. Options to purchase a total of 1,385,308 shares of the Company’s Common Stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In determining the grant date fair value of option awards during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following key assumptions:

The following table summarizes information about employee, non-executive director and external consultant stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands, except per share amount):

Time-vested restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) issued to date under the 2016 Plan generally vest on a ratable annual basis over 3 years. The related stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The fair value of all time-vested RSUs is based on the closing share price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.

The following table provides a reconciliation of RSU activity under the 2016 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

				Weighted
	Number of			Average
	Restricted			Grant Date
	Stock Units			Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020		786,899		$	1.83
Granted		1,437,750			1.29
Vested		(697,505	)		1.53
Forfeited		(63,623	)		1.85
Nonvested at June 30, 2020		1,463,521		$	1.44

At June 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining vesting term of the RSUs was 1.21 years.

There were no non-vested deferred stock units (“DSUs”) issued and outstanding to the Company’s non-executive directors at each of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Each DSU vests one year from the date of grant. Subsequent to vesting, the DSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) each director’s termination of service on the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) the occurrence of a change of control as defined in the award agreement. At June 30, 2020, there were 45,001 vested DSUs that have not been settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

On June 25, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and authorized up to 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to participating employees. The ESPP allows qualified participants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock twice a year at 85% of the lesser of the average of the high and low sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on (i) the first trading day of the relevant offering period and (ii) the last trading day of the relevant offering period. The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock each employee may purchase under this plan, when combined with all other employee stock purchase plans, is limited to the lower of an aggregate fair market value of $25,000 during each calendar year, or 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in any one offering period. The first six month offering period under the ESPP began on August 1, 2019 and ended on January 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 161,660 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued pursuant to the ESPP.

The Company estimated the fair value of the option component of the ESPP shares at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the compensation expense from ESPP shares was immaterial, respectively.

The Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss included total compensation expense from stock-based payment awards for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019		2020		2019
Compensation expense included in:
Research and development	$	(49	)	$	268	$	214	$	664
Sales and marketing		141			179		393		323
General and administrative		643			1,049		1,288		1,747
	$	735		$	1,496	$	1,895	$	2,734

At June 30, 2020, there was approximately 4.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards under the 2016 Plan, the 2008 Plan, the inducement awards and the ESPP that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.52 years.
