The Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the TRSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company began granting TRSUs in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Performance-based RSUs ("PSUs")

In October 2021, the Company granted 435,000 PSUs as recognition awards to executive employees with an aggregated grant date fair value of $2.3 million. 50% of the PSUs granted will vest within one year of the grant date upon achievement of certain specific milestones ("Tranche 1") and the remaining 50% will vest within two years of the grant date upon achievement of additional company objectives ("Tranche 2"). The Company determined that it is not probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied for each of these Tranches and hence no compensation cost was recorded for these awards for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that the achievement of the milestones for Tranche 1 was probable and hence recorded $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As the achievement of the milestones for Tranche 2 was not considered probable, no compensation cost was recorded for these awards as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
