In
November 2013,
in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company adopted the
2013
Share Incentive Plan or the
2013
Plan, which provides for the grant of share options, restricted shares, RSUs, and other share-based awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The
2013
Plan was amended at the
2017
annual general meeting of shareholders.
 
During the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2019,
the Company granted
5,000
share options with an exercise price of
$14.59
per share under the
2013
Plan. The weighted-average grant date fair value related to share options granted under the
2013
Plan during the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2019
was
$6.77
per share. Share options generally vest based on the grantee’s continued service with the Company during a specified period following the vesting start date and expire after
ten
years.
 
During the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2019,
the Company did
not
award any RSUs. RSUs vest based on the grantee’s continued service with the Company during a specified period following grant as follows:
40%
on the
second
anniversary of the vesting start date;
30%
on the
third
anniversary of the vesting start date; and
30%
on the
fourth
anniversary of the vesting start date. Share-based compensation expense for these RSUs is calculated based on the grant date market price of the shares and is being recognized over the vesting period.
 
For the
three
month-period ended
March 31, 2019,
the Company incurred shared-based compensation expense related to share options and RSUs of
$649,000
and
$196,000,
respectively. For the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company incurred shared-based compensation expense related to share options and restricted shares/RSUs of
$985,000
and
$839,000,
respectively.
 
As of
March 31, 2019,
there was
$4.1
million and
$2.4
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share options and RSUs, respectively. These costs are expected to be recognized over weighted-average periods of
2
years for option shares and
2
years for RSUs.
