Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-based Compensation The Company's stock-based compensation is in accordance with the Company's amended 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which the Compensation Committee of the Company is authorized to grant up to 13.7 million shares to officers and employees of the Company, in the form of equity-based awards, including time or performance based options and

restricted stock. In addition, the Company may grant cash-settled awards, including stock-appreciation rights (SARs) and phantom stock awards.

In June 2019, the Company's shareholders approved the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which was effective July 1, 2019. In August 2021, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was increased to 1.25 million. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discount of up to 15% through payroll deductions of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of each year, and each offering period consists of a six-month purchase period. On each purchase date, eligible employees may purchase the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the common stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of the common stock on the purchase date. As of June 30, 2022, 564,233 shares had been issued under the ESPP.

Stock compensation expense for equity-classified and liability-classified awards was $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense for equity-classified and liability-classified awards was $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense is recognized in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. At June 30, 2022, there was $8.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost relating to outstanding unvested equity instruments expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.1 years.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted the following share-based awards to members of management and employees. These awards will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock and are equity-classified. The grant date fair value of the time-based awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The grant date fair value of the performance-based awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the probability of achieving the performance condition.
