        On February 18, 2015, the date of the completion of the Company's IPO, the Company's 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") became effective. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to the Company's employees and any parent and subsidiary employees, and for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards (including annual cash incentives and long-term cash incentives), and any combination thereof to the Company's employees, directors, and consultants and to employees, directors, and consultants of certain affiliated entities. The Company has reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan shares of its Class A common stock equal to the sum of: (i) 7,335,430 shares of Class A common stock; and (ii) the number of shares of its Class A common stock in respect of the number of shares of its common stock underlying awards granted under the Company's 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was terminated upon completion of the IPO, (6,940,055 as of June 30, 2015), that are forfeited, canceled, or expire (whether voluntarily or involuntarily).

Restricted Stock Awards

        On May 28, 2015, the Company granted 71,946 RSAs pursuant to the 2015 Plan. RSAs granted to directors fully vest upon the one year anniversary of the award grant date, and RSAs granted to employees vest ratably over five years on each anniversary of the award grant date. Upon vesting, the Company will deliver shares of the Company's Class A common stock to the holders. Pursuant to the terms of the awards, any unvested shares terminate upon the RSA holders' separation from the Company. The grant date fair value of the RSAs was $2,000, in aggregate, or $27.80 per RSA. The Company will recognize share-based compensation expense following the straight-line method, net of estimated forfeitures over the requisite service period. The Company estimates future forfeitures at the date of grant and revises the estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Pursuant to the terms of the awards, any unvested shares terminate upon the RSU holders' separation from the Company. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was $2,337, in aggregate, or $30.64 per RSU. The Company will recognize share-based compensation expense following the straight-line method, net of estimated forfeitures over the requisite service period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        On February 18, 2015, the date of the completion of the Company's IPO, the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2015 ESPP") became effective. The 2015 ESPP provides for six-month purchase periods (commencing each March 1 and September 1) and that the purchase price for shares of Class A common stock purchased under the 2015 ESPP will be 85% of the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the last day of the applicable offering period. Eligible employees will be able to select a rate of payroll deduction between 1% and 15% of their base cash compensation subject to a maximum payroll deduction per offering period of $7,500. The 2015 ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Code. The Company reserved 1,833,857 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the 2015 ESPP.
