Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock options

Stock options vest over a prescribed service period and are approved by the Company's board of directors on an award-by-award basis. Options have a prescribed service period generally lasting up to four years, with certain options having a shorter vesting period or vesting immediately upon issuance. Upon the exercise of any stock options, the Company issues shares to the award holder from the pool of authorized but unissued common shares.

The fair values of options granted during the period were determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following principal inputs were used in the valuation of awards issued for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022
Expected volatility	88.8%	85.8%
Expected term (years)	5.5-6.5	5.5-6.5
Risk-free interest rate	3.4%	3.3%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%
Value of underlying share	$0.36	$0.43

Detail of the number of stock options outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 under the Company's 2015 legacy option plan and the Company's amended 2018 long term incentive plan (collectively, the "Plans") is as follows:

Exercisable/vested as of September 30, 2023	2,745,812	$	1.17	7.49	$	—

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.38 and $1.11, respectively.

The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0, respectively.

Restricted share units

The Company has issued time-based restricted share units to certain employees as permitted under the Company's amended 2018 long term incentive plan (the "2018 Plan"). The restricted share units granted vest in accordance with the board-approved agreement, typically over equal installments up to four years. Upon vesting, one share of the Company's common shares is issued for each restricted share unit awarded. The fair value of each restricted share unit granted is equal to the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of the grant. The fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1,150 and $881, respectively.

Details of the number of restricted share units outstanding under the 2018 Plan is as follows:
