In connection with the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, granted to the Joint Venture’s employees and directors one or a combination of time-vesting restricted stock units (RSUs), time-vesting deferred stock units, performance stock units, and cash settled restricted stock units under vesting terms that generally vary from one to four years from the date of grant. Each of these instruments is described below. Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)—The Company granted 4,436,758 RSUs during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019. The RSUs are subject to either a graded vesting schedule over four years, or a one or four year cliff vesting schedule, depending on the terms of the specific award.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the Joint Venture recognized compensation expense of $6,096 related to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
