On September 4, 2019, the effective date, Convey’s Board of Directors adopted the Cannes Holding Parent, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Equity Plan”). The 2019 Equity Plan shall automatically terminate on, and no options may be granted under the 2019 Equity Plan after, the tenth anniversary of the effective date.

On June 4, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the Convey Holding Parent, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan has a term of ten years.

In March 2020, pursuant to the 2019 Equity Plan, Convey issued option awards to acquire 5,723,676 shares, respectively, of Convey’s common stock having an exercise price of $7.94 per share and a term of ten (10) years. The awards were comprised of time-vesting and performance-vesting options.

The time-vesting options will vest 20% on the first anniversary of the commencement date, defined in each option agreement, and the remainder will vest in 16 equal 3-month installments over the following four years. Upon a change in control, the time-vested options will vest fully.

The performance-vesting options are eligible to vest 20% each year subject to the Company meeting certain annual Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) targets. Each year has been accounted for as a separate tranche. To the extent that any performance-based options have not vested pursuant to achievement of the annual Adjusted EBITDA targets (performance condition), catch-up vesting may occur if at any time prior to or upon the option expiration date of the award, TPG achieves a certain multiple-of-money return (market condition). Upon the consummation of a change in control, all performance-based options that have not become vested pursuant to the achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA targets or do not satisfy the catch-up vesting criteria will be immediately forfeited without any payment or consideration due from us.

In March 2021, pursuant to the 2019 Equity Plan, Convey issued option awards to acquire 69,300 shares of Convey’s common stock with an exercise price of $9.92 per share and a term of ten (10) years. The awards were comprised of time-vesting options which vest 25% on each anniversary date from the vesting commencement date.

In June 2021, in connection with the IPO and pursuant to the 2021 Plan, Convey issued option awards to acquire 497,321 shares of Convey’s common stock with an exercise price of $14.00 per share and a term of ten (10) years. In addition, Convey issued 198,929 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $13.00 per unit. The option awards and RSUs are time-vesting awards

On February 15, 2021, Convey’s Board of Directors approved a stock option award modification (the “Modification”) whereby the exercise price of certain previously granted and still outstanding unvested stock option awards held by current employees and certain executives were reduced by $1.18 per award, which represented the cash payment made for the vested awards as part of the Special Dividend. No other terms of the repriced stock options were modified, and the modified stock options will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules and will retain their original expiration dates. As a result of the modification, 3,653,837 unvested stock options outstanding with an original exercise price of $7.94 were modified.

The stock options are equity based awards and their aggregate intrinsic value outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2021 is $0. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2021 was $4.66.

As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $14.0 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.59 years.

We estimate the fair value of the time-vesting stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Merton model. The time-vesting options have a service condition. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes Merton model, require the input of certain assumptions that involve judgment. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, ultimately, how much we recognize as stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the options granted during the year were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes Merton model based on the following assumptions:

Prior to the IPO, there was no active external or internal market for our common shares. Thus, it was not possible to estimate the expected volatility of our share price in estimating fair value of options granted. Accordingly, as a substitute for such volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of the common stock of other companies in the same industry over an approximate period of time commensurate with the expected term of the options awarded. The expected term for options granted is based on the “simplified” method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment, since the simplified method provides a reasonable estimate in comparison to actual experience. Management had estimated the risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury note rates for the expected term.

One RSU gives the right to one share of the Company’s common stock. RSUs that vest based on service are measured based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation with respect to RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $2.6 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.96 years.

In March 2020, Convey issued fifty-six (56) Long-Term Incentive (LTI) awards with a total grant-date fair value of $1.1 million to employees. These awards vest upon satisfaction of the performance condition as determined by our Board of Directors at its sole discretion, subject to the participants continued employment or service. The performance condition is satisfied by TPG meeting a certain multiple-of-money return, on a scale, prior to or upon (i) TPG in the aggregate beneficially owning less than 20% of the voting equity securities of the Company or (ii) the date on which a change in control occurs. The awards contain a market condition with an implicit performance condition. No awards have vested as of June 30, 2021, as such events did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2021. No awards have been granted or cancelled during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The awards do not expire. On the date the performance condition is met, any unvested awards will be forfeited.

Settlement of the award can be made, as determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, (i) in cash, (ii) common stock, or (iii) in other property acceptable to the Board of Directors. The LTIs are treated as liability-based awards under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”) and the Company shall recognize compensation expense for the LTIs upon the liquidity event occurring.
