The majority of the Company’s restricted stock awarded to its employees was originally issued in December 2020 to exchange the Class B Profits Interest Unit (the “Class B Units”) of EQT.

Modification accounting was not required for the time-based vesting Class B Units for which the vesting conditions, classification and fair market value did not change as a result of the shares of restricted common stock that replaced them. The original grant date fair value will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis. Modification accounting was required for the performance-based vesting Class B Units that were exchanged for time-based vesting restricted common stock, given the vesting conditions were changed.

Share-based compensation for the restricted stock exchanged for the time-based Class B Units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally five years. Share-based compensation for the restricted stock exchanged for the performance-based Class B Units is recognized using the accelerated attribution approach.

In 2021, the Company granted 87,127 replacement shares of restricted stock in connection with the Pinnacle acquisition under which equity-based awards are outstanding. The fair value of the restricted stock awarded was initially based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, then adjusted for time restrictions due to unregistered shares and lack of marketability. Total grant date fair value was $2,762. The restricted stock issued in 2021 generally has a three-year vesting period except for one holder whose shares vests equally on a monthly basis for two years.

The Company did not legally authorize or issue any restricted stock during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company modified an award for a recipient that resulted in 66,220 shares each

assumed cancelled, granted, and forfeited. The shares of restricted stock vested includes 5,182 shares of common stock that were withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the statutory tax withholding requirements.

Equity-based compensation expenses (income) related to the restricted stock exchanged for performance-based Class B Units were $(319) and $3,758 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock recognized using the accelerated attribution approach was $5,039, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 22.5 months.

Equity-based compensation expenses related to the restricted stock exchanged for time-based Class B Units were $1,174 and $2,705 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock recognized using the straight-line attribution approach was $3,821, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 28.0 months.

Equity-based employee compensation expense related to the time-based restricted stock for the Pinnacle acquisition was $292 and $877 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized equity-based compensation expenses related to outstanding restricted stock recognized using the straight-line attribution approach was $1,593, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 18.4 months.

In order to align the Company’s equity compensation program with public company practices, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved the 2020 Incentive Plan. The 2020 Incentive Plan allows for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees, directors, officers, and consultants or advisors of the Company. The 2020 Incentive Plan allows for 20,000,000 shares (the “plan share reserve”) of common stock to be issued. No more than the number of shares of common stock equal to the plan share reserve may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options. The maximum number of shares of common stock granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $1,000,000 in total value, except for certain awards made to a non-executive chair of our Board of Directors.

RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at a specified date in the future. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

* The shares granted during 2022 were primarily issued on April 1, 2022 under the 2020 Incentive Plan.

** The number of the RSUs vested includes 134,262 shares that were withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the statutory tax withholding requirements. The vested shares included 7,059 shares vested but deferred in connection with our director deferral plan.

Equity-based compensation expenses related to the RSUs were $5,312 and $14,538 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs was $42,927, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 25.5 months.

Performance Stock Units

PSUs granted in April 2021 and 2022 were issued under the 2020 Incentive Plan and represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at a specified date in the future based on the satisfaction of various service conditions and the achievement of certain performance thresholds for individual PSU plans including year over year revenue growth and unlevered free cash flow growth.

Share-based compensation for the PSUs is only recognized to the extent a threshold is probable of being achieved and is recognized using the accelerated attribution approach. The Company will continue to assess the probability of each condition being achieved at each reporting period to determine whether and when to recognize compensation cost. The following table presents a summary of activity on the PSUs for the period ended September 30, 2022.

A summary of the Company’s PSU activity is as follows:
