NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2018 Stock Plan

Legacy SmartRent’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the SmartRent.com, Inc. 2018 Stock Plan (the “2018 Stock Plan”), effective March 2018. The purpose of the 2018 Stock Plan was to advance the interests of Legacy SmartRent and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for Legacy SmartRent and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of Legacy SmartRent. The 2018 Stock Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for awards in the form of options, restricted stock purchase rights or restricted stock bonuses. Awards granted under the 2018 Stock Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant and become vested and exercisable over a four-year period. All options are subject to certain provisions that may impact these vesting schedules. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, all awards issued under the 2018 Stock Plan were assumed by the Company and converted to options to purchase Common Stock and RSUs for Common Stock using the Exchange Ratio.

Summaries of the Company’s 2018 Stock Plan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below.

Amendment to the 2018 Stock Plan

In April 2021, the board of directors of Legacy SmartRent executed a unanimous written consent to provide an additional incentive to certain employees of Legacy SmartRent by amending the 2018 Stock Plan to allow for the issuance of RSUs and granted a total of 1,533 RSUs to certain employees which vest over four years. The estimated fair value for each RSU issued was approximately $21.55 per share and the total stock-based compensation expense to be amortized over the vesting period is $33,033. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021 these RSUs were assumed by the Company and converted to 7,489 RSUs at a per share fair value of $4.41 pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. During the year ended December 31, 2021, $843 of stock compensation expense was recorded for these awards. The outstanding RSUs also contain a liquidity event vesting condition which was satisfied upon closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company recognized an additional one-time stock-based compensation expense of $2,827 in August 2021 as a retroactive catch-up of cumulative stock-based compensation expense for such awards from their original grant dates.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the board of directors approved and implemented the SmartRent, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make, or are expected to make, important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and equity-linked compensation opportunities.

The 2021 Plan authorizes the compensation committee to provide incentive compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock and stock units, performance shares and units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 15,500 shares of stock. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, the RSUs granted in the 2018 Stock Plan were assumed by the Company and converted to 7,489 restricted stock units pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. In August 2021, 354 RSUs were granted to certain executives and the board of directors at a fair value of $12.10. Non-employee board member RSUs will vest either over one year or three years. The RSUs granted to employees are generally subject

to a four-year vesting schedule and all vesting shall be subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting dates. In November 2021, the Company granted 72 RSUs to certain executives pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These RSUs had a fair value of $12.10 at the time of the grant and will vest over four years. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted 1,510 RSUs to certain employees pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These RSUs had a fair value of $7.54 at the time of the grant and will vest over four years. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 387 RSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These RSUs had a fair value of $4.44 at the time of the grant and will vest over four years. No right to any Common Stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant of the RSU award confer any right to continue vesting or employment. Compensation expense associated with the unvested RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 respectively, stock-based compensation expense of $3,403 and $6,526 was recognized in connection with the vesting of all RSUs. No stock-based compensation expense related the RSUs was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
