On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASU 2018-07”).  This standard simplifies aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation.  Upon adoption of this standard, we reclassified $2.1 million from Share-based compensation liability to Additional paid-in-capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

 

Certain employee contracts provided for cash bonuses upon a positive final investment decision (“FID”) in the Project (the “FID Bonus”).  In January 2018, the nominating, corporate governance and compensation committee of the board of directors approved, and certain employees party to such contracts accepted, an amendment to such contracts whereby the FID Bonuses would be settled in shares of Company common stock equal to 110% of the FID Bonus.  The associated liability for FID Bonuses to be settled in shares of Company common stock of $0.4 million is included in Share-based compensation liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
