Stock-Based Compensation Plan | Stock-Based Compensation Plan We have in place a long-term incentive plan in which any employee or non-employee director who provides services to us is eligible to participate. The 2018 LTIP, which is overseen by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, provides for the grant of various types of equity awards, of which restricted stock unit awards and performance-based compensation awards have been granted. In May 2022, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2018 LTIP, in which the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 LTIP was increased by 150,000 shares to a total of 300,000 shares, and the term of the 2018 LTIP was extended through February 23, 2032. After giving effect to awards granted and forfeitures made under the 2018 LTIP and assuming the potential achievement of the maximum amounts of the performance factors through September 30, 2023, a total of 125,192 shares were available for issuance. Compensation expense recognized in connection with equity-based awards was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $128,300 and $140,300, respectively, of accrued dividend amounts for awards granted under the 2018 LTIP or as inducement awards. Restricted Stock Unit Awards The following table presents restricted stock unit award activity for the periods indicated:
_______________ (1)Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. (2)The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards issued during the first nine months of 2023 was $1.3 million based on grant date market prices of our common shares ranging from $37.56 to $58.05 per share. Unrecognized compensation cost associated with restricted stock unit awards was approximately $0.9 million at September 30, 2023. Due to the graded vesting provisions of these awards, we expect to recognize the remaining compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Performance Share Unit Awards The following table presents performance share unit award activity for the periods indicated:
_______________ (1)Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. (2)The aggregate grant date fair value of performance share unit awards issued during the first nine months of 2023 was $0.7 million based on grant date market prices of our common shares ranging from $38.42 to $58.05 per share and assuming a performance factor of 100 percent. Unrecognized compensation cost associated with performance share unit awards was approximately $0.7 million at September 30, 2023. We expect to recognize the remaining compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
