Settlement of RSUs

 

On October 4, 2024, 337,666 RSUs previously granted to various employees vested and resulted in the issuance of 272,242 shares of common stock. 65,424 shares of common stock were withheld for taxes and returned to the 2015 Plan.

 

RSUs Granted

 

Effective October 1, 2024, the Company granted RSUs of 33,503 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2015 Plan to an employee of the Company in exchange their valid election to reduce their cash compensation for a period of three months for services provided to the Company. These RSUs will vest on July 1, 2025, subject to continued service by the employee.

 

Effective November 6, 2024, the Company granted aggregate RSUs of 400,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2015 Plan to a director of the Company and/or its subsidiaries in exchange for services provided to the Company and/or its subsidiaries. These RSUs vest over three years, with one-third vesting on each of November 6, 2025, November 6, 2026 and November 6, 2027, subject to continued service, and will result in total compensation expense of $240,800.

 

Effective November 6, 2024, the Company granted aggregate RSUs of 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2024 Plan to a director in exchange for services provided to the Company. These RSUs vest in two equal installments following the achievement of a closing stock price target above $2.50 per share and above $5.00 per share, respectively, of the Company’s common stock for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days prior to November 6, 2027 (but no earlier than November 2025), and also subject to time-based vesting in a single installment six months after the timely achievement of each stock price target, if at all, and subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of the RSUs that include a market vesting condition will be measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporating the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value of these awards will be recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met.
