Share Awards
We have common shares available for issuance under the terms of our Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Compensation Plan, or the 2012 Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we awarded shares to our Trustees, officers and other employees of RMR as follows:
YearNumber of SharesWeighted Average Grant Date Fair ValueWeighted Average Value of Grants

2023438,000 $7.88 $3,451 
2022433,500 $6.63 $2,874 
The value of the share awards were based upon the closing price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on the date of the awards. The common shares awarded to our Trustees vest immediately. The common shares awarded to our officers and certain other employees of RMR (in those capacities) vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of the award. Shares forfeited are recognized as they occur. Share awards are expensed ratably over the vesting period and the value of such share awards are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
A summary of shares awarded, vested, forfeited and unvested under the terms of the 2012 Plan for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
