11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Incentive Plan
The Company adopted an equity-based management incentive plan on April 26, 2024 (the “Incentive Plan”), which was amended and restated on May 12, 2025 to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 40,000,000 to 48,000,000. Under the Incentive Plan, certain executives have been granted market condition restricted stock units (“MSUs”) which are subject to the achievement of market-based share price goals and the executives’ continued service until the relevant vesting date. The number of shares which vest as of the end of each measurement period on each vesting date are conditioned on the highest 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's share price achieved during the tranche’s measurement vesting period since grant. The MSU vesting schedule is proportionate over a three-year service period where such proportions are identified as tranches with separate service conditions and measurement periods for the market conditions. If certain market-based share price goals are not met during certain tranche measurement periods, the ability to satisfy such goals apply in subsequent measurement periods and permit vesting if such market conditions are then met (and the service conditions are then satisfied). The following table presents additional information relating to each MSU award:

Performance Share Units
In April 2025, the Company granted PSUs to certain executive officers under the Incentive Plan. The PSUs are eligible to vest in three equal installments on April 15, 2026, March 15, 2027, and March 15, 2028, subject to satisfaction of the service condition and the achievement of three separate market or performance conditions during the respective performance measurement period (for a total of nine tranches). The performance measurement period is generally the calendar year preceding each vesting date. The number of shares earned at each vesting date range from 0% to 300% of target based on measures of satisfaction of the market or performance condition for each tranche. Market conditions include RTSR metric, which is a measure of the performance of the Company’s own stock relative to the Russell 2000. Performance conditions include aggregate energized MW growth and colocation customer acquisition targets.
The grant date fair value PSU tranches with RTSR market conditions were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant date fair value:
