| Stock-based Compensation | 13. Stock-based Compensation Equity Incentive Plans In July 2021, the Board and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which may be used to grant, among other award types, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased pursuant to provisions for annual automatic evergreen increases. The Company’s previous awards issued under its 2007 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated on January 21, 2009 and June 4, 2025 (the “2007 Plan”), remain subject to the 2007 Plan. As of September 30, 2025, 715,191 and 145,135 shares were available for grant under the 2021 Plan and the 2007 Plan, respectively. The Company generally issues new shares for stock option exercises and vesting of RSUs and PSUs. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was approximately $24.9 million for unvested RSUs and $2.1 million for unvested PSUs. The following table summarizes stock option, RSU and PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
Service-based RSUs The fair value of service-based RSUs granted to the Company’s eligible employees and non-employee directors is based on the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 6,866,910 service-based RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.58 per share. Performance Stock Units The Company grants PSU awards to its senior executives and other key employees, some of which are subject to vesting conditions based on the Company’s financial or operational metrics and others of which are subject to market-based vesting conditions based on achievement of absolute and relative total shareholder return ("TSR") metrics. PSUs - Financial & Operational Vesting Conditions The fair value of PSUs with financial and operational performance conditions is based on the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. PSUs vest subject to employees’ continuing employment and the Company’s achievement of specified performance goals over the specified performance period (typically three years). Expense related to these PSUs is recognized ratably during the performance period, based on the probability of attaining the specified performance targets. The potential number of shares that may be earned is determined based on achievement of the performance targets up to a maximum of 150% of the number of PSUs granted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 721,424 of these PSUs to its executives with a weighted average fair value of $2.57 per share. PSUs - Market-Based Vesting Conditions The Company also grants market-based PSUs, which are based on TSR performance, to its senior executives and other key employees. The absolute TSR awards are subject to achievement of specified stock price hurdles of the Common Stock for 20 days out of a 30-trading day window during the 3-year performance period, as well as continued employment through the quarterly service dates over the 3-year period. The number of shares that are eligible to vest range from 0% to 100% of the number of PSUs granted based on achievement of the specified stock price hurdles, with half of our CEO’s 2024 PSU award subject to vesting based on two additional above-target stock price hurdles. In June 2025, the Company also granted relative TSR awards with vesting dependent on the Company’s TSR relative to the market performance of the designated peer group. The performance achievement for the relative TSR awards is measured based on the actual performance against the relative TSR goals measured over the period beginning with the date of grant through the end of each calendar year in the 3-year performance period, subject to employee’s continuing employment through the annual settlement dates of the vested awards. The number of shares that are eligible to vest range from 0% to 150% of the relative TSR awards granted, depending on the Company’s relative TSR ranking based on pre-established goals, subject to interpolation between applicable performance levels. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation, which uses subjective assumptions and simulates multiple stock price paths of the Common Stock to determine the fair value of market-based PSUs on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized using an accelerated attribution method over the greater of the derived service periods and explicit quarterly service periods. Compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is recorded regardless of whether the market condition will be ultimately satisfied. The following assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s market-based PSUs:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 551,424 relative TSR awards to its senior executives and other key employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.88 per share. In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company granted a total of 730,000 absolute TSR awards to two of its key employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.25 per share. Stock-Based Awards Granted Outside of Equity Incentive Plans Warrants The Company issued equity-classified warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock to certain third-party advisors, consultants, and financial institutions, which expire in September 2026. As of each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 48,529 warrants were outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $7.34. Employee Stock Purchase Plan As of September 30, 2025, approximately 3,350,446 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which is subject to annual automatic evergreen increases. There have been no shares purchased under the ESPP as it is not yet active. See Note 13 to the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Company’s share-based compensation awards.
