On January 24, 2024, to reduce the administrative burden and expense associated with monthly vesting, the Company approved the acceleration of vesting of certain RSUs of the Company. The RSUs fully vested on the day following the filing with the SEC of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, in each case subject to the continued employment of the officer with the Company, through such date.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs of approximately $1.5 million. Due to the accelerated vesting of the RSUs there is currently no unamortized stock based compensation remaining.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs of approximately $4.4 million.
