Stock-Based Compensation Expense | 11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company has three equity incentive plans: its 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), its 2017 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) and its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Plan in 2020, which became effective in connection with the Company’s March 10, 2021 direct listing of its Class A common stock (the “Direct Listing”). The 2017 Plan was terminated effective immediately prior to the direct listing in connection with the effectiveness of the Company’s 2020 Plan, and accordingly no shares are available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The 2004 Plan was terminated on the effective date of the 2017 Plan, and accordingly no shares are available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. Any outstanding stock awards under the 2004 Plan and 2017 Plan remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award agreements, until such shares are issued under those stock awards, by exercise of stock options or settlement of RSUs or until those stock awards become vested or expired by their terms. Additionally, in 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective in connection with the Direct Listing. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense was as follows (in thousands):
Stock Options The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity (in thousands, except per option data and remaining contractual term):
RSUs and PSUs The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU and PSU activity, excluding the 2024 CEO PSU Award which is described in more detail in the following section (in thousands, except per share data):
(1)The unvested RSUs balances of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 exclude 76,322 and 71,465 of RSUs associated with the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan that have vested but have not yet been released, respectively. (2)Includes PSUs issued to certain members of management (the “Management PSUs”) in each of the years 2022 through 2025 and excludes the 2024 CEO PSU Award, which is described in more detail below. The Management PSUs include awards with financial performance-based targets and market performance-based targets. All PSU balances and grants are shown at the aggregate maximum number of shares that were granted and may be earned and issued with respect to each award over its full term. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $6.0 million and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to the Management PSUs. Certain PSU and RSU Grants CEO Long-Term Performance Award In February 2021, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee granted a PSU award (the “CEO Long-Term Performance Award”) under the 2017 Plan, which provided our CEO the opportunity to earn a maximum number of 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. The CEO Long-Term Performance Award would have vested upon the satisfaction of a service condition and achievement of certain Class A common stock price targets over five years. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee approved the cancellation of the CEO-Long Term Performance Award on March 1, 2024, as further discussed below. The Class A common stock price targets were not achieved and therefore no shares vested under the CEO Long-Term Performance Award prior to its cancellation. 2024 CEO PSUs and RSUs On March 1, 2024 (the “Modification Date”), the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee concurrently (i) approved the cancellation of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award and (ii) granted Mr. Baszucki a new PSU award (the “2024 CEO PSU Award”) and RSU award (collectively, the “2024 CEO Award”), which was determined to represent a modification of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award. As of the Modification Date, total subsequent stock-based compensation expense to be recognized was measured as (i) the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the grant date fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award of $84.4 million and (ii) the incremental fair value resulting from the modification, if any. To estimate the incremental fair value resulting from the modification (if any), the Company first estimated the fair value of the modified CEO Long-Term Performance Award immediately prior to the Modification Date using a model based on multiple stock price outcomes developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporated into the valuation the possibility that the stock price targets may not be satisfied. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date, corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period, and expected dividend yield. On the Modification Date, the estimated fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award immediately prior to the modification was greater than the estimated fair value of the 2024 CEO Award (which was generally estimated based on the Modification Date fair value of the Class A common stock underlying the 2024 CEO Award, with consideration of the probability of achievement against the pre-established performance measures). As a result, the modification did not result in any incremental stock-based compensation expense and therefore, as of the Modification Date, total subsequent stock-based compensation expense to be recognized totaled $84.4 million. Of the total estimated stock-based compensation expense, 75% of the value was allocated to the 2024 CEO PSU Award with the remaining 25% allocated to the RSUs, based on the relative value of the two awards on the Modification Date. Under the 2024 CEO PSU Award, the number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the Company’s performance against two independent performance measures relative to pre-established thresholds during a two-year performance period ending on December 31, 2025. The two independent performance measures are the Company’s cumulative (i) bookings during the performance period, as defined in the grant agreement with the CEO and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA during the performance period, which correlates to the covenant adjusted EBITDA calculation used in certain covenant calculations specified in the indenture governing our 2030 Notes (the “PSU Adjusted EBITDA”). Further, the awards are subject to Mr. Baszucki’s continuous service with the Company through each vesting date. In the first quarter of 2026, 67% of the award earned, if any, will vest and the remaining 33% of the award earned, if any, will vest in four equal quarterly installments thereafter beginning in the second quarter of 2026. The Company will recognize stock-based compensation expense for the 2024 CEO PSU Award on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. Actual performance against the pre-established thresholds under the 2024 CEO PSU Award will have no impact on the subsequent stock-based compensation expense recognized. The target number of the 2024 CEO PSU Award was 446,534 in aggregate, with 80% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative bookings performance measure and 20% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative PSU Adjusted EBITDA performance measure. The Company recorded $7.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 CEO PSU Award during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $10.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 CEO PSU Award and CEO Long-Term Performance Award, in total, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, within general and administrative expenses. Under the 2024 CEO Award, Mr. Baszucki was granted 148,844 RSUs which will vest quarterly over a three-year service period beginning March 1, 2024, subject to Mr. Baszucki’s continued service with the Company on each vesting date. 2025 PSU Awards During the first quarter of 2025, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee granted PSU awards to certain members of management (the “2025 PSU Awards”). Under the 2025 PSU Awards, the number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the Company’s performance against two independent performance measures relative to pre-established thresholds during a two-year performance period ending on December 31, 2026. The two independent performance measures include the Company’s cumulative (i) bookings during the performance period, as defined in the grant agreement with each member of management and (ii) PSU Adjusted EBITDA margin during the performance period, which correlates to cumulative covenant PSU Adjusted EBITDA during the performance period divided by cumulative bookings during the performance period. Further, the awards are subject to each executive’s continuous service with the Company through each vesting date, with the initial vesting date to occur in the first quarter of 2027 (of which 67% of the award earned, if any, will vest) and the remaining vesting dates to occur in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the second quarter of 2027. The target number of 2025 PSU Awards was 621,971 in total, with 80% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative bookings performance measure and 20% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative PSU Adjusted EBITDA margin performance measure. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the 2025 PSU Awards based upon the per-share grant date fair value of $57.17 on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. At each reporting period, the amount of stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the probability of achievement against the pre-established performance measures and if necessary, a cumulative catch-up adjustment is recorded to reflect any revised estimates regarding the probability of achievement. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company recorded $3.8 million and $6.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2020 ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
