STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Pursuant to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"), the Company historically granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. On April 21, 2021, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders and replaced the 2019 Plan. At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an increase to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan was approved.
Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Company will continue to grant equity awards covering shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals.

Share-based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company periodically issues restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs ("Performance RSUs") to certain key employees, some of which are settled in cash. The RSUs vest solely due to continued service over time. The Performance RSUs generally vest upon the achievement of certain market goals, performance goals, and continued service. The majority of these awards are measured over an approximately 1-year to 3-year period from the date of issuance.
The following table presents the Company's total share based compensation expense by award type:

RSUs$5,328 $4,926 
Performance RSUs3,529 2,789 
Options172 765 
Total Share Based Compensation Expense(1)
$9,029 $8,480 
(1) Total share based compensation expense includes $1.6 million and $0.5 million of expense from cash settled awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $26.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years and assumes Performance RSUs that have not reached their measurement dates will be fully earned at target.
Special Warrants
Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99% of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5% of the Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Although the agreement governing the Special Warrants provides that the Company may decline to permit the exercise of Special Warrants if such exercise would result in more than 22.5% of our capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, the Company received a ruling from the FCC permitting it to have up to 100% foreign ownership in the aggregate. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were 58,534 Special Warrants exercised for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock. There were no Special Warrants exercised for Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 there were no Special Warrants exercised for Class B common stock.
