Stock Based Compensation Stock Based Compensation
In February 2022, the Company's board of directors approved the 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and in April 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the Plan. The Plan provides for a maximum of 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, OP Units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. Prior to the approval of the Plan, awards were issued under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan that the Company's board of directors approved in 2013.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The RSUs are divided into multiple tranches, which are all subject to service-based vesting conditions. Certain tranches are also subject to performance-based or market-based criteria, which contain a threshold, target, above target, and maximum number of units that can be earned. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period. Tranches that only have a service-based component can only earn a target number of units. The aggregate number of RSUs granted, assuming the achievement of target level performance, was 0.6 million and 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, with vesting periods ranging from one to five years. For the service-based and performance-based RSU's granted, fair value is based on the Company's grant date stock price or the grant date stock price adjusted for dividend or dividend equivalent rights, when applicable. For the market-based RSUs granted, fair value is based on a Monte Carlo simulation model that assesses the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period based on the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the other companies within the FTSE Nareit Equity Shopping Centers Index as well as the following significant assumptions:
