Note 11.  Share-Based Compensation

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 73,364 equity-classified restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.54. We account for RSUs granted to employees at fair value, which we measure as the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, and we recognize the compensation expense in the financial statements over the requisite service period. The RSUs granted to our employees generally vest over a period of three equal annual installments beginning on or around the anniversary of the date of grant. The RSUs granted to the nonemployee members of our Board of Directors generally vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and either settle at vesting or, if the director has elected to defer the RSUs, within thirty days following the earlier of the termination of the director’s service for any reason or a change of control.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 47,330 equivalent stock units, or cash-settled, liability-classified RSUs (“ESUs”), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.54. ESUs are granted to employees at fair value, which we measure at the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Since ESUs are settled in cash, we record a liability, which is remeasured each reporting period at fair value based upon the closing price of our common stock until the awards are settled. The ESUs granted to our employees generally vest and settle over a period of three equal annual installments beginning on or around the anniversary of the date of grant. The cash settled for any ESU will not exceed the maximum payout established by our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 32,507 performance stock unit awards (“PSUs”), which have a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The PSUs grant date fair value of $24.29 was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The number of PSUs ultimately issued is dependent upon our total shareholder return relative to a performance peer group (“relative TSR”) over a three-year performance period. Each PSU associated with the March 2025 award will settle for between zero and 1.25 shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2028. The threshold performance level (25th percentile relative TSR) earns 50% of the target PSUs, the mid-point performance level (50th percentile relative TSR) earns 100% of the target PSUs and the maximum performance level (75th percentile relative TSR) or greater earns 125% of the target PSUs.

 

Total share-based compensation expense for all awards was $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
