| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for grants of stock options, performance-vesting stock options, RSUs, performance-vesting RSUs and shares of common stock as compensation for services received from service providers. Stock Incentive Plans In January 2016, Legacy Latch adopted the Latch, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan (the “2016 Plan” and, together with the Latchable, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the “Prior Plans”). Under the 2016 Plan, Legacy Latch’s board of directors was authorized (i) to grant either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to its employees and (ii) to grant NSOs to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to outside directors and consultants. When the 2021 Plan (defined below) became effective, 22,797,955 shares (adjusted for the exchange ratio of the 2021 Business Combination (the “Exchange Ratio”)) had been authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Stock options under the 2016 Plan were granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the grant date. Stock options outstanding under the 2016 Plan generally have ten-year terms and vest over a four-year period starting from the date specified in each award agreement. Since the effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, no additional awards have been or will be granted under the 2016 Plan. Upon the effectiveness of the 2021 Business Combination, all outstanding stock options under the Prior Plans, whether vested or unvested, converted into options to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company based on the Exchange Ratio. Awards previously granted under a Prior Plan remain subject to the provisions of such Prior Plan. The Latch, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by the TSIA stockholders on June 3, 2021 and became effective upon the closing of the 2021 Business Combination. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including ISOs and NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other stock-based and cash-based awards. The 2021 Plan has a term of ten years. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is equal to (i) 22,500,611 shares plus (ii) an annual increase for ten years on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2022, equal to the lesser of (a) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (b) such smaller amount of shares as determined by the Board. As of January 1, 2026, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan had increased by 39,647,714. As of March 31, 2026, there were 47,161,950 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan. On August 11, 2024 (the “Program Effective Date”), the Board approved a performance-based equity incentive program (the “Performance Equity Program”) pursuant to which awards of performance-vesting stock options (“Performance Options”) and performance-vesting RSUs (“PSUs”) were expected to be granted to Company officers and service providers, and the Company granted Performance Options to certain officers and key service providers. The Performance Equity Program provided for the Company to grant awards under the 2021 Plan that would become eligible to vest based on the Company’s common stock reaching specified market trading prices (based on a trailing 60-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”)) within seven years after the Program Effective Date. Awards under the Performance Equity Program were generally expected to be granted 50% in the form of PSUs that would become eligible to vest, or “earned,” in equally-sized tranches upon attaining a $1, $2 and $3 stock price hurdle, and 50% in the form of Performance Options that would become earned in equally-sized tranches upon attaining a $4, $5 and $6 stock price hurdle. Upon attainment of a stock price hurdle, 25% of the earned tranche of PSUs and Performance Options would vest, with the remaining 75% of such earned tranche vesting in equal annual installments over the next three years, subject to the applicable participant’s continued service through the vesting date. On the Program Effective Date, the Board granted Performance Options to certain officers and key service providers covering a total of 25.5 million shares (the “Initial Option Grant”). As described above, the Performance Options were eligible to be earned in three tranches based on the Company’s common stock reaching market trading prices (based on a trailing 60-day VWAP) before the seventh anniversary of the Program Effective Date, as set forth in the following table:
Upon attainment of a stock price hurdle, 25% of each earned tranche of Performance Options would vest, with the remaining 75% of such earned tranche vesting in equal annual installments over the next three years, subject to the applicable participant’s continued service through the vesting date. The Performance Options had an exercise price of $0.41 and a ten year term; however, any portion of the Performance Option corresponding to a tranche that had not become earned based on the achievement of a share price hurdle within seven years after the Program Effective Date would be cancelled and forfeited. In addition to the performance-based and service-based vesting requirements described above, (i) the first tranche of the Performance Option would, to the extent vested, only become exercisable in equal installments on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Program Effective Date, (ii) the second tranche of the Performance Option would, to the extent vested, only become exercisable in equal installments on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries of the Program Effective Date, and (iii) the third tranche of the Performance Option would, to the extent vested, only become exercisable in equal installments on the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh anniversaries of the Program Effective Date. On September 13, 2024, the Company granted approximately 8.6 million Performance Options to employees, none of whom participated in the Initial Option Grant. Such Performance Options have an exercise price of $0.48 and are otherwise substantially identical to those granted in the Initial Option Grant. Since issuance through March 31, 2026, 25.1 million Performance Options were forfeited in connection with certain officers, key service providers, and employee terminations, resulting in 9.0 million Performance Options outstanding. To date, no PSUs have been granted under the Performance Equity Program. Stock Options A summary of stock options as of March 31, 2026, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026, is presented below:
There were no stock options granted or exercised and no realized tax-related benefits from disqualifying dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 128,000 Performance Options were forfeited as a result of employee terminations. Total compensation expense not yet recognized related to unvested stock options was $0.04 million as of March 31, 2026, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years. Stock options granted prior to 2024 had no material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2026, total compensation expense not yet recognized related to the unvested performance stock options granted in 2024 was $1.5 million, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. Restricted Stock Units The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs using the last trading price of its common stock as of the grant date. The Company’s RSUs are settled in shares of common stock after vesting and vest over a period of to four years. The Company has the option, but not the obligation, to treat a participant’s failure to provide timely payment of any withholding tax arising in connection with RSUs as such participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSU. In connection with the Restatement, the Company suspended use of its registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act (the “S-8 Registration Statement”) on August 10, 2022. Following the filing of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 on March 31, 2026, the S-8 Registration Statement became effective again on April 2, 2026. A summary of equity-based RSU activity is presented below:
Approximately 0.1 million and 0.05 million RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, but were not released upon vesting due to the suspension of the S-8 Registration Statement. The S-8 Registration Statement became effective again on April 2, 2026. See Note 22. Subsequent Events. Jamie Siminoff Restricted Common Stock In November 2024, the Company and Mr. Siminoff mutually agreed that he would step down as the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer on December 31, 2024, after which he began serving in an advisory role that was expected to continue through December 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense for the post-combination services rendered. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense as of March 31, 2025 was $0.5 million and was expected to be recognized over a period of 2.8 years. The Company terminated the advisory services of Jamie Siminoff, the Company’s former Chief Strategy Officer, in May 2025. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The components of stock-based compensation expense were as follows:
