During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized $1.1 million and $3.6 million of stock-based compensation costs for stock options, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $1.6 million and $4.2 million of stock-based compensation costs for stock options, respectively.
No stock options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

PSOs have a 10-year term, an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and vest either at the end of three-year performance period, or over a three- or four-year requisite service period.
We used the following weighted-average assumptions in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model for determination of the stock options valuation:

As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options of $2.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. This cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 0.6 years and 1.3 years, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised totaled $1.8 million and $16.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.

Executive Awards
The Company granted awards under the 2018 Plan to certain executive officers during 2026.
On June 15, 2026, the Company granted PSUs to its Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO Award”). The CEO Award vests in full at the end of a 3.5-year performance period (cliff vesting), subject to the achievement of specified annual performance targets and the CEO’s continued employment through the vesting date. Any shares issued upon vesting and settlement of the CEO Award, net of shares withheld to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations, will be subject to a mandatory post-vesting holding period and generally may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of prior to December 31, 2031, subject to certain limited exceptions. Stock-based compensation expense for the CEO Award is recognized over the 3.5-year performance period based on the Company’s current estimate of the likelihood of achieving the applicable performance targets.
On February 25, 2026, the Company granted PSUs and RSUs to certain executive officers. On May 20, 2026, the Company granted PSUs and RSUs to its newly appointed Chief Financial Officer and one other executive officer as new-hire awards, and on August 27, 2026, the Company granted an additional RSU awards to the Chief Financial Officer and one other executive officer (collectively, the “2026 Executive Awards”).
The RSUs are subject to service-based vesting conditions. For executive officers who received awards on February 25, 2026, 40% of the RSUs vest on March 1, 2027, and the remaining 60% vest in equal quarterly installments over the following two years. The Chief Financial Officer’s new-hire RSU award vests one-third on April 15, 2027, with the remaining two-thirds vesting in equal quarterly installments over the following two years. The additional RSU awards granted to the Chief Financial Officer and one other executive officer on August 27, 2026 vest 50% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.
The PSUs included in the 2026 Executive Awards vest in full at the end of a three-year performance period (cliff vesting), subject to the achievement of specified annual performance targets and the executive’s continued employment through the vesting date. Stock-based compensation expense for the RSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the service-based vesting terms, while expense for the PSUs is recognized over the applicable three-year performance period based on the Company’s current estimate of the likelihood of achieving the applicable performance targets.
