Stock-Based Compensation

10. Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), to the Company's employees and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. A total of 10,459,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan in addition to (i) an annual increase of 4% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, with Class A and Class B common stock taken together, on the first day of each fiscal year (subject to the Compensation Committee of the Board exercising discretion to increase or decrease such amount, the "Evergreen Addition") and (ii) upon the expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or reacquisition of any shares of Class B common stock underlying outstanding stock awards granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, such number of shares not to exceed 7,563,990. On January 1, 2026, pursuant to the Evergreen Addition, approximately 5.0 million shares of Class A common stock were added to the 2021 Plan issuance reserve. At September 30, 2026, there were approximately 29.6 million remaining shares available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Plan.

There were no options granted or expired during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and no options were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

At September 30, 2026, all outstanding stock options granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan were fully vested. Accordingly, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.

The fair value of RSU grants is determined based upon the market closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1.7 million and $34.3 million, respectively, and $36.5 million and $52.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. RSUs vest over the requisite service period, which generally ranges from four to five years from the date of grant for employees and one year (historically ranging from one to three years for awards vested prior to 2026) for directors, subject to continued employment for employees and provision of services for non-employees. The aggregate fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $9.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively, and $23.7 million and $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

At September 30, 2026, there was $75.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.5 years.
