SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our stockholders, replaced our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”); however, the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 4,748 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,809 options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 163.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was $1,863 and $1,902, respectively. Issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units (including restricted stock units that converted from performance stock units) are as follows for the period presented below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025	2024
Common stock issued - options	69	26
Common stock issued - RSU(1)	382	275
(1) Included in these amounts are 159 and 109 of restricted stock units that were converted from performance stock units which vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2024 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each executive officer is a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on our achievement of certain performance metrics tied to our recurring revenue and gross profit for 2024. On March 6, 2025, the PSUs converted to RSUs at 70% of target based on the achievement of set performance metrics, and we paid out a total of 153 RSUs to our executive officers.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2025 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each executive officer is a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on our achievement of certain performance metrics tied to our recurring revenue and gross profit for 2025.
