Stock-Based Compensation

2018 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan

On January 30, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the establishment of the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and termination of its Carve-Out Plan. Under the LTIP, the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the LTIP pursuant to awards of Restricted Shares or Options will be limited to 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which calculation shall be made on the first trading day of each new fiscal year; provided that, in any year no more than 8% of the common stock or derivative securitization with common stock underlying 8% of the common stock may be issued in any fiscal year. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders on January 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the LTIP to: (i) increase the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued in any single fiscal year only for the 2023 fiscal year under the LTIP from 8% of the shares of common stock outstanding to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding (which amount equates to the maximum amount that may be issued in the aggregate under the LTIP), and (ii) permit immediately quarterly calculations based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the first trading day of each fiscal quarter, rather than solely as of the first trading day of the fiscal year. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 15, 2024, the Company’s stockholders further approved an amendment to the LTIP to increase the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued only for the 2024 fiscal year under the LTIP from 8% of the shares of common stock outstanding to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding (which amount equates to the maximum amount that may be issued in the aggregate under the LTIP). At the annual meeting of stockholders held on December 20, 2024 stockholders voted to remove the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued for a certain fiscal year under the LTIP. As a result of this change, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to equity awards is limited to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding, which calculation is made using the number of common stock outstanding as of the first trading day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2025, up to 63,910,037 shares of common stock are available for grants to participants under the LTIP.
