Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock compensation expense Stock compensation expense
The Company issued stock options (incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to employees and key advisors under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, which has been approved by the board of directors. Granted stock options do not expire for 10 years and have vesting periods ranging from 7 to 60 months. The holder of one stock option may purchase one share of common stock at the underlying strike price.
The Company issues restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The RSUs are subject to time-based vesting, with a majority of the RSUs vesting 25% on the first anniversary of the award date and ratably thereafter for twelve quarters, such that the RSUs will be fully vested on the fourth anniversary of their award date. Eligible participants in the PRSUs will receive a number of earned shares based on growth in retained premiums and fees and adjusted gross profit during the performance period, as established by the Company’s board of directors. Earned shares for the PRSUs will fully vest in three equal annual installments after the performance period based on continuous employment. The RSUs and PRSUs are measured at fair market value on the grant date and stock-based compensation expense is recognized as the shares vest with a corresponding offset credited to additional paid-in-capital.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $11.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
