Stock-based Compensation
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated in November 2015 (“Plan”), we may grant a variety of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with time-based vesting conditions to non-employee directors, officers and certain key employees. Service requirements generally must be met for equity-based awards to vest. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has only issued RSUs under the Plan, the fair value of which is determined based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The RSUs activity was as follows:

A total of 1,417,649 shares of common stock may be issued under the Plan, of which 978,375 shares remain available for issuance as of December 31, 2015.

On July 2, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved and adopted the CEO Plan and Stock Option Agreement (“the Agreement”). The Agreement provides the Company’s CEO the option to purchase 165,000 shares of common stock. On July 29, 2015, such option was granted for a weighted average exercise price of $6.05 per share (“CEO Stock Option Award”), which becomes exercisable at a rate of 20% on March 2, 2016, and 5% on the last day of each quarter thereafter beginning June 30, 2016 for a total of sixteen additional increments. The weighted average fair value of the CEO Stock Option Award was $2.15 per share using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.05%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 10 years; and volatility of 61.8%. As of December 31, 2015, no options were vested or exercisable.
