| Equity Incentive Plan | Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s Plan provides incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, including PRCM Advisers and affiliates and employees of PRCM Advisers and its affiliates, and any joint venture affiliates of the Company. The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The compensation committee has the full authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to authorize the granting of awards, to determine the eligibility of potential recipients to receive an award, to determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award (subject to the individual participant limitations provided in the Plan), to determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each award (which may not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan), to prescribe the form of instruments evidencing awards and to take any other actions and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. In connection with this authority, the compensation committee may, among other things, establish performance goals that must be met in order for awards to be granted or to vest, or for the restrictions on any such awards to lapse.
The Company’s Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards, subject to a ceiling of 6,500,000 shares available for issuance under the Plan. The Plan allows for the Company’s board of directors to expand the types of awards available under the Plan to include long-term incentive plan units in the future. If an award granted under the Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Unless earlier terminated by the Company’s board of directors, no new award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date that the Plan was approved by the Company’s board of directors. No award may be granted under the Plan to any person who, assuming payment of all awards held by such person, would own or be deemed to own more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 60,108, 55,553 and 34,559 shares of common stock, respectively, to its independent directors pursuant to the Plan. The estimated fair value of these awards was $13.35, $15.48 and $19.82 per share on grant date, based on the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on such date. The restricted common shares granted in 2019 are subject to a one-year vesting period, and the common shares granted in 2018 and 2017 vested immediately.
Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 455,174, 941,371 and 637,286 shares of restricted common stock, respectively, to the Company’s executive officers and key employees of PRCM Advisers who provide services to the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the associated award agreements. The estimated fair value of these awards was $14.40, $15.12 and $17.48 per share on grant date, based on the adjusted closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on such date. The shares underlying the grants vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, as long as such grantee complies with the terms and conditions of his or her applicable restricted stock award agreement.
The following table summarizes the activity related to restricted common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized compensation related to restricted common stock granted pursuant to the Plan of $9.2 million, $13.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively.
