Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

On May 19, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Plan, which replaced the 2009 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 17,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to awards granted thereunder. Awards previously granted under the 2009 Plan remain outstanding and valid in accordance with their terms, but no new awards will be granted under the 2009 Plan.

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plans provide incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, personnel and other parties who may provide significant services to the Company. The Equity Incentive Plans are administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The compensation committee has the full authority to administer and interpret the Equity Incentive Plans, 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 Equity Incentive Plans), to determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each award (which may not be inconsistent with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plans), 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 Equity Incentive Plans 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 Equity Incentive Plans provide for grants of restricted common stock, RSUs, performance-based awards (including PSUs), phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards. The 2021 Plan is subject to a ceiling of 17,000,000 shares and the 2009 Plan is subject to a ceiling of 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; however, following stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan, no new awards will be granted under the 2009 Plan. The Equity Incentive Plans allow for the Company’s board of directors to expand the types of awards available under the Equity Incentive Plans to include long-term incentive plan units in the future. If an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plans 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 Equity Incentive Plans after the tenth anniversary of the date that the Equity Incentive Plans were approved by the Company’s board of directors. No award may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plans 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.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 147,199 RSUs to its independent directors pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plans. The estimated fair value of these awards was $7.15 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 are subject to a one-year vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,189,518 RSUs to certain eligible employees pursuant to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plans and the associated award agreements. The estimated fair value of these awards was $7.10 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 RSUs 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 the applicable RSU agreement.

All RSUs entitle the grantee to receive dividend equivalent rights, or DERs, during the vesting period. A DER represents the right to receive a payment equal to the amount of cash dividends declared and payable on the grantee’s unvested and outstanding equity incentive awards. In the case of RSUs, DERs are paid in cash within 60 days of the quarterly dividend payment date based on the number of unvested and outstanding RSUs held by the grantee on the applicable dividend record date. In the event that an RSU is forfeited, the related DERs which have not yet been paid shall be forfeited.

The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Performance Share Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 511,473 target number of PSUs to certain eligible employees pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan and the associated award agreements. The estimated fair value of these awards was $8.67 per share on grant date, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The PSUs will vest promptly following the completion of a three year performance period, as long as such grantee complies with the terms and conditions of the applicable PSU award agreement. The number of underlying shares of common stock that vest and that the grantee becomes entitled to receive at the time of vesting will be determined based on the level of achievement of certain Company performance goals during the performance period and will generally range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted. The PSUs entitle the grantee to DERs during the vesting period, which accrue in the form of additional PSUs reflecting the value of any dividends declared on the Company’s common stock during the vesting period. In the event that a PSU is forfeited, the related accrued DERs shall be forfeited.

The following table summarizes the activity related to PSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
