On July 28, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock with a record date of August 17, 2021, and a payment date of September 10, 2021. This cash dividend of approximately $2.4 million will be paid from available cash on hand. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares including outstanding restricted stock and RSUs, which are treated as contingently issuable shares, using the “treasury stock” method. The components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share were as follows for the periods stated: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (719) $ 3,759 $ (3,016) $ (780) Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 19,395,364 19,016,853 19,335,081 18,987,469 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 19,395,364 19,115,148 19,335,081 18,987,469 Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share $ (0.04) $ 0.20 $ (0.16) $ (0.04) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 the following securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been anti-dilutive: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Restricted stock units 181,592 — 318,248 232,825 Stock-Based Compensation Plans On March 23, 2012, our Board of Directors adopted the Spok Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2012 Equity Plan”) that our stockholders subsequently approved on May 16, 2012. A total of 2,194,986 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan. On April 29, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted the Spok Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Equity Plan” and, together with the 2012 Equity Plan, the "Equity Plans") that our stockholders subsequently approved on July 28, 2020. As of that date, a total of 1,699,950 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2020 Equity Plan, and no further grants will be made under the 2012 Equity Plan. However, the 2012 Equity Plan will continue to govern all outstanding awards thereunder. Awards under the 2020 Equity Plan may be in the form of stock options, restricted common stock, RSUs, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payment awards, deferred stock, DSUs, stock appreciation rights or other stock or cash-based awards. Restricted stock awards generally vest one year from the date of grant. Related dividends accumulate during the vesting period and are paid at the time of vesting. Contingent RSUs generally vest over a three-year performance period upon successful completion of the performance objectives. Non-contingent RSUs generally vest in thirds, annually, over a three-year period. Dividend equivalent rights generally accompany each RSU award and those rights accumulate and vest along with the underlying RSU. Dividend equivalent rights generally accompany each DSU award and are paid to participants in cash on the Company's applicable dividend payment date whether the DSU is vested or unvested. The dividend equivalent right associated with a DSU continues until delivery of the underlying shares of common stock is made. Payment of the underlying shares of common stock occurs at the earliest of a participant's separation from service, disability, death, or a change in control. Any shares subject to an award under the 2012 Equity Plan that are forfeited or expire will be available for the future grant of awards under the 2020 Equity Plan. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of unvested RSUs and restricted stock outstanding under the 2012 Equity Plan was 510,211. The following table summarizes the activities under the Equity Plans from January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021: Activity Total equity securities available at January 1, 2021 1,699,314 RSU, DSU, and restricted stock awarded to eligible employees, net of forfeitures (520,359) Issuance of common stock in lieu of cash compensation (109,171) Total equity securities available at June 30, 2021 1,069,784 The following table details activities with respect to outstanding RSUs, DSUs, and restricted stock under the Equity Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2021: Shares Weighted- Unvested at January 1, 2021 636,722 $ 12.16 Granted 616,743 11.09 Vested (17,097) 11.16 Forfeited (96,384) 12.34 Unvested at June, 30 2021 1,139,984 $ 11.58 Of the 1,139,984 unvested RSUs, DSUs and restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2021, 535,239 RSUs include contingent performance requirements for vesting purposes. At June 30, 2021, there was $7.1 million of unrecognized net compensation cost related to RSUs and restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. For 2021, qualified employees are receiving a portion of their compensation in the form of shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash. These awards are made in advance on a quarterly basis and vest immediately. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 109,171 shares of common stock were issued, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.35. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In 2016, our Board of Directors adopted the Spok Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") that our stockholders subsequently approved on July 25, 2016. A total of 250,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan. The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discounted rate, subject to plan limitations. Under the ESPP, eligible participants can voluntarily elect to have contributions withheld from their pay for the duration of an offering period, subject to the ESPP limits. At the end of an offering period, contributions will be used to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount to the market price based on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Participants are required to hold common stock for a minimum period of two years from the grant date. Participants will begin earning dividends on shares after the purchase date. Each offering period will generally last for no longer than six months. Once an offering period begins, participants cannot adjust their withholding amount. If a participant chooses to withdraw, any previously withheld funds will be returned to the participant, with no stock purchased, and that participant will be eligible to participate in the ESPP during the next offering period. If the participant terminates employment with the Company during the offering period, all contributions will be returned to the employee and no stock will be purchased. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the common stock to be purchased each offering period on the offer date. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of estimates for the expected term, the expected volatility of the underlying common stock over the expected term, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend payment. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, employees purchased 16,015 and 18,586 shares of the Company's common stock for a total cost of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the activities under the ESPP from January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021: Activity Total ESPP equity securities available at January 1, 2021 149,199 ESPP common stock purchased by eligible employees (16,015) Total ESPP securities available at June 30, 2021 133,184 Amounts withheld from participants will be classified as Accrued compensation and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until funds are used to purchase shares. This liability amount is immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock-Based Compensation Expense We record all stock-based compensation, which consist of RSUs, DSUs, restricted stock, equity in lieu of salary, and the option to purchase common stock under the ESPP, at fair value as of the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on a straight-line amortization basis over the respective service period. Forfeitures and withdrawals are accounted for as incurred.
