Equity Incentive Plans | 11. Equity Incentive Plans 2009 Equity Incentive Plan We adopted an equity incentive plan in 2009 (“2009 Plan”) that provided for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified common stock options and other share-based awards for employees, directors and consultants. Under the 2009 Plan, the exercise price for incentive and nonqualified stock options were not to be less than the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Stock options granted under this plan expire no later than ten years from the grant date and vesting was established at the time of grant. Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Plan, any shares subject to outstanding stock options originally granted under the 2009 Plan that terminate, expire or lapse for any reason without the delivery of shares to the holder thereof shall become available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2019 Plan. While no shares are available for future grant under the 2009 Plan, it continues to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan The 2019 Plan became effective immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering in July 2019. The 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of awards in the form of stock options and other share-based awards for employees, directors and consultants. Under the 2019 Plan, the stock option exercise price per share shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the effective date of grant, as defined by the 2019 Plan, unless explicitly qualified under the provisions of Section 409A or Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Additionally, unless otherwise specified, stock options granted under this plan expire no later than ten years from the grant date and vesting is established at the time of grant. Except for certain stock option and restricted stock unit grants made to non-employee directors, stock options and restricted stock units granted under the 2019 Plan generally vest over a four-year period, subject to continuous service through each applicable vesting date. As of June 30, 2023, we had 35,014,382 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan. Changes in shares available for grant during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows: Shares Available for Grant Shares available for grant at December 31, 2022 14,581,975 2019 Equity Incentive Plan reserve increase effective January 1, 2023 7,155,250 Stock options and restricted stock units granted and the maximum market-based restricted stock units granted eligible to be earned ( 9,749,483 ) Stock options and restricted stock units forfeited or expired 1,421,041 Shares available for grant at June 30, 2023 13,408,783 Stock Options Stock option activity under the 2009 Plan and 2019 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was as follows: Shares Subject to Weighted-Average Exercise Aggregate Intrinsic Value Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2022 13,520,997 $ 16.88 Stock options granted 1,612,032 8.46 Stock options forfeited ( 502,667 ) 17.43 Stock options expired ( 152,970 ) 30.78 Stock options exercised ( 347,405 ) 6.16 Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2023 14,129,987 $ 16.01 $ 2,377 Stock options vested and exercisable at June 30, 2023 8,872,007 $ 15.67 $ 2,377 The weighted-average remaining contractual life for stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2023 was 6.7 years. The weighted-average remaining contractual life for vested and exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2023 was 5.5 years. Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock unit activity under the 2019 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was as follows: Restricted Stock Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Nonvested restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2022 5,981,755 $ 14.11 Restricted stock units granted 6,719,011 8.39 Restricted stock units forfeited ( 765,404 ) 11.75 Restricted stock units vested ( 1,192,711 ) 14.51 Nonvested restricted stock units outstanding at June 30, 2023 10,742,651 $ 10.65 Market-Based Restricted Stock Units In addition to the restricted stock units described above, our board of directors approved awards of market-based restricted stock units to our chief executive officer and chief scientific officer in March 2023. The shares of common stock that may be earned under the awards, each ranging from zero shares to 709,220 shares, are calculated based upon our total shareholder return during a three-year performance period as measured against that of the group of companies comprising the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index as of the grant date, subject to certain adjustments to such index group. Except as expressly provided in the terms of each award's agreement, vesting is subject to the respective grantee's continuous service through the end of the three-year performance period. These market-based restricted stock units, along with those granted to our chief executive officer in March 2022, under which zero shares to 494,234 shares may be earned, remain outstanding as of June 30, 2023. Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units and Market-Based Restricted Stock Units Granted The estimated grant date fair values of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Fair value of common stock $ 8.46 $ 7.30 - $ 14.95 Expected term (in years) 5.27 - 6.08 5.27 - 6.08 Risk-free interest rate 4.2 % - 4.3 % 1.7 % - 3.0 % Expected volatility 71.2 % - 71.6 % 68.2 % - 71.0 % Expected dividend yield — — The determination of the grant date fair value of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the fair value of our common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables that are complex, subjective and generally require judgment to determine. The valuation assumptions were determined as follows: Fair value of common stock— The fair value of each share of common stock is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, or other relevant determination date, as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Expected term —The expected term of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors is determined using the “simplified” method, as illustrated in ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , as we do not have sufficient exercise history to determine a better estimate of expected term. Under this approach, the expected term is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term of the stock option. Risk-free interest rate —We utilize a risk-free interest rate in the option valuation model based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected terms of the stock options. Expected volatility —As we do not have sufficient trading history for our common stock, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded industry peers utilizing a period of time consistent with our estimate of expected term. Expected dividend yield —We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 5.61 and $ 7.36 , respectively. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, or other relevant determination date, as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 8.39 and $ 11.66 , respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of the market-based restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 13.82 and $ 18.89 , respectively, and was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which uses assumptions such as volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend estimated for the respective performance periods. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of the target payout level of the market-based restricted stock units outstanding as of June 30, 2023, 956,337 shares, was $ 15.13 . The aggregate share-based compensation expense of the market-based restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 9.8 million and $ 4.7 million, respectively, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective grants' three-year performance periods, which are also the requisite service periods. Attainment of each grant's respective market condition and the number of shares earned and vested does not impact the related share-based compensation expense recognized. Share-based compensation expense will be reversed only if the respective grantee does not provide continuous service through the respective performance period for reasons other than those expressly provided in the terms of the respective award. The compensation cost related to stock options, restricted stock units and market-based restricted stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Cost of revenue $ 1,061 $ 954 $ 2,355 $ 1,749 Research and development 5,531 4,643 10,080 8,988 Sales and marketing 4,439 3,584 7,870 6,813 General and administrative 6,314 4,999 11,711 9,491 Total share-based compensation expense $ 17,345 $ 14,180 $ 32,016 $ 27,041 As of June 30, 2023, unrecognized share-based compensation expense and the remaining weighted-average recognition period were as follows: Unrecognized Share-Based Remaining Weighted-Average Nonvested stock options $ 52,974 2.27 Nonvested restricted stock units 101,404 3.11 Nonvested market-based restricted stock units 11,373 2.45 |
