Share based compensation | Note 11. Share-based compensation 2019 Share incentive plan In June 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its shareholders approved, the 2019 Share Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options, nonqualified share options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), other share-based awards and performance awards. The number of shares that were issued under the 2019 Plan was 3,400,000, in addition to the 240,037 RSAs and RSUs the Company granted in substitution for unvested Class B Units or phantom units in VCH, L.P. in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) based on a price of $12.00 per share (“Recapitalization Awards”). The share reserve under the 2019 Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 and continue until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2029. The number of shares added annually will be equal to the lowest of 1,320,000 shares, 5% of the number of the Company’s shares outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year, or an amount determined by the Board of Directors. On March 24, 2020, the Company registered 1,283,649 additional shares that may be issued under the 2019 Plan. The Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors are eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Plan. Incentive share options, however, may only be granted to its employees. Participants in the 2019 Plan will also consist of persons to whom Recapitalization Awards were granted. The following table summarizes changes in the number of shares available for grant under the Company’s equity incentive plans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020: Number of shares Available for grant at December 31, 2019 426,022 2019 Share Incentive Plan added January 1, 2020 1,283,649 RSUs granted (506,500 ) Options granted (60,000 ) Shares withheld in settlement of taxes 9,148 Forfeitures 155,000 Available for grant at June 30, 2020 1,307,319 Share-based compensation The following table shows total share-based compensation expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 (unaudited and in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2020 2019 2020 Cost of revenues $ 182 $ 18 $ 182 $ 35 Research and development 4,863 422 4,863 790 Sales and marketing 3,607 243 3,607 475 General and administrative 7,426 257 7,426 451 Total share-based compensation expense $ 16,078 $ 940 $ 16,078 $ 1,751 For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, the Company recorded corresponding tax benefits of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, the Company recorded corresponding tax benefits of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company began recognizing share-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, the period in which the Company completed its Recapitalization and IPO. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $15.4 million of share-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 related to the Recapitalization Awards. As of June 30, 2020, the Company estimates the pre-tax unrecognized compensation expense of $10.6 million related to all unvested share-based awards, including share options, restricted share units and restricted share awards will be recognized through the second quarter of 2029. The Company expects to satisfy the exercise of share options and future distributions of shares for restricted share units and restricted share awards by issuing new ordinary shares which have been reserved under the 2019 Plan. The Company utilized a forfeiture rate of 5% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 for estimating the forfeitures of share options and restricted share units granted. Share options The following is a summary of option activity for the Company’s share incentive plans for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (unaudited): Options Weighted average exercise price Weighted Average remaining contractual term (years) Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,920,500 $ 10.40 9.6 $ 1,932,000 Options granted 60,000 $ 6.80 — $ — Options forfeited (155,000 ) $ 10.72 — $ — Outstanding at June 30, 2020 2,825,500 $ 10.30 9.2 $ 819,000 Options exercisable at June 30, 2020 580,750 $ 12.00 9.0 $ — Options vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2020 2,666,741 $ 10.34 9.2 $ 754,808 Share options typically have a contractual term of ten years from grant date.

The unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized through the fourth quarter of 2023. The fair value of options granted are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of share options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of share options is estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions (unaudited): For the six months ended June 30, 2019 2020 Expected dividend yield — — Risk-free interest rate 1.82 % 0.43 % Weighted-average expected volatility 40.8 % 48.9 % Expected term (in years) 6.0 6.5 Weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted $ 5.00 $ 3.22 Restricted shares The following is a summary of restricted shares activity for the Company’s share incentive plans for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (unaudited): Units Weighted average grant date fair value RSU and RSA balance at December 31, 2019 257,119 $ 12.00 RSUs and RSAs granted 506,500 $ 4.56 RSUs and RSAs vested (14,086 ) $ 12.00 RSUs and RSAs forfeited (5,078 ) $ 12.00 RSU and RSA balance at June 30, 2020 744,455 $ 6.94 RSUs and RSAs expected to vest at June 30, 2020 744,455 $ 6.94 During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, 506,500 RSUs were granted under the Company’s 2019 Share Incentive Plan and 14,086 RSUs vested.

The ESPP was effective on June 25, 2019; however, no offering period or purchase period under the ESPP has begun as of June 30, 2020 and will begin when determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. During 2019, a total of 550,000 shares were made available under the ESPP. Per the ESPP, the number of shares that will be available for sale also includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2020, equal to the lesser of: 275,000 shares; 1% of the outstanding shares as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as the administrator may determine.
