The summary of RSU activity is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
On December 16, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a performance-based bonus program under which RSUs will be awarded in connection with the achievement of specified goals to be achieved in 2022 ("2022 Bonus Plan"). The RSU awards will be granted when the achievement of each goal is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, and the RSUs will vest on January 1, 2023 provided the employee or consultant continues to be a service provider on that date. The target bonus opportunity is equal to 30% of the employee’s base salary as of the applicable grant date unless otherwise established by the Company’s Compensation Committee, with stretch bonus goals that are one-third higher than the target amounts.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $7.5 million and $14.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, in relation to 2022 Bonus Plan. The Company will consider the probability of achieving of each of the performance goals at the end of each reporting period and will recognize expense over the requisite period when achievement of the goal is determined to be probable, and will adjust the expense if the probability of achieving the goal later changes. In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation, awards under 2022 Bonus Plan are classified as a liability until such time that the respective milestones have been met, at which point the liability is reclassified to equity. If it is determined that the milestone cannot be met, the liability will be reversed.
