Equity Incentive Plan

10. Equity Incentive Plan

The Company may issue equity-based awards to members of its senior management team, its independent directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan provides for grants of stock options, shares of restricted common stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights, long term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units and other restricted limited partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 7.5% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis (assuming, if applicable, the exercise of all outstanding options and the conversion of all warrants and convertible securities, including OP units and LTIP units, into shares of common stock).

Reallocation of the Predecessor’s Membership Units

Concurrently with the IPO, the existing owners of the Predecessor reallocated and distributed a portion of their equity ownership to the employees of the Predecessor. Under this reallocation, employees received 202,826 shares of common stock, 128,348 restricted stock units and 135,938 OP units. This reallocation is accounted for as equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, with equity award valuations based on the IPO price of $12.50 per share. As the shares of common stock, restricted stock units and OP units were immediately vested, the Company recorded a compensation expense of $5.8 million on April 23, 2013. No tax benefits have been recorded related to this reallocation.

Awards of Shares of Restricted Common Stock

From time to time, the Company may award non-vested shares of restricted common stock under the 2013 Plan, as compensation to members of its senior management team, its independent directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel. The Board of Directors determines the vesting period for such shares at the date of grant. For shares issued, the Company recognizes compensation expense for non-vested shares of restricted common stock on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures. The calculation of the compensation expense assumes a forfeiture rate up to 5%.

On April 23, 2013, the Company granted 606,415 shares of restricted common stock at a grant-date fair value of $12.50 per share, which vest in equal annual installments over a four year period, on each anniversary following the completion of the IPO. For the period April 23, 2013 through June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $340,056 of equity-based compensation expense associated with these awards. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to awards of shares of restricted common stock subject to a vesting schedule, considering estimated forfeitures, is $6.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average term of approximately two years. The total fair value of shares vested (calculated as number of shares multiplied by vesting date share price) during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was zero. There were no forfeitures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

A summary of the non-vested shares of restricted common stock as of June 30, 2013 is as follows:
