Stock-Based Compensation

(3)Stock-Based Compensation

鶹app grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation, as discussed below:

(1) Grant cliff vests on December 29, 2023. Grant was made in connection with the CEO’s employment agreement.
(2) Grant vests in equal quarterly installments over 2023.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase Series A or Series B 鶹app SiriusXM, 鶹app Braves or 鶹app Formula One common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Also during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted 31 thousand and 81 thousand performance-based RSUs of Series C common stock of 鶹app Braves and 鶹app Formula One, respectively, to our CEO. The RSUs had a GDFV of $34.44 per share and $75.12 per share, respectively, and cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized. When the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The probability of satisfying the performance objectives is assessed at the end of each reporting period.

鶹app calculates the GDFV for all of its equity classified options and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified options using the Black-Scholes Model. 鶹app estimates the expected term of the options based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for options is based on the historical volatility of 鶹app common stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded 鶹app options. 鶹app uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.
