On July 6, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, which became effective on July 20, 2021, under which 6,600,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were reserved for issuance. On January 1, 2022, the number of shares available under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan increased to 8,836,972. As of September 30, 2022, 4,476,967 shares remained available for future grants. Restricted Stock and RSUs are subject to graded vesting with approximately one-third of such grants vesting on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. At vesting of the RSUs, the Company issues shares of Class A common stock.
The fair value of the Restricted Stock and RSUs is based upon our stock price at grant date and is expensed over the vesting period. We classify both Restricted Stock and RSUs as equity instruments. Share-based compensation expense is included in employee compensation and benefits in the condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations, with the corresponding increase included in additional paid-in capital or non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. If the recipient leaves prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock or RSUs, the awards are forfeited. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reversed approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation related to Restricted Stock and RSU forfeitures.
Restricted Stock is Class A common stock with certain restrictions that relate to trading and carry the possibility of forfeiture. Holders of Restricted Stock have full voting rights and receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period. RSUs represent rights to one share of common stock for each unit. Holders of RSUs receive dividends during the vesting period but do not have voting rights.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 50,137 RSUs were issued at a weighted-average fair value per share of $23.84.
The following summarizes Restricted Stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in thousands, except per share data):
The total value at grant date of Restricted Stock and RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $73.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, 5,013,296 shares of Restricted Stock and 66,637 RSUs were expected to vest with an aggregate intrinsic value of $72.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for all unvested Restricted Stock and RSU awards was $67.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.
Profits Interests
The Operating Company issued profits interests in the Operating Company and certain Fund Managers in 2019, 2020, and 2021 to certain members of management to participate in the growth of the Operating Company and the respective Fund Managers. A holding company was formed for each of the Fund Managers to hold these profits interests. The holding company’s ownership equates from 5% to 40% of the related Fund Managers above a certain income and valuation threshold. The Operating Company issued two types of profits interests: (i) award shares and (ii) anti-dilutive shares. The fair value of these awards was determined using a Monte Carlo Valuation model. Each of the awards has an earnings threshold for distributions and equity appreciation. The grant date fair value of the profits interests awards are expensed over the vesting period. The award shares are subject to graded vesting with approximately one-third of such grants vesting on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The Operating Company also issued anti-dilutive awards to active partners. Since the anti-dilutive awards were fully vested, the Company recorded 100% of the fair value as share-based compensation in the year the anti-dilutive shares were granted.
In August 2022, the Company issued profits interests in certain Fund Managers to certain members of management to participate in the growth of the respective Fund Managers (the “2022 profits interests”). Each of the 2022 profits interests awards have an earnings threshold for distributions. The 2022 profits interests are also subject to continued employment and graded vesting with approximately one-third of such grants vesting on the first, second and third anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The grant date fair value was determined to be $8.0 million using a Monte Carlo Valuation model, which will be expensed over the respective vesting periods.
If the recipient of a profits interests award leaves after the awards vest, the Company has the option to repurchase such profits interests at fair value. If the recipient leaves prior to vesting, the recipient’s awards are forfeited.
At September 30, 2022, the aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for all unvested profits interests awards was $10.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
