Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2020, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders approved the Parts iD, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). The 2020 EIP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination.

The awards may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $3.2 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense was associated with outstanding RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.6 years.

Performance Based Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes the activity related to performance based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

As of March 31, 2023, the performance criteria included in the PSUs plan are unlikely to be achieved and accordingly the Company has no accrual of stock-based compensation expenses associated with the outstanding PSUs. The weighted average period of 0.77 years was remaining before the expiration of outstanding PSUs.
