Stock-Based Compensation
 
Predecessor
 
The Predecessor accounted for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic
718
Compensation–Stock Compensation
(“ASC
718”
), which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant. As a result of the Business Combination, all unvested awards were immediately vested, resulting in an amount of
$0.6
million of stock-based compensation expense presented “on the line” (see Business Combination footnote). Stock-based compensation for the Predecessor period from
November 1, 2018
to
December 5, 2018
totaled
$0.1
million, and has been included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. 
 
Successor
 
The Company rolled forward certain vested options from the Predecessor to
2,783,479
equivalent vested options in the Successor.
No
incremental compensation costs were recognized on conversion as the fair value of the options issued were equivalent to the fair value of the vested options of the Predecessor. As of
January 31, 2019,
no
share-based awards have been granted by the Successor and therefore,
no
expense has been recorded.
