| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation During 2018, Landsea Holdings created a long-term incentive compensation program designed to align the interests of Landsea Holdings, the Company, and its executives by enabling key employees to participate in the Company’s future growth through the issuance of phantom equity awards. Landsea Holdings’ phantom equity awards issued on or after January 1, 2018 were accounted for pursuant to ASC 710, Compensation, as the value was not based on the shares of comparable public entities or other equity, but was based on the book value of Landsea Holdings' equity. Landsea Holdings measured the value of phantom equity awards on a quarterly basis using the intrinsic value method and pushed down the expense to the Company as the employees participating in the long-term incentive compensation program primarily benefit the Company. In connection with the Merger all of the phantom equity awards vested and were either paid out in cash or were converted to stock of LHC and the program was terminated. The Company recorded $2.7 million in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the accelerated vesting of the phantom awards. The Company paid cash of $2.9 million for the phantom stock awards and granted 0.2 million shares with a grant date value of $1.9 million at the time of the Merger.
The Company has developed the Landsea Homes Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan ("the Plan") which provides for the grant of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock, any of which may be performance-based, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering 0.1 million shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $9.69 per share that vested immediately. In association with all grants issued, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not grant any RSUs or recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
There are no unvested grants of RSUs as of March 31, 2021.
