In connection with the awards granted to service providers and non-employee consultants, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and 2021 (unaudited), the Company recorded stock compensation expenses in the amount of $29 and $19, respectively. Majority of these expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses.
Stock Options
Stock options may be granted to officers, directors, employees and non-employee consultants of the Company. Each option granted under the Plan expires no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The options vest usually over four years from commencement of employment or services. Any options, which are forfeited or not exercised before expiration, become available for future grants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), in connection with the TVS acquisition, Innovid issued 949,893 stock options to holders of TVS options for replacement options. These options were fully vested upon issuance due to acceleration upon acquisition and therefore do not require future service for vesting. The Company attributed a total amount $152 to post acquisition service and recorded as stock compensation expenses immediately after the acquisition closed. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the TVS acquisition.
A summary of the employees’ stock option activity under the Legacy Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) may be granted to officers, directors, employees and non-employee consultants of the Company, and generally vest over a three- or four-year period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily in connection with the Company's transition to its next life-cycle stage post Transaction, Innovid granted for the first time 7,113,780 and 169,287 RSUs to employees and non-employee consultants, respectively, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $6.60. The number of RSUs vested and forfeited during the period was 0 unit and 18,153 units, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, $46,922 of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted average period of 2.76 years.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs generally is determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of Innovid’s common stock on the date of grant.
