 is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, and expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the derived service period based on the expected market performance as of the grant date. We account for forfeitures of our stock-based awards as they occur rather than estimating expected forfeitures. As of March 31, 2025, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet recognized, which relates exclusively to the 2022 CEO option grant, was $4.6 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was approximately $36.6 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.In 2025, we changed our annual bonus program to provide eligible employees with the option to receive all or a portion of their earned annual bonuses for 2025, otherwise payable in cash, in the form of RSUs. The RSUs will be granted by our Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2026 and will be fully vested upon grant. The portion of the 2025 annual bonus to be paid in the form of RSUs is recorded as stock-based compensation expense while the related obligations are recorded as liabilities in the ‘Accrued compensation and related benefits’ line item on our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $1.2 million of stock-based compensation related to this program.

11. Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic, except the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include additional outstanding shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs, if dilutive. The dilutive effect, if any, of convertible shares is calculated
