NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
ParkerVision, Inc. (“ParkerVision”, “we” or the “Company”) is in the business of innovating and licensing fundamental wireless technologies.
We have designed and developed proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and integrated circuits based on those technologies, and we license those technologies to others for use in wireless communication products. We have expended significant financial and other resources to research and develop our RF technologies and to obtain patent protection for those technologies in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and certain foreign jurisdictions. We believe certain patents protecting our proprietary technologies have been broadly infringed by others, and therefore a primary focus of our business plan is the enforcement of our intellectual property rights through patent licensing and infringement litigation efforts. We currently have patent enforcement actions ongoing in various U.S. district courts against mobile handset, smart television and other WiFi product providers, as well as semiconductor suppliers, for the infringement of a number of our RF patents. We have made significant investments in developing and protecting our technologies, the returns on which are dependent upon the generation of future revenues for realization.
2. Liquidity and Going Concern
For thesix months ended* June 30, 2026*, we incurred a net loss of approximately $1.4 million and incurred negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1.7 million. At* June 30, 2026*, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $457.0 million. At* June 30, 2026*, we had working capital of $0.8 million, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million from working capital at* December 31, 2025.Our current liabilities at June 30, 2026include $1.1 million in convertible debt that matures over the nexttwelve* months ifnot converted, extended under the terms of the note, or otherwise modified. The timing and amount of proceeds, if any, from our patent enforcement actions are difficult to predict. Furthermore, a significant amount of future proceeds that we* mayreceive from our patent enforcement and licensing programs will be utilized to repay borrowings and legal fees and expenses under our contingent funding arrangements. These circumstances indicate there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern for a period ofone* year following the issue date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
We expect that proceeds received by us from patent enforcement actions and technology licenses over the nexttwelve months* may**not* alone be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements. We anticipate that all of our outstanding convertible notes will either (i) be converted by the holders prior to their scheduled maturity dates, or (ii) have their maturity dates automatically extended as provided under the terms of certain agreements; however, conversion and/or extension is at the option of the holder and there can beno assurance with respect to the holder's behavior. Even with the conversions or extensions of our convertible debt by the holders, our current capital resources arenot sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the nexttwelve months and we* maybe required to seek additional capital. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs for the nexttwelve* months is dependent upon (i) our ability to successfully negotiate licensing agreements and/or settlements relating to the use of our technologies by others in excess of our contingent payment obligations, (ii) our ability to control operating costs, (iii) the behavior of our convertible note holders, and/or (iv) our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing.
6
We expect to continue to invest in the support of our patent licensing and enforcement program. The long-term continuation of our business plan is dependent upon the generation of sufficient cash flows from our technology licenses to offset expenses and debt obligations. In the event that we donot generate sufficient cash flows, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing or contingent fee arrangements and/or reduce operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs will have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.
3. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for thethree andsix month periods ended* June 30, 2026* were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form10-Q and Rule10-01 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for thesix months ended* June 30, 2026*, arenot necessarily indicative of the results that* maybe expected for the year ending December 31, 2026*, or future years. All normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations have been included.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended* December 31, 2025*. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our latest Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended* December 31, 2025* (“2025 Annual Report”).
4. Accounting Policies
In* November 2024,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic470*-20) - Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or an extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. We adopted ASU2024-04 beginning* January 1, 2026,however, it didnot* have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
There have beenno other changes in accounting policies from those stated in our2025 Annual Report. We donot expect any newly effective accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.
5. Revenue
We have an active monitoring and enforcement program with respect to our intellectual property rights that includes seeking appropriate compensation fromthird parties that utilize or have utilized our intellectual property without a license. As a result, we* may*receive payments as part of a settlement or in the form of court-awarded damages for a patent infringement dispute. We recognize such payments as revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
No revenue was recognized during thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025*.

6. Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants is calculated using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares underlying convertible notes was calculated using the if-converted method. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for thethree andsix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025* (net income and shares in thousands):

The SKGF note, as amended from time to time, accrues interest at a rate of 4% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $12,500 with a final balloon payment of approximately $0.02 million in* April 2027.*
9. Convertible Notes
For thesix months ended* June 30, 2026*, convertible notes with a face value of $0.1 million were converted, at the option of the holder, into approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock and convertible notes with a face value of $0.05 million were repaid upon maturity. For thesix months ended* June 30, 2025*, convertible notes with a face value of $0.4 million were converted, at the option of the holder, into approximately 2.8 million shares of our common stock, including $0.2 million of convertible notes held by related parties.
Additionally, during thesix months ended* June 30, 2026*, we entered into exchange agreements to exchange outstanding principal and accrued interest of approximately $0.7 million of convertible notes for unregistered shares of our common stock (see Note13).
We recognized interest expense on our convertible debt of approximately $0.1 million for each of thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025*, respectively. During each of thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025*, we elected to pay approximately $0.1 million of interest in shares of our common stock and issued approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock as interest-in-kind payments in each period.

10. Contingent Payment Obligations
Secured Contingent Payment Obligation
The following table provides a reconciliation of our secured contingent payment obligation, measured at estimated fair value, for thesix months ended* June 30, 2026* and the year ended* December 31, 2025* (in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Secured contingent payment obligation, beginning of period | $39,650 | $40,724 |
| Change in fair value | (640) | (1,074) |
| Secured contingent payment obligation, end of period | $39,010 | $39,650 |

Our secured contingent payment obligation consists of a secured, non-recourse note (the "Note") and a prepaid forward purchase agreement (the "PPFPA") with Brickell Key Investments, LP (“Brickell”). The Note has a face value of $45.5 million ("Face Value"), accrues simple interest at a fixed rate, and matures on* August 14, 2028.Payments under the Note will be made solely from proceeds from our patent assets, net of contingent fees payable to attorneys ("Distributions"). We are obligated to pay Brickellone hundred* percent (100%) of thefirst $5.8 million in Distributions, and thereafter will pay Brickell a percentage of Distributions, which varies depending upon the origin of the Distributions, until the Face Value of the Note, and accrued interest thereon, has been repaid in full. If the amounts payable to Brickell from Distributions are insufficient to repay the face value and interest accrued on the Note by the maturity date, our remaining repayment obligations under the Note will be reduced tozero with future payment obligations, if any, being determined under the PPFPA. The Note is secured by our patent assets and related proceeds and contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Note contains events of default including, butnot limited to, (a) failure to pay principal or interest on the Note when due; (b) breach of representations or covenants; (c) impairment in the perfection or priority of Brickell's security interests in the collateral; and (d) bankruptcy or dissolution of the Company. In the event of a default, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note will become immediately due and payable. The PPFPA extends beyond the maturity date of the Note and provides that Brickell is entitled to a specified percentage of monetary recoveries resulting from our patent-related actions to the extentnot already paid to Brickell under the Note, or otherwise prior to the inception of the Note. The PPFPA also contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Note and PPFPA are collectively referred to as our secured contingent payment obligation.
We have elected to measure our secured contingent payment obligation at its estimated fair value based on probability-weighted estimated cash outflows, discounted back to present value using a discount rate determined in accordance with accepted valuation methods (see Note11). The secured contingent payment obligation is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with changes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) until the contingency is resolved.
The underlying carrying value of the Note, which includes the Face Value plus accrued interest, was approximately $71.5 million and $67.4 million as of* June 30, 2026* and* December 31, 2025*, respectively. The range of potential proceeds payable to Brickell is discussed more fully in Note11.
Unsecured Contingent Payment Obligations
The following table provides a reconciliation of our unsecured contingent payment obligations, measured at estimated fair value, for thesix months ended* June 30, 2026* and the year ended* December 31, 2025* (in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Unsecured contingent payment obligations, beginning of period | $6,439 | $5,935 |
| Change in fair value | (686) | 504 |
| Unsecured contingent payment obligations, end of period | $5,753 | $6,439 |
11
Our unsecured contingent payment obligations represent amounts payable to others from future patent-related proceeds including (i) a termination fee due to a litigation funder and (ii) contingent payment rights issued to accredited investors in connection with equity financings. We have elected to measure these unsecured contingent payment obligations at their estimated fair value based on probability-weighted estimated cash outflows, discounted back to present value using a discount rate determined in accordance with accepted valuation methods. The unsecured contingent payment obligations will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with changes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) until the contingency is resolved (see Note11). The maximum repayment obligation for our unsecured contingent payment obligations is approximately $10.8 million.
11. Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Our convertible notes are recorded at face value in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of* June 30, 2026* and* December 31, 2025*. As of* June 30, 2026* and* December 31, 2025*, the estimated fair value of our convertible notes was approximately $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and would be categorized within Level2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables summarize the fair value of our contingent payment obligations measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of* June 30, 2026* and* December 31, 2025* (in thousands):

The fair values of our secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations were estimated using a probability-weighted income approach based on various cash flow scenarios as to the outcome of patent-related actions both in terms of timing and amount, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate. We used risk-adjusted discount rates for the secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations of 18.15% and 18.14%, respectively, at* June 30, 2026*, based on risk-free rates of 4.15% and 4.14%, respectively, as adjusted by 8% for credit risk and 6% for litigation inherent risk. We used risk-adjusted discount rates for the secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations of 17.55% and 17.47%, respectively, at* December 31, 2025*, based on risk-free rates of 3.55% and 3.47%, respectively, as adjusted by 8% for credit risk and 6% for litigation inherent risk.
The following table provides quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement of fair value for both the secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations at* June 30, 2026* and* December 31, 2025*, including the lowest and highest undiscounted payout scenarios as well as a weighted average payout scenario based on relative undiscounted fair value of each cash flow scenario.

We evaluate the estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of our contingent payment obligations each reporting period and make any adjustments prospectively based on those evaluations. Changes in any of these Level3 inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. These proceedings include patent enforcement actions initiated by us against others for the infringement of our technologies, as well as proceedings brought by others against us at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTAB”) in an attempt to invalidate certain of our patent claims. The majority of our litigation, including our PTAB proceedings, is being paid for through contingency fee arrangements with our litigation counsel as well asthird-party litigation financing. In general, litigation counsel is entitled to recoup on a priority basis, from litigation proceeds, any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Following reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, litigation counsel is generally entitled to a percentage of remaining proceeds based on the terms of the specific arrangement between us, counsel and ourthird-party litigation funder.
ParkerVision v. Qualcomm (Middle District of Florida-Orlando Division) - Appealed to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
ParkerVision v. Qualcomm currently has asecond appeal underway at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") with respect to this case. In* September 2024,the CAFC issued its opinion on thefirst* appeal of pre-trial rulings in this case, ruling in our favor on all issues and remanding the case back to district court. Upon reopening the case, the district court granted on reconsideration, Qualcomm's motion for athird claim construction briefing with respect totwo previously undisputed claim terms that were critical to the* September 2024appellate court decision. In May 2025,following briefing by both parties, the district court issued a claim construction order adopting Qualcomm's proposed constructions for thetwo* claim terms. This decision, in essence, precluded us, once again, from asserting our receiver claims in the case. In* June 2025,we filed a Rule54*(b) motion requesting that the court enter a final judgment of noninfringement on our receiver claims, based on the court's claim construction, and sever and stay the remaining transmit claims in the case to allow us to immediately appeal the most recent claim construction order and avoid the inefficiency of potentiallytwo separate trials. The district court granted this motion in* August 2025,and we immediately filed an appeal with the CAFC, requesting an expedited schedule. Qualcomm filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of proper jurisdiction. The CAFC granted the expedited schedule and ordered the parties to brief the jurisdictional issue in their briefs along with the basis for the appeal. Oral argument was held on June 1, 2026,*and we are currently awaiting a decision from the CAFC.
ParkerVision v. MediaTek (Western District of Texas)
We filed three patent infringement actions in the Western District of Texas against MediaTek Inc. and MediaTek USA Inc. (collectively, "MediaTek"), alleging infringement of an aggregate often of our patents. A jury trial for thefirst MediaTek action was scheduled to commence on* March 20, 2026.However, on March 16, 2026,at a pretrial conference, the court postponed the trial date pending requested updates to the expert reports and related briefings. We submitted our supplemental expert reports in May 2026.The current schedule provides for all final pre-trial motions to be submitted by October 12, 2026.A new trial date hasnot* yet been set, and it is expected that Judge Albright's replacement will preside over the trial given Albright's pending departure from the bench.
Thesecond MediaTek action was stayed pending the PTAB's final written decisions on IPRs that could impact the patents in this case. The PTAB issued an unfavorable decision in* May 2026which we appealed to the CAFC (seeMediaTek v. ParkerVision (PTAB)* below).
Thethird MediaTek action currently has a trial date tentatively scheduled for* April 2027,*although we anticipate this date will be extended based on the current case status.
ParkerVision v. Realtek (Western District of Texas)
We filedtwo patent infringement actions in the Western District of Texas against Realtek Semiconductor Corp. ("Realtek"), alleging infringement of an aggregate ofseven of our patents. One of theseven patents was dropped from the litigation in* August 2024.Thetwo Realtek cases were scheduled for trial in January 2026and April 2026,respectively. In December 2025,the court combined thetwo cases into a single trial scheduled to commence April 27, 2026,and the parties agreed to narrow the combined case to an aggregate ofthree patents. In April 2026,as a result of the amended expert reports requested inParkerVision v. MediaTek*, the court postponed the* April 27, 2026trial date. In April 2026,the court issued an order vacating all dates in this case following Judge Albright's announcement of his intent to step down from the bench. A new judge has been assigned to this case, butno* trial date or other deadlines have been set yet in this case.
ParkerVision v. Texas Instruments (Western District of Texas)
We filed a patent infringement action in the Western District of Texas against Texas Instruments ("TI") in2023, alleging infringement ofthree of our patents. This case was stayed in2025 pending the PTAB's final written decisions on IPRs for thethree patents in this case. The PTAB has issued unfavorable decisions for each of thethree IPRs, and we are seeking appeal of these decisions (seeTexas Instruments and NXP v. ParkerVision (PTAB) below).
ParkerVision v. NXP Semiconductors (Western District of Texas)
We filed a patent infringement action in the Western District of Texas against NXP Semiconductors ("NXP") in2023, alleging infringement ofthree of our patents. This case was stayed in2025 pending the PTAB's final written decisions on IPRs for thethree patents in this case. The PTAB has issued unfavorable decisions for each of thethree IPRs, and we are seeking appeal of these decisions (seeTexas Instruments and NXP v. ParkerVision (PTAB) below).
MediaTek v. ParkerVision (PTAB)
MediaTek filed a petition for IPR in* May 2024against the'686* patent,one of the patents asserted in thesecond MediaTek infringement action. The PTAB instituted this IPR in* November 2024,and in May 2026,the PTAB issued its final written decision determining that the challenged claims in this petition were unpatentable. We appealed this decision to the CAFC in July 2026.*
In* October 2024,MediaTek filed a petition for IPR against the'593* patent,one of the patents asserted in thethird MediaTek action. The PTAB instituted this IPR in* March 2025.On March 31, 2026,the PTAB issued its decision, ruling that the challenged claims in this petition were unpatentable. In June 2026,*we filed an appeal with the CAFC with respect to this PTAB decision.
Texas Instruments and NXP v. ParkerVision (PTAB)
Texas Instruments filed three petitions for IPR in* May 2024against each of the patents asserted in the TI action. Allthree IPRs were instituted by the PTAB in November 2024and in December 2024,the PTAB granted a motion by NXP to jointwo of the IPRs for patents also asserted against NXP. In November 2025,the PTAB issued its final written decision inone* of the IPRs filed by TI, deeming the challenged claims of our*'342* patent to be unpatentable. We filed a request for review of this decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") director and that request was denied in* March 2026.In May 2026,*we filed an appeal with the CAFC.
In* May 2026,the PTAB issued its final written decisions with respect to the joint TI/NXP IPRs against our'528* and*'177* patents, finding the challenged claims of each of these patents to be unpatentable. We filed a request for review of the*'528* patent decision by the USPTO director in* June 2026and filed an appeal with the CAFC with respect to the'177* patent in* July 2026.*
Other Patent-Related Actions
In addition to the actions discussed above, we have additional patent infringement actions against Qualcomm, Apple, Inc., LG, LG Electronics, and TCL that have been stayed pending the outcomes of other active cases. There have beenno material changes to these outstanding legal proceedings during the six months ended* June 30, 2026*.
Other Non-Patent Legal Actions
We are currently in arbitration proceedings with a former litigation firm, Goldberg Segalla LLP ("Goldberg") for disputed amounts due upon termination of that firm's engagement in2021. We have been indemnified by our subsequent litigation firm for the costs of these proceedings. Our litigation funder, Brickell, filed a lawsuit against Goldberg for alleged amounts owed by Goldberg to Brickell under a lending agreement. Goldberg countersued Brickell and also named our litigation counsel, Daignault Iyer ("DI") and our chief executive officer, Jeffrey Parker, alleging that the attorney contingency fees from our2023 litigation settlement were improperly disbursed. We have been indemnified for legal fees related to these actions.
13. Stock Authorization and Issuance
Stock Issuances
Debt Exchange
On* March**13,* 2026, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of our outstanding convertible promissory notes that had a fixed conversion price of $0.25 per share and matured in* March 2026.Pursuant to the agreements, the holders agreed to exchange the outstanding principal amount of the notes held by them, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the closing date of the exchange, for unregistered shares of our common stock at an exchange price of $0.21 per share. In connection with the exchange, we issued an aggregate of approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock to the holders in exchange for the cancellation of notes having an aggregate outstanding principal and unpaid interest of approximately $0.7 million (see Note9*). We recognized a loss of approximately $0.1 million as a result of the debt extinguishment.
Shelf Registration and Registered Direct Offerings
In* May 2025,we filed a shelf registration statement ("Shelf") for the offering of various securities, up to $25.0 million. The Shelf, which was declared effective May 25, 2025,was intended to provide flexibility for our future capital needs and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, vendor purchases, and other capital needs. During the year ended December 31, 2025,we sold an aggregate of 21.2 million shares of common stock under the Shelf for gross proceeds of $4.5 million. Upon filing our2025* Annual Report, weno longer satisfied the market capitalization eligibility requirements of the Shelf and therefore it canno longer be utilized for our future capital needs.
Common Stock Warrants
During thesix months ended* June 30, 2026*,1.8 million warrants, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.67 per share, expired unexercised. As of* June 30, 2026*, we had remaining outstanding warrants for the purchase of up to 2.5 million shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $0.60 per share and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 2.9 years. These warrants have an estimated grant date fair value of $1.2 million which is included in additional paid-in capital in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14. Share-Based Compensation
There has beenno material change in the assumptions used to compute the fair value of our equity awards, nor in the method used to account for share-based compensation from those stated in our2025 Annual Report.
During thesix months ended* June 30, 2026,the compensation committee of our Board of Directors (the "Committee") granted nonqualified share options under our2019* Long-term Incentive Plan (the*"2019* Plan") to executives and key employees for the purchase of up to 10.8 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share, including performance-based stock options awarded to the CEO, CFO, and a key employee for the purchase of up to 9.0 million shares. The performance-based options have afive-year performance period, with quarterly measurement dates, and expireten years from the date of grant. The performance conditions for vesting of these options are based on cumulative net cash received by the Company from its patent enforcement actions, after deduction of all attorney contingency fees and contractual repayments of contingent payment obligations tothird parties. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the performance-based awards is approximately $2.2 million which is amortized to share-based compensation expense over the performance period based on the probability of the performance condition being met which is assessed at each interim reporting period. Upon forfeiture of performance-based options, any previously recognized share-based compensation expense is reversed. The remaining awards are time-based options that vest infour equal biannual installments and have a grant date fair value of approximately $0.5 million that will be amortized to share-based compensation expense over thetwo-year vesting period.
In* April 2026,the Committee also authorized the modification of an aggregate of 5.53 million fully-vested, nonqualified share options held by executives, board members, and key employees. The options, which were awarded in August 2019,are exercisable at $0.171 per share and had an original expiration date of August 7, 2026.The Committee extended the expiration date of the options bythree years, or until August 7, 2029.*No other modifications were made to these awards. We recognized aone-time, non-cash charge to share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million, representing the incremental fair value of the options as a result of the modification, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
During thesix months ended* June 30, 2025,the Committee authorized the modification of an aggregate of 10.65 million fully-vested, nonqualified share options held by executives and key employees. The options, which were awarded in January 2021,are exercisable at $0.54 per share and had an original expiration date of January 11, 2026.The Committee extended the expiration date of the options byfive years, or until January 11, 2031.*No other modifications were made to these awards. We recognized aone-time, non-cash charge to share-based compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million, representing the incremental fair value of the options as a result of the modification, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
For thethree months ended* June 30, 2026and2025*, we recognized share-based compensation expense, including expense related to the modification of awards, of approximately $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025*, we recognized share-based compensation expense, including expense related to the modifications of awards, of approximately $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Share-based compensation includes expense attributable to equity-based awards to employees, directors, andthird parties and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). As of* June 30, 2026*, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based compensation awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 3.5 years.
