How do you calculate the cost basis of matching shares awarded after a vesting period and then sold under an ESPP program?

I did not receive a 1099-B nor any other documentation other than a Periodic Statement of purchases and sales, since my Employer was Australian.  I looked at my pay slip to find the amount of the ordinary income on my W2 from selling the stock before the two year vesting period.  I do not know what to do with the basis, if any, of the stock that was "Matched" after vesting with no cost to me.
