STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
we have unvested restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding which were granted under the inTEST Corporation
2007
Stock Plan (the
"2007
Stock Plan") and the inTEST Corporation Second Amended and Restated
2014
Stock Plan (the
"2014
Stock Plan"). The
2007
Stock Plan was approved at our annual meeting of stockholders held on
June 13, 2007
and permitted the granting of stock options or restricted stock for up to
500,000
shares of our common stock to officers, other key employees and consultants.
No
further grants
may
be made under the
2007
Stock Plan. The
2014
Stock Plan was originally approved at our annual meeting of stockholders held on
June 25, 2014
and permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock units for up to
500,000
shares of our common stock to directors, officers, other key employees and consultants. On
June 27, 2018,
our stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the
2014
Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that
may
be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the
2014
Stock Plan from
500,000
to
1,000,000
shares. On
June 19, 2019,
our stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the
2014
Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that
may
be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the
2014
Stock Plan from
1,000,000
to
2,000,000
shares. As of
December 31, 2019,
there were
1,198,935
aggregate shares available to grant under the
2014
Plan.

Our unvested restricted stock awards and stock options are accounted for based on their grant date fair value. As of
December 
31,
2019,
total compensation expense to be recognized in future periods is
$1,779.
The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is
2.7
years.

The following table summarizes the compensation expense we recorded during
2019
and
2018,
related to unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options.

Stock Options


We record compensation expense for stock options based on the fair market value of the options as of the grant date.
No
option
may
be granted with an exercise period in excess of
ten
years from the date of grant. Generally, stock options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant and will vest over
four
years.

The fair value for stock options granted during
2019
and
2018
was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options issued during

was

and
$3.50,
respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards


We record compensation expense for restricted stock awards (unvested shares) based on the quoted market price of our stock at the grant date and amortize the expense over the vesting period. Restricted stock awards generally vest over
four
years, except for restricted stock awards granted to our directors, which vest over
one
year.
