Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The compensation expense that has been charged against income for our share-based compensation arrangements was $2.6 million, $2.9 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Restricted Stock Awards — Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold, encumbered or disposed of and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or separation from the board of directors prior to the end of a restricted period set by the compensation committee of the board of directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise. The following table summarizes information about restricted stock grants (in millions, except for share data):

As of December 31, 2016, there was approximately $4.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our equity incentive plans. This expense is subject to future adjustments for vesting and forfeitures and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period listed above for each grant.

As noted in footnote 2, we have elected to report forfeitures as they occur as opposed to estimating future forfeitures in our share-based compensation expense. Additional expense was reported in the year ended December 31, 2016 of $0.1 million for estimated forfeitures that pertained to expense reported in the first and second quarters of 2016. A summary of the status of our restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2016 and changes during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is presented below:

Employees surrendered approximately 135 thousand shares of our common stock in connection with the vesting of restricted stock during 2016 to satisfy income tax withholding obligations.

As of December 31, 2016, a total of 868 thousand shares were available for future grants from the shares authorized for award under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, including cumulative forfeitures.

Repurchase of Common Stock — We did not repurchase any of our common stock on the open market as part of a stock repurchase program during 2016; however, our employees surrendered 135 thousand shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted stock awards issued under our 2014 EIP and the Fourth Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan.
