Stock Option Awards 

 

There were no stock option awards granted during the first nine months of 2018 or 2017. 

 

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units 

 

The 2017 Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was approved by the stockholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting on May 8, 2018. As a result, all awards outstanding under the 2017 Plan (including those cash/liability awards granted prior to the approval of the 2017 Plan) will entitle the recipient to receive shares of the Company’s common stock. 

 

All awards outstanding prior to the approval of the 2017 Plan were reclassified to restricted stock units (equity) effective May 8, 2018. The total liability reclassified to additional paid-in-capital was $0.4 million. This modification resulted in an increase in total fair value of $0.1 million, recognized over the terms of the grants, which range from 1 to 5 years. 

 

On June 1, 2018, the Company awarded restricted stock units with a grant date value of $55,000, for a total of 6,667 restricted stock units, to its newly-appointed non-employee director. This award of restricted stock units vests at the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The grant entitles the non-employee director to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of vested restricted stock units, together with dividend equivalents from the date of grant, at such time as the director’s service on the board terminates for any reason. 

 

Following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 8, 2018, the Company approved the award of restricted stock units with a grant date value of $60,000 to each non-employee director who was re-elected, for an aggregate of 31,372 restricted stock units. Each award of restricted stock units vests at the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each non-employee director is entitled to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of vested restricted stock units, together with dividend equivalents from the date of grant, at such time as the director’s service on the board terminates for any reason. 

 

Also on May 8, 2018, the Company granted 28,144 voting shares of restricted stock to new members of the management team. Of the 28,144 shares granted, 26,144 shares vest in one third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant and the remaining 2,000 shares vest in one third increments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant, in each case as long as the recipient is then employed by the Company. Any dividends declared will be accrued and paid if and when the related shares vest.

 

Total stock-based compensation cost was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in salaries and commissions for employees, and in other operating expenses for non-employee directors.
