Stock-Based Compensation

15.Stock-Based Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of the Company’s  stock incentive plans, which include the balance of shares remaining under the 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2011 LTIP") and 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2017 LTIP"), which was approved by shareholders in May 2017 and authorized the maximum aggregate number of shares to be issued of 2,400,000. In general, the Company’s 2017 LTIP provides for grants of restricted stock and stock options to be issued with a per-share price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Option terms are specified at each grant date but generally are 10 years from the date of issuance. Options generally vest over a three to five-year period.

The Company applies a 3.2% and a 5.5% forfeiture rate, which is compounded over the vesting terms of the individual award, to its restricted stock and option grants, respectively, based on historical analysis.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, payments related to tax withholding for stock-based compensation for certain officers and directors of the Company was less than $0.1 million and none, respectively.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were 23,755 options exercised generating proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.1 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no options exercised.

At March 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock and options was approximately $2.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two years.
