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, performance based units 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 both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding was $0.4 million. In both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, payments related to tax withholding for stock-based compensation for certain officers of the Company was less than $0.1 million.

In January 2022, the Company granted an independent director 8,929 shares of restricted common stock, which vested immediately on the date of grant. The fair value of all shares awarded on the date of grant was $3.36 per share.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no options exercised. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were 23,755 options exercised generating proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.1 million.

At March 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock was approximately $2.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.0 years.
