Share-Based Compensation

13.Share-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 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 LTIP”), which was approved by shareholders in May of 2022 and authorized 2,175,000 shares, the maximum aggregate number to be issued, plus any shares available for grant under prior long term incentive plans as of the date the 2022 LTIP was approved, and any shares subject to awards granted under the prior plans that expire or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated. In general, the Company’s 2022 LTIP provides for grants of restricted stock, performance based awards and stock options to be issued with a per-share price not less than 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, 2024 and 2023, compensation expense related to share-based awards outstanding was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, payments related to tax withholding for share-based compensation for certain officers of the Company were none and $0.2 million, respectively.

On March 4, 2024, an executive of the Company was awarded a total of 2,197 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years and a fair value of $6.83 per share.

On March 20, 2024, the Company granted certain executives a total of 109,503 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years and a fair value of $8.36 per share.

On March 20, 2024, the Company granted certain executives a total of 205,322 performance-based units. The performance-based units will potentially vest 100% if the target is met, with 50% of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on invested capital, measured over a three-year performance period and 50% of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on relative total shareholder return, measured over a three-year performance period. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving this each reporting period. The fair value of the grants awarded related to the return on invested capital was $8.36 per share and the fair value of the grants awarded related to the relative total shareholder return will be valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were 46,322 options exercised generating proceeds to the Company of $0.3 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no options exercised.

At March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock was approximately $5.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.4 years.
