2010 Equity Incentive Plan

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

(11)    Share-Based Compensation

On August 19, 2010, Territorial Bancorp Inc. adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC, the cost of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and option term. These assumptions are based on our judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and cannot be determined with precision. The cost of the awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three, five- or six-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.

The Company recognized compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the share-based award on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share-based compensation is recorded in the statement of income as a component of salaries and employee benefits with a corresponding increase in stockholders’ equity. The table below presents information on compensation expense and the related tax benefit for all share-based awards:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Shares of our common stock issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan shall come from authorized shares. The maximum number of shares that will be awarded under the plan will be 1,862,637 shares.

Pursuant to the provisions of our equity incentive plan, optionees are permitted to use the value of our common stock they own in a net settlement to pay the exercise price of stock options.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs related to the stock option plan.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. Unvested restricted stock may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock carries the right to receive dividends, although dividends attributable to restricted stock are retained by the Company until the shares vest, at which time they are paid to the award recipient. If performance based restricted stock awards do not achieve performance conditions, the restricted stock awards do not vest and the accrued dividends are forfeited.

The table below presents the restricted stock activity:

		Weighted
		Average Grant
	Restricted	Date Fair
	Stock	Value
Unvested at December 31, 2019	20,249	$	28.78

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 13,444 shares of restricted stock to certain members of executive management under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted stock is based on the value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock will vest over three years from the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $483,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 16,129 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) to certain members of executive management under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2023 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a performance condition that compares the Company’s return on average equity to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. Depending on the Company’s performance, the actual number of these PRSUs that are issued at the end of the vesting period can vary between 0% and 150% of the target award. For the PRSUs, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized.  This estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period.        

The table below presents the PRSUs that will vest on a performance condition:

	Performance-
	Based Restricted
	Stock Units	Weighted
	Based on a	Average Grant
	Performance	Date Fair

The fair value of these PRSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $531,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to these PRSUs. Performance will be measured over a three-year performance period and will be cliff vested.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 4,032 of PRSUs to certain members of executive management under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2023 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a market condition that compares the Company’s total stock return to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. The number of shares that will be expensed will not be adjusted for performance. The fair value of these PRSUs is based on a Monte Carlo valuation of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The assumptions which were used in the Monte Carlo valuation of the PRSUs are:

Grant date: March 12, 2020

Performance period: January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022

2.80 year risk-free rate on grant date: 0.56%

December 31, 2019 closing price: $30.94

Closing stock price on the date of grant: $21.05

Annualized volatility (based on 2.82 year historical volatility as of the grant date): 18.02%
