Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]
12.
Stock-Based Compensation
 
As of
March 31, 2019,
we had
two
stock-based compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and the Second Amended and Restated
2014
Equity Incentive Plan (the
“2014
Plan”).  On
May 9, 2019,
our shareholders approved the Fourth Amended and Restated
2014
Equity Incentive Plan (the "Fourth Amended
2014
Plan").  Among other things, the Fourth Amended
2014
Plan (i) increased the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Fourth Amended
2014
Plan by
2,000,000
shares and (ii) extended the term of the Fourth Amended
2014
Plan by approximately
two
years. As of
March 
31,
2019,
78,169
shares remained available for issuance under the ESPP and
1,796,770
shares remained available for issuance under the
2014
Plan (including the additional shares authorized by the Fourth Amended
2014
Plan).
 
Exercises and vestings under our stock-based compensation plans resulted in
no
income tax-related charges to additional paid-in capital during the
three
months ended
March 
31,
2019
and
2018.
 
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018,
we granted
205,000
and
69,000
cumulative shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units (net of any forfeitures), respectively, with aggregate grant date fair values of
$0.7
 million and
$0.2
million, respectively. We incurred expenses of
$0.2
 million and
$0.1
 million during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018,
respectively, related to restricted stock awards. When we grant restricted stock and restricted stock units, we defer the grant date value of the restricted stock and restricted stock unit and amortize that value (net of the value of anticipated forfeitures) as compensation expense with an offsetting entry to the paid-in capital component of our consolidated shareholders’ equity. Our restricted stock awards typically vest over a range of
12
to
60
months (or other term as specified in the grant) and are amortized to salaries and benefits expense ratably over applicable vesting periods. As of
March 
31,
2019,
our unamortized deferred compensation costs associated with non-vested restricted stock awards were
$1.3
million with a weighted-average remaining amortization period of
2.0
 years.
 
Stock Options
 
Our
2014
Plan provides that we
may
grant options on or shares of our common stock (and other types of equity awards) to members of our Board of Directors, employees, consultants and advisors. The exercise price per share of the options must be equal to or greater than the market price on the date the option is granted. The option period
may
not
exceed
10
years from the date of grant.   The vesting requirements for options are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. We had expense of
$0.2
 million and
$0.2
 million related to stock option-related compensation costs during the
three
months ended
March 
31,
2019
and
2018,
respectively. When applicable, we recognize stock option-related compensation expense for any awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. The table below includes additional information about outstanding options:
