Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock over the ten-year term of the plan. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 218,050 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

During the three years ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted an aggregate of 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares of restricted stock to employees and nonemployee directors, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards granted during each of the three years ended December 31, 2016 was $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Employee restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of two years: one-third immediately on the grant date and the remaining two-thirds in equal amounts on the first two anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Nonemployee director restricted stock awards vest either immediately upon grant or over a period of one year, subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to receive dividends from their grant date.

During each of the three years ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted shares was $0.4 million, substantially all of which the Company expects to recognize over the next 15 months.
