On May 14, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the LINKBANCORP, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 450,000 shares of LINKBANCORP common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options. The Plan is administered by the members of LINKBANCORP’s Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). Unless the Committee specifies a different vesting schedule, awards under the Plan shall be granted with a vesting rate of 20 percent per year. Vesting may be accelerated under certain conditions or at the discretion of the Committee at any time. Employees and directors of LINKBANCORP or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the plan, except that nonemployees may not be granted incentive stock options. Stock options are either “incentive” stock options or “nonqualified” stock options. Incentive stock options have certain tax advantages and must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The table below provides details of the Company's stock options at June 30, 2022.

The exercise prices for options outstanding as of June 30, 2022 ranged from $10.00 to $14.50. Because the stock options issued by the Company historically relate to LINKBANK employees and given the reverse acquisition accounting described in Note 1 paired with the timing of the Merger between the Company and GNBF, the Company recognized no compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recognized compensation expense of $39 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs totaled $169 and will be recognized ratably as expense through December 31, 2026.
