Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Summary of Stock Options Activity

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 2019 Plan was frozen such that no new awards would be granted under the 2019 Plan following receipt of shareholder approval of the LINKBANCORP, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan described within this footnote.

On May 26, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the LINKBANCORP, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"). The 2022 Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 475,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and non-qualified stock options. The 2022 Plan is administered by the members of LINKBANCORP’s Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). At least 95% of the awards under the 2022 Plan will vest no earlier than one year after the grant date.
