NOTE 14.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the closing of the IPO, on November 26, 2019, the Company granted restricted shares of common stock to each of the non-employee directors under the Individual Plan. Each of the non-employee directors received an award of 2,000 restricted shares of common stock on November 26, 2019. The restricted shares vested in substantially equal installments on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date. As of December 31, 2022, all increments of this award had vested. In addition, the restricted shares are subject to a holding period beginning on the grant date and ending on the date that the grantee ceases to serve as a member of the Board (the “Holding Period”). During the Holding Period, the restricted shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by the grantee. Except for the grant of these 8,000 restricted shares of common stock, the Company has not made any grants under the Equity Incentive Plans. Any future grants under the Equity Incentive Plans will be approved by the compensation committee of the Board. The 2019 non-employee director share awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $0.15 million. The Company’s determination of the grant date fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost was recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated

statements of operations. The Company recognized stock compensation expense totaling $0.05 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

A summary of activity for these awards during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is presented below:

As of December 31, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the three-year vest restricted shares.

 

Each member of the Board has the option to receive his or her annual retainer in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director by the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.3 million, or 14,485 shares, of which 3,514 shares were issued on April 1, 2022, 3,689 shares were issued on July 1, 2022, 3,774 shares were issued on October 1, 2022, and 3,508 shares were issued on January 1, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.3 million, or 14,049 shares, of which 3,453 shares were issued on April 1, 2021, 3,525 shares were issued on July 1, 2021, 3,594 shares were issued on October 1, 2021, and 3,477 shares were issued on January 3, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.2 million, or 14,572 shares, of which 4,098 shares were issued on April 1, 2020, 3,414 shares were issued on July 1, 2020, 3,474 shares were issued on October 1, 2020, and 3,586 shares were issued on January 1, 2021.
