Reserved Shares

There were 2,138,910 common shares reserved for grants under compensation plans at December 31, 2019. The Company eliminated the option for plan participants in the Company’s defined contribution plans to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock in March 2014. Effective May 2019, common stock held in the Company's defined contribution plans can no longer receive quarterly dividends in the form of the Company's common stock. As a result of this change, common shares previously reserved for the Company's defined contribution plans have been released.
