Stock-Based Compensation

Note 2 – Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted stock expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $377 thousand and $484 thousand, respectively, including $44 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively, in dividends paid for those periods.  As of March 31, 2023, there was a total of $4.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants that will be recognized as expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.  There were 52,865 and 35,438 shares of restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  The restricted stock was issued pursuant to the terms of CTBI’s 2015 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan. The restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse ratably over four years. However, in the event of certain participant employee termination events occurring within 24 months of a change in control of CTBI or the death of the participant, the restrictions will lapse, and in the event of the participant’s disability, the restrictions will lapse on a pro rata basis.  The Compensation Committee will have discretion to review and revise restrictions applicable to a participant’s restricted stock in the event of the participant’s retirement. There were 790 shares of restricted stock forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2023.  No shares were forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

There was no compensation expense related to stock option grants for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. As of March 31, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards, as all stock option awards have fully vested.  There were no stock options granted in the first three months of 2023 or 2022.
