Stock Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock Based Compensation

NOTE 7: Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provided for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options to purchase, and restricted stock grants of, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Individuals eligible for participation in the Plan included designated officers and other employees (including employees who also serve as directors), non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants who perform services for the Company. The terms of each grant under the Plan were determined by the Board of Directors, or a committee of the board administering the Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Outstanding stock options become immediately exercisable upon a change of control of the Company as in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan typically become exercisable over a one to five year period. Generally, the options have various vesting periods, which include immediate and term vesting periods.

In 2002, the Company’s stockholders authorized an additional 2,000,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. In addition, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities Exchange Commission. Such registration statement also covered certain options granted prior to the merger in 2001, which were not granted under the Plan (“Outside Plan Stock Options”).

On December 8, 2005, the Company’s stockholders ratified the CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In addition, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities Exchange Commission. The Stock Incentive Plan replaced the Plan. No new grants will be granted under the Plan. Grants that were made under the Plan prior to the stockholders’ approval of the Stock Incentive Plan will continue to be administered under the Plan.

The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to grant awards to non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries and to determine the number and types of such awards and the terms, conditions, vesting and other limitations applicable to each such award. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the power to interpret the Stock Incentive Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations as it considers necessary or appropriate for purposes of administering the Stock Incentive Plan.

The following types of awards or any combination of awards may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) stock grants, and (iv) performance awards.

The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock with respect to which awards may be granted to any individual participant under the Stock Incentive Plan during each of the Company’s fiscal years will not exceed 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments described in the Stock Incentive Plan.

The aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that are reserved for awards, including shares of Class A common stock underlying stock options, to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 6,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and other specified events. As of June 30, 2011, there were 1,644,468 awards available for grant under the Stock Incentive Plan. If any outstanding award is cancelled, forfeited, or surrendered to the Company, shares of Class A common stock allocable to such award may again be available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to participants who are executive officers and other employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the day of the grant, and non-qualified stock options may be granted to any participant in the Stock Incentive Plan. No stock option granted under the Stock Incentive Plan will be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted.

At June 30, 2011, there were options to purchase 5,861,782 shares of Class A common stock outstanding consisting of 5,611,782 Plan and Stock Incentive Plan options and 250,000 outside plan stock options. There were exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 4,611,782 shares of Class A common stock under the Plan and Stock Incentive Plan and options to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A common stock that were outside plan stock options as of June 30, 2011.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed-form option valuation model (Black-Scholes-Merton formula). Closed-form valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from general practices used by other companies in the software industry and estimates by the Company of the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

On February 16, 2007, the Company and Fairford Holdings Scandinavia AB (“Fairford Scandinavia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairford, entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated February 16, 2007. Pursuant to the Agreement, on February 16, 2007, the Company issued to Fairford Scandinavia a Class A common stock Purchase Warrant (the “Original Warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in consideration for securing the issuance of a $2.6 million letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) from SEB bank to National City Bank. Due to National City Bank’s receipt of the Letter of Credit, the Company was able to obtain the Acquisition Loan at a favorable cash-backed interest rate. Effective April 14, 2008, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with Fairford Scandinavia and issued an additional warrant to Fairford Scandinavia to purchase shares of Class A common stock based on the interest rate savings (the “Additional Warrant”).

Pursuant to the Original Warrant, Fairford Scandinavia is entitled to purchase 419,495 shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustments as described in the Original Warrant, at any time prior to the 10th anniversary of the date of issuance. Pursuant to the Additional Warrant, Fairford Scandinavia is entitled to purchase 620,675 shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price of $0.22 per share, subject to adjustments as described in the Additional Warrant, at any time prior to the 10th anniversary of the date of issuance. On December 31, 2009, Fairford Scandinavia sold all of its owned Class A shares, or 355,099 shares to Fairford for SEK 2.80362 ($0.39) per share. As of June 30, 2011, Fairford beneficially owned 63.7% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and Fairford Scandinavia owned warrants to purchase 1,040,170 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Mr. Osseiran, the majority holder of the Company’s Class A common stock and a director of the Company, is a director of Fairford, the President of Fairford Scandinavia and a grantor and sole beneficiary of a revocable trust which is the sole stockholder of Fairford. Mr. Dahl, a director of the Company, is a director of Fairford and the Chairman of Fairford Scandinavia. The Original Warrant and Additional Warrant vested immediately upon grant and expire ten years after the date of the grant.
