Note 8. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company has various stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, performance units or shares and other incentive awards to certain employees and directors.  Options have been granted at or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, typically vest over a three-year period, and are exercisable not less than twelve months or more than ten years after the date of grant.  Each SAR entitles the holder to receive cash, upon vesting, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of such share on the date granted.  SARs have been granted at or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, typically vest over periods up to three years, and expire ten years from the date of issue.  No more than 50% of the cumulative number of vested SARs held by an employee can be exercised in any one calendar year.

There are no authorized shares available for grant as of December 31, 2013 due to the expiration of previously approved plans.  A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of December 31, 2013, and changes during the year then ended is presented in the table below:
