Our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan under which our Company has granted stock options and other share-based payment awards of our Common Stock to eligible employees, directors, and consultants has expired. In total, 1,663,099 shares of Common Stock were issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the previously granted options or restricted stock units under that plan.

Stock options were granted at exercise prices equal to the grant-date market prices and typically expire no later than five years from the grant date. In contrast to a stock option where the grantee buys our Company’s share at an exercise price determined on grant date, a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) entitles the grantee to receive one share for every RSU based on a vesting plan, typically between one and four years from grant. At the time the options are exercised or RSUs vest and are settled, at the discretion of management, we will issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the option or RSU holder.

We have estimated the grant-date fair value of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options. We expensed the estimated grant-date fair values of options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Based on our historical experience, the “deemed exercise” of expiring in-the-money options and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we have not estimated any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.

No stock options were issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Stock options covering 219,408 shares were issued in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, all in the first quarter of 2019. The weighted average assumptions used in the option-valuation model were as follows:

For the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded compensation expense of $103,000 and $129,000, respectively with respect to our prior stock option grants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we recorded compensation expense of $343,000 and $329,000, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $0.7 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.49 years. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding vested and expected to vest, at September 30, 2020 was nil, as the closing price of our Common Stock on that date was $3.22.

The following table summarizes the number of options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Restricted Stock Units

We estimate the grant-date fair values of our RSUs using our Company’s stock price at grant-date and record such fair values as compensation expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the status of the RSUs granted to date as of September 30, 2020:

RSU awards to Management vest 25% on the anniversary of the grant date over a period of four years. Beginning this year, a performance component has been added to certain of the RSUs granted to Management. On March 10, 2020, RSUs covering 287,163 shares were issued to members of executive Management and other employees of our Company.

Prior to November 7, 2018, RSU awards to non-employee directors vested 100% in January of the following year in which such RSUs were granted. At the November 7, 2018 Board meeting, it was determined that it would be more appropriate for the vesting of RSUs to align with the director’s term of office. Accordingly, the RSUs granted on November 7, 2018, vested on the first to occur of (i) 5:00 pm, Los Angeles, CA time on the last business day prior to the one year anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) the date on which the recipient’s term as a director ended and the recipient or, as the case may be, the recipient’s successor was elected to the board of directors. Accordingly, the RSUs granted to directors on November 7, 2018 vested on May 7, 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Due to the fact that our Company moved up our annual meeting of stockholders from November to May in 2019, the vesting period for the RSUs issued on November 7, 2018 was shorter than anticipated. In order to adjust for this factor, the award of RSUs to directors made immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was determined using a value of $35,000 or one half of the dollar amount of the prior year's annual grant. The RSUs issued to non-employee directors on May 7, 2019 vested on May 6, 2020. No RSUs have been issued to non-employee directors since May 7, 2019.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded compensation expense of $237,000 and $288,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded compensation expense of $708,000 and $768,000, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested RSUs was $2.3 million as of September 30, 2020, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.93 years.

Stock Repurchase Program

On March 2, 2017, our Company's Board of Directors authorized Management, at its discretion, to spend up to an aggregate of $25.0 million to acquire shares of Reading’s Class A Non-Voting Common Stock. On March 14, 2019, the Board of Directors extended this stock buy-back program for two years, through March 2, 2021. On March 10, 2020, the Board increased the authorized amount by $25.0 million and extended it to March 2, 2022. At the present time, the amount available under the repurchase program authorization is $26.0 million.

The repurchase program allows Reading to repurchase its shares in accordance with the requirements of the SEC on the open market, in block trades and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. All purchases are subject to the availability of shares at prices that are acceptable to Reading, and accordingly, no assurances can be given as to the timing or number of shares that may ultimately be acquired pursuant to this authorization.

Under the stock repurchase program, as of September 30, 2020, our Company had reacquired a total of 1,792,819 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock for $24.0 million at an average price of $13.39 per share (excluding transaction costs). 75,157 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock were purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 at an average price of $8.92 per share. No shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock were purchased during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. This leaves $26.0 million available under the March 2, 2017 program, as extended, to March 2, 2022. The last share repurchase made by our Company was made on March 5, 2020, at which time 25,000 shares were purchased at an average cost per share of $7.30.
