STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The 2006 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based and cash-based awards. Our employees and outside directors are eligible to receive grants under the 2006 Plan. The total number of shares of stock subject to grants under the 2006 Plan may not exceed 3,439,000. As of April 30, 2026, there were 1,074,344 shares of Common Stock or Class B Stock available for future grants under this plan.

Restricted Stock

All of our non-vested restricted stock as of April 30, 2026 was issued under the 2006 Plan with vesting periods generally between one and five years. We determined the fair value of restricted shares as of the grant date. We recognize the related compensation expense over the period from the date of grant to the date the shares vest.

There were 73,400 and 135,850 restricted shares of Common Stock granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. There were no restricted shares of Class B Stock granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2026, and 2025. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026, and 2025, and was $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
