NOTE 11EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

In November 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan ("2019 Omnibus Plan") which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 2,350,000 and removed the Plan's fungible share counting feature. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means to attract and retain key personnel and to align the interests of the directors, officers, and employees with the Company's shareholders. The plan also provides a vehicle whereby directors and officers may acquire shares in order to meet the ownership requirements under the Company's Stock Ownership Policy. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units RSUs, performance stock units ("PSUs") and other awards. Except for Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") grants which are time-based, participants in the Company's Long-Term Equity Compensation Plans are awarded the opportunity to acquire shares over a three-year performance measurement period tied to specific company performance metrics. The number of shares that remain reserved for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is 1,403,708 as of December 31, 2024.

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company granted 160,826 PSUs and 107,217 RSUs, both with a weighted average market value of $14.92. Stock compensation expense was $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $2.2 million and $2.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

In November of 2021, our board of directors approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees may participate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees may end their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the company. During fiscal year 2025, employees purchased 8,000 shares. At December 31, 2024, 234,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.
