The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020.

Restricted stock awards are granted pursuant to the Company's 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates for a reason other than death, disability, or retirement prior to the release of the restrictions.

The Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan was established in 2014 (the "2014 Plan"). Pursuant to the 2014 Plan, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") may be awarded by the Company to any individual who is employed by, provides services to, or serves as a director of the Company or its affiliates. RSUs vest on the later of three years from the date of grant, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. The RSU awards will also vest upon the sale of all of the Company's issued and outstanding stock, the sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets of a subsidiary of which the grantee serves as CEO and/or President, or the termination of the grantee's employment without cause, provided that the grantee at the time of termination has been employed for at least 10 years. When vested, RSU awards may be settled in shares of common stock or in cash, at the Company's sole option. There are no market conditions inherent in an RSU award, only the employee performance requirement for performance awards, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. In July 2020, the Company granted 48,269 RSU awards under the 2014 Plan. The Company expenses the cost of RSU awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each grantee. For these purposes, the fair market value of each RSU is determined based on the mean of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The fair market value of each RSU granted in July 2020 was $5.76.

On July 8, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a five-year Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), effective March 1, 2019, by and between the Company and Patrick M. Lavelle, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, in addition to a $1,000 annual salary and a cash bonus based on the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Mr. Lavelle agreed to receive certain stock-based compensation as discussed below:

Grant of market stock units (“MSU’s”) up to a maximum value of $5,000, based upon the achievement of a 90-calendar day average stock price of no less than $5.49 over the performance period ending on the third and fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Employment Agreement. The value of the MSU award increases based upon predetermined targeted 90-calendar day average stock prices with a maximum of $5,000 if the 90-calendar day average high stock price equals or exceeds $15.00. The number of shares to be issued related to the MSUs based upon achievement of the maximum award value of $5,000, and if issued at $15.00 per share, is estimated at 333,333 shares. Actual results may differ based upon when the high average stock price is achieved and settled. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $61 and $122 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, related to these MSU’s using the graded vesting attribution method over the performance period. As of August 31, 2020, all of the MSU’s remain outstanding.

All stock grants under the Employment Agreement are subject to a hold requirement as specified in the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement gave Mr. Lavelle, in certain limited change of control situations, the right to require the Company to purchase the shares in connection with the Employment Agreement, shares personally acquired by Mr. Lavelle, and shares issued to him under other incentive compensation arrangements. Accordingly, the stock awards issued in connection with the Employment Agreement are presented as redeemable equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at grant-date fair value. RSUs previously held by Mr. Lavelle under the 2014 Plan and shares personally purchased by Mr. Lavelle have been reclassified from permanent equity to redeemable equity. As the contingent events that would allow Mr. Lavelle to redeem the shares are not probable at this time, remeasurement of the amounts in redeemable equity have not been recorded. The Employment Agreement contains certain restrictive and non-solicitation covenants.

The following table presents a summary of the activity related to the initial stock grant, additional stock grants under the Employment Agreement, and RSU grants under the 2014 Plan for the six months ended August 31, 2020:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested award balance at February 29, 2020		715,152	$	5.07
Granted		48,269		5.76
Vested		59,697		6.09

Forfeited		26,835		4.15
Unvested award balance at August 31 2020		576,889	$	4.80

At August 31, 2020, there were 238,318 vested and unsettled RSU awards under the Company’s 2014 Plan with a weighted average fair value of $7.51. In July 2020, the vested RSU awards for two of the Company’s former employees, totaling 105,123 award units, were settled in cash in an amount totaling $303.

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2020, the Company recorded $335 and $686, respectively, in total stock-based compensation related to the 2014 Plan, additional stock grants and MSU’s under the Employment Agreement. As of August 31, 2020, there was approximately $2,060 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards, stock grants and MSU’s.
