Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We maintain a stock-based compensation program intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees and directors and align stockholder and employee interests. Currently, we grant options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") from the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (“2010 ECP”). Option and restricted stock unit vesting periods are generally up to three years.

Compensation Expense

We recorded stock-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans of approximately $707,544 and $991,948 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total compensation cost not yet recognized at December 31, 2015 was $2,763,214 to be recognized over a weighted-average recognition period of 1.6 years.

Significant Grants and Cancellations

2015
On April 20, 2015, we granted members of our board of directors a total of 51,948 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $2.31 a share which fully vest on March 31, 2016.

On July 27, 2015 and August 4, 2015, we granted certain employees service and performance RSUs totaling 965,500 shares with a weighted average fair value $3.03 per share. The service RSUs vest annually over a three year period, commencing in July 2016, at the rate of 25% of the grant in year one and year two and the remaining 50% of the grant vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date. The awarding of the performance RSUs in contingent upon achieving certain revenue and profit targets and vest annually, one-third upon each anniversary of the grant date.

2014
On April 1, 2014, we granted certain employees a total of 82,000 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $0.80 per share which vest annually over three years. On April 22, 2014, we also granted employees a performance RSU contingent upon achieving 2014 profit targets. On January 21, 2015, the number of RSUs vested under the April 22, 2014 performance grant was 697,853 shares with a weighted average fair value of $1.13 per share.

On April 29, 2014, we granted members of our board of directors a total of 102,560 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $0.78 a share which were fully vested at March 31, 2015. In September 2014, 20,073 RSUs were granted to a new director with a weighted average fair value of $1.53 per share which were fully vested at March 31, 2015.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined using market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.  The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model.  The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period.  The forfeiture rate, which is estimated at a weighted average of 0% of unvested options outstanding, is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate. 

At December 31, 2015, the 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans had outstanding options of 284,246 options and all were exercisable with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0, a weighted average exercise price of $2.78 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 4.8 years.

The total fair value of options vested during 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0 and $66,000, respectively.

We also have a separate plan which we acquired from Vertro. This plan is not authorized to issue any additional shares. During 2015, options in the amount of 43,481 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $17.42 expired. At December 31, 2015 we had 38,650 options outstanding and exercisable under this plan with a weighted average exercise price of $16.01. The weighted average fair value of these options is $0, and their aggregate intrinsic value is also $0. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding and exercisable options is less than 1.0 year. The exercise price of these options is $16.01.

No options were granted during 2015 or 2014.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with or longer than the expected life of the options. The expected life of the options is based on the vesting schedule of the option in relation to the overall term of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the market yield of the U.S. Treasury Bill with a term equal to the expected term of the option awarded. We do not anticipate paying any dividends so the dividend yield in the model is zero.
