7 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Our 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares pursuant to options or awards granted under the Plan. Under the Plan, incentive stock and nonstatutory options were granted at prices equal to at least the fair market value of our Class A common stock at the date of grant. Outstanding options vest in three (3) equal annual installments beginning one (1) year from the date of grant and are subject to termination provisions as defined in the Plan. There was no options granted in 2023, and the fair values of options in 2022 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at their respective grant date using the following assumptions:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share	$0.11 - $0.38
Risk-free interest rate		2.8	%
Dividend yield		5.3	%
Expected term (in years)		10
Volatility		16	%

Stock option activity during the periods indicated is as follows:
