Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Compensation Plans As of March 31, 2015, the Company had four equity incentive plans which include two stock option plans, a restricted stock plan and an employee stock purchase plan All plans and any prior material amendments thereto have previously been approved by shareholders (with an amendment to the restricted stock plan and an amendment to the employee stock purchase plan also up for vote by shareholders at the Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders). Readers should refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, for additional information related to these stock-based compensation plans. The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based payments of $4,846,051 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. Compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory as of March 31, 2015, was $239,947. Employee Stock Option Plan In May 2014, the Employee Stock Option Plan was approved by shareholders, amending and restating a prior plan. The Company may grant up to 24,000,000 shares of common stock under the plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide an opportunity to use stock options as a means of recruiting new managerial and technical personnel and as a means for retaining certain employees of the Company and allow them to purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation and thereby have an additional incentive to contribute to the prosperity of the Company. The fair value of each option grant in the employee stock option plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:
| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2015 |  | 2014
Dividend Yield (1) | 2.14 | % |  | 2.33 | %
Expected volatility (2) | 36.80 | % |  | 40.36 | %
Risk-free interest rate (3) | 1.37 | % |  | 1.74 | %
Expected term of options (years) (4) | 4.29 |  |  | 3.95 |
Weighted-avg. grant date fair value | $4.76 |  | $4.27
(1)Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant.
(2) | Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant.
(3) | Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant.
(4) | Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.
Under the plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after five to seven years. As of March 31, 2015, there was $25,868,764 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods. Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan As of March 31, 2015, there was $0 of unrecognized compensation cost under the plan related to share-based payments. The Company has granted options on 266,000 shares under the director plan through March 31, 2015. Under the plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on the date of grant. The options vest after six months, and expire after ten years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has an employee stock purchase plan covering 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the plan, the Company sells shares at 85% of the stock’s market price at date of purchase. Under ASC 718, the 15% discounted value is recognized as compensation expense. Restricted Stock Plan The Company has a restricted stock plan covering 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the plan is to permit grants of shares, subject to restrictions, to key employees of the Company as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The restriction period is determined by the Compensation Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceed ten years under the terms of the plan. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $11,753,501 associated with these restricted stock grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Amortization expense from restricted stock grants in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $967,900.
