Share-based Compensation [Abstract] |
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION |
10. | Share-Based Compensation
The Company provides compensation benefits to certain key employees under several share-based plans providing for performance-accelerated restricted share unit (PARS) awards, and to non-employee directors under a non-employee directors compensation plan. The Company has no stock options currently outstanding. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 1,072,401 shares available for future issuance under equity compensation plans. Performance-Accelerated Restricted Share Unit Awards A PARS award represents the right to receive a specified number of shares of Company common stock if and when the award vests. A PARS award is not stock and does not give the recipient any rights as a shareholder until it vests and is paid out in shares of stock. PARS awards currently outstanding have a five-year vesting period, with accelerated vesting if certain targets based on market conditions are achieved. In these cases, if it is probable that the performance condition will be met, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the shorter performance period; otherwise, it will recognize compensation cost over the longer service period. Compensation cost for the majority of the outstanding PARS awards is being recognized over the shorter performance period as it is probable the performance condition will be met. The PARS award grants were valued at the stock price on the date of grant. Pretax compensation expense related to the PARS awards for continuing operations was $4.4 million, $3.9 million and $4.0 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following summary presents information regarding outstanding PARS awards as of the specified dates, and changes during the specified periods:
