Share-Based Compensation
5. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock plans under which employees and directors may be granted non-vested stock which vests over a specific time period. The 2007 Stock Plan, which expired April 26, 2017, allowed for the granting of non-vested stock in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, and stock appreciate rights. In April 2017, the Company’s 2017 Stock Plan was approved, which authorized 1.8 million shares to be granted as non-vested stock in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, and stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2017, there were 1.8 million shares available to be granted as non-vested stock under the Company’s existing stock plans.

Prior to December 2014, expense for shares of non-vested stock is recognized over the vesting period or during the period from the date of grant until the participant reaches age 65, whichever is shorter. The vesting period is five years for awards granted prior to December 2013 and three years beginning with awards granted in December 2013. During the period of restriction, the holder of non-vested stock has voting rights and is entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the stock.
 
The grants issued after December 2013, to elected officers, consisted of 100% performance stock unit awards which are based on a three-year performance and vesting period and a pro-rata vesting upon retirement. Three-year performance that exceeds the stated performance metrics would result in an award up to 150% of the original grant. The holders of the performance stock units are not entitled to vote or receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the stock, until the units have vested and the shares of stock are issued.

The Company expenses awards for non-vested stock, including time-vesting stock and performance stock units, based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes the non-vested stock and performance stock unit activity:
