Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provided for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity-based awards. In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, our stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2005 Plan, among other changes.
On June 23, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective on August 4, 2020, upon the approval of the 2020 Plan by our stockholders. On June 23, 2020, a total of 2,827,210 shares were available for issuance under the 2020 Plan (comprised of 2,000,000 new shares plus 827,210 shares that were unissued under the 2005 Plan). Since the 2020 Plan became effective, all equity awards have been made from the 2020 Plan, and the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2005 Plan.

On January 6, 2025, we announced that Christine Sacco, our Chief Financial Officer, has also been appointed Chief Operating Officer, effective that same day. In connection with Ms. Sacco's appointment as Chief Operating Officer, the Company granted Ms. Sacco 21,136 RSUs, which vest in their entirety on the four-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Ms. Sacco's continued employment. Upon vesting, the units will be settled in shares of our common stock.

At December 31, 2024, there were 1.6 million shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

At December 31, 2024, there were $3.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur.  We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. At December 31, 2024, there were $12.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs and performance stock units ("PSUs") under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur.  We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
