The Company issued 338,500 shares of restricted stock awards during the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, and 25,806 shares of immediately vested common stock during the six months ended  September 30, 2022. The Company issued 47,604 shares of immediately vested common stock, all of which were issued in lieu of cash bonuses, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 166,648 shares of immediately vested common stock, of which 158,356 shares were issued in-lieu of cash bonuses, and 309,700 shares of restricted stock awards during the six months ended  September 30, 2021. These restricted stock awards generally vest over 2-3 years.  Awards for restricted stock include both time-based and performance-based awards.  For options and restricted stock awards that vest upon the passage of time, expense is being recorded over the vesting period.  Performance-based awards are expensed over the requisite service period based on probability of achievement.

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards, less expected annual forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ service period. The total unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options was less than $0.1 million during the six months ended September 30, 2022. This expense will be recognized over a weighted average of approximately 1.7 years. The total unrecognized compensation cost for unvested outstanding restricted stock was $5.2 million at September 30, 2022. This expense will be recognized over a weighted-average expense period of approximately 1.6 years.
