Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] | 14. stock-based compensation and purchase plans Stock-Based Compensation Plans Under incentive compensation plans, the Company is authorized to make grants of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units to provide equity incentive compensation to key employees and directors. The stock award program offers employees and directors the opportunity to earn shares of our stock over time, rather than options that give the employees and directors the right to purchase stock at a set price. The Company has stock plans for directors, officers and certain key employees. Total compensation cost recognized in income for equity based compensation awards was $4.4 million, $4.9 million, and $5.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, primarily within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for equity-based compensation plans was $1.1 million, $1.2 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were 578,433 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under various compensation plans at June 30, 2019. Restricted Stock Awards The Company may award shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and non-employee directors of the Company at no cost, giving them, in most instances, all of the rights of stockholders, except that they may not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber such shares and rights during the restriction period. Such shares and rights are subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such shares, providing that such shares are not forfeited. Dividends are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. During 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company granted 70,085, 51,792, and 51,563 shares respectively of restricted stock to eligible participants. Restrictions on the stock awards generally lapse between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2022. For the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, $ 3.7 million, $3.7 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, was recognized as compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. Substantially all awards are expected to vest. A summary of restricted stock awards activity during the year ended June 30, 2019 is as follows:
|  | Restricted Stock Awards |
|  | Number |  |  | Aggregate |
|  | of |  |  | Intrinsic |
|  | Shares |  |  | Value |
Outstanding, June 30, 2018 |  |  | 120,010 |  |  | $ | 12,258,515 |
Granted |  |  | 70,085 |  |  |  |  |
Exercised / vested |  |  | (43,959 | ) |  | $ | (885,810 | )
Canceled |  |  | (18,094 | ) |  |  |  |
Outstanding, June 30, 2019 |  |  | 128,042 |  |  | $ | 9,365,632 |
Restricted stock awards granted during 2019, 2018 and 2017 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $102.74, $93.73, and $85.07, respectively. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The total intrinsic value of awards exercised during the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017 was $0.9 million, $0.8 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there was $5.8 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.52 years. Executive Compensation Program The Company operates a compensation program for key employees. The plan contains both an annual component as well as a long-term component. Under the annual component, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their annual incentive compensation in restricted stock which is purchased at a discount to the market. Additionally, non-employee directors of the Company may defer a portion of their director’s fees in restricted stock units which is purchased at a discount to the market. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such units, providing that such shares are not forfeited. Dividend equivalents are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. The restrictions on the units expire after three years. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, 34,950 and 31,760 shares of restricted stock units are outstanding and subject to restrictions that lapse between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2022. The compensation expense associated with this incentive program is charged to income over the restriction period. The Company recorded compensation expense related to this program of $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. The fair value of the awards under the annual component of this incentive program is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model are as follows:
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Risk-free interest rates |  |  | 2.63 | % |  |  | 1.55 | % |  |  | 0.71 | %
Expected life of option grants (in years) |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |
Expected volatility of underlying stock |  |  | 25.1 | % |  |  | 25.6 | % |  |  | 25.7 | %
Expected quarterly dividends (per share) |  | $ | 0.18 |  |  | $ | 0.16 |  |  | $ | 0.14 |
Under the long-term component, grants of performance share units (“PSUs”) are made annually to key employees and the share units are earned based on the achievement of certain overall corporate financial performance targets over the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock issued will be determined by adjusting upward or downward from the target in a range between 50% and 200%. No shares will be issued if the minimum performance threshold is not achieved. The final performance percentage, on which the payout will be based considering the performance metrics established for the performance period, will be certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. A participant’s right to any shares that are earned will cliff vest in three years. An executive whose employment terminates prior to the vesting of any award for a reason other than death, disability, retirement, or following a change in control, will forfeit the shares represented by that award. In certain circumstances, such as death, disability, or retirement, PSUs are paid on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a change in control, vesting of the awards granted is accelerated. A summary of the awards activity under the executive compensation program during the year ended June 30, 2019 is as follows:
|  | Annual Component |  |  | Performance Stock Units |
|  |  |  |  |  | Weighted |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

The total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested performance share units was $1.4 million at June 30, 2019, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.02 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that allows employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at a discount from the market each quarter. The ESPP plan, which was effective as of July 1, 2005, provided employees the option to purchase Standex stock at a discount of 5%. The Plan was modified, effective as of April 1, 2017, to increase the stock purchase discount to 15% and is considered a compensatory Plan. Under this new Plan, shares of our stock may be purchased by employees quarterly at 85% of the fair market value on the last day of each quarter. The 15% discount is recorded as a component of SG&A in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shares of stock reserved for the plan were 73,617 at June 30, 2019. Shares purchased under this plan aggregated to 7,698, 5,622, and 3,742 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, at an average price of $65.63, $86.01, and $84.17, respectively.
