STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock

Under the equity incentive plans approved by our shareholders, directors, consultants and employees may be awarded shares of DXP's common stock. The shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees and that are outstanding as of September 30, 2018 vest (or have forfeiture restrictions that lapse) in accordance with one of the following vesting schedules: 100% one year after date of grant; 50% each year for two years after date of grant; 33.3% each year for three years after date of grant; 20% each year for five years after date of grant; or 10% each year for ten years after date of grant. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP's common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. Shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding upon the grant of awards of restricted stock. Once restricted stock units vest, new shares of the Company's stock are issued.  At September 30, 2018, 272,510 shares were available for future grant.

Changes in restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:
