11. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


Stock Option Plans – The Company maintains the REX American Resources Corporation 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the REX American Resources Corporation 1999 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plans”). Under the Omnibus Plans, the Company may grant to officers and key employees awards in the form of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. The Omnibus Plans also provide for yearly grants of non-qualified stock options to directors who are not employees of the Company. The exercise price of each option must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A maximum of 4,500,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under each of the Omnibus Plans. On January 31, 2015, 108,011 and 2,302,425 shares remain available for issuance under the 1995 and 1999 Plans, respectively. No awards under the Omnibus Plans have been awarded since fiscal year 2004 and there are no outstanding awards at January 31, 2015. The following summarizes stock option activity for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands, except per-share amounts):
