Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "Plan") in place as approved by shareholders, which allows us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors.
On October 11, 2016 and October 13, 2015 the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 97,600 and 204,200 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to our key employees and non-employee directors under the Plan. The value of the restricted stock award is determined using the intrinsic value method which, in this case, is based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense was $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the first quarters of Fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award.
Dividends
On October 12, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, which was paid on November 23, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2016.

On December 14, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, payable on January 25, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 11, 2017.
