STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS | NOTE 15 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has adopted the HBT Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”).

Restricted Stock Units A restricted stock unit grants a participant the right to receive one share of common stock, following the completion of the requisite service period. Restricted stock units are classified as equity. Compensation cost is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. Non-forfeitable dividend equivalents are paid on non-vested restricted stock units and are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings. If restricted stock units are subsequently forfeited, the non-forfeitable dividends related to the forfeited restricted stock units are reclassified to compensation cost in the period the forfeiture occurs. On January 28, 2020, the Company granted 70,400 restricted stock units to certain key employees which vest in four equal annual installments beginning on February 1, 2021. On January 28, 2020, the Company also granted 2,750 restricted stock units to non-employee directors which vest on February 1, 2021. The total fair value of the restricted stock units granted on January 28, 2020 was $1,392,000, based on the grant date closing price of $19.03 per share. On June 24, 2020, the Company also granted 550 restricted stock units to a non-employee director which vest on February 1, 2021. The total fair value of the restricted stock units granted on June 24, 2020 was $7,000, based on the grant date closing price of $12.71 per share.

As of September 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units was $1,136,000. Stock Appreciation Rights A stock appreciation right grants a participant the right to receive an amount of cash, the value of which equals the appreciation in the Company’s stock price between the grant date and the exercise date. Stock appreciation rights units are classified as liabilities. Prior to becoming a public entity, the liability was based on the intrinsic value of the stock appreciation rights, calculated using the grant date assigned value and an independent appraisal of the Company’s stock price that was subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Since becoming a public entity on October 11, 2019, the liability was based on an option-pricing model used to estimate the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Compensation cost for unvested stock appreciation rights is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the entire award. The unvested stock appreciation rights vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The following is a summary of outstanding stock appreciation rights activity:
