Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has adopted the HBT Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for grants of (i) stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted shares, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards, (vi) other share-based awards and (vii) other cash-based awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 1,820,000 shares. The following is a summary of stock-based compensation expense (benefit):
|  |  | Year Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Restricted stock units |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,204 |  |  | $ | 1,334 |  |  | $ | 579 |
Performance restricted stock units |  |  |  |  | 749 |  |  | 615 |  |  | 185 |
Total awards classified as equity |  |  |  |  | 1,953 |  |  | 1,949 |  |  | 764 |
Stock appreciation rights |  |  |  |  | 95 |  |  | 88 |  |  | 226 |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  |  |  |  | $ | 2,048 |  |  | $ | 2,037 |  |  | $ | 990 |
In February 2022, all outstanding restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit agreements were modified to address treatment upon retirement. In the event of retirement, and if the retirement eligibility requirements are met, then 100% of unvested restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units will continue to vest in accordance with the originally established vesting schedule. The retirement modification resulted in the acceleration of $0.6 million of expense, although total compensation costs related to the modified agreements remained the same. Restricted Stock Units A restricted stock unit grants a participant the right to receive one share of the Company’s 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 service period for the entire award. Dividend equivalents on restricted stock units, which are either accrued until vested or paid at the same time as dividends on common stock, are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the total grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted was $1.0 million, $1.3 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, based on the grant date closing prices. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 were $1.1 million, $0.7 million, and $0.3 million, respectively. The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity:
| Year Ended December 31,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
| Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  | Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  | Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Beginning balance | 139,986 |  | $ | 18.01 |  |  | 109,244 |  | $ | 17.27 |  |  | 71,000 |  | $ | 18.98 |
Granted | 41,847 |  | 22.72 |  | 66,995 |  | 18.81 |  | 59,994 |  | 15.81
Vested | (51,693) |  | 17.91 |  | (34,925) |  | 17.26 |  | (20,225) |  | 18.86
Forfeited | (1,981) |  | 19.55 |  | (1,328) |  | 18.35 |  | (1,525) |  | 18.11
Ending balance | 128,159 |  | $ | 19.56 |  |  | 139,986 |  | $ | 18.01 |  |  | 109,244 |  | $ | 17.27 |
As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock units was $0.9 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of 1.7 years. Performance Restricted Stock Units A performance restricted stock unit is similar to a restricted stock unit, except that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock awarded is based on a performance condition and the completion of the requisite service period. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the number of performance restricted stock units granted. Performance restricted stock units are classified as equity. Compensation cost is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date and an assessment of the probable outcome of the performance condition. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the entire award. Changes in the performance condition probability assessment result in cumulative catch-up adjustments to the compensation cost recognized. Dividend equivalents on performance restricted stock units, which are accrued until vested, are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the total fair value of the performance restricted stock units granted was $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, based on the grant date closing prices and an assessment of the probable outcome of the performance condition on the grant date. The following is a summary of performance restricted stock unit activity:

As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance restricted stock units was $0.3 million, based on the current assessment of the probable outcome of the performance conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of 1.5 years. 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 are classified as liabilities. The liability is based on an option-pricing model used to estimate the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Compensation cost for non-vested stock appreciation rights is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of the entire award. The following is a summary of stock appreciation rights activity:
| Year Ended December 31,

Risk-free interest rate | 3.85 | % |  | 3.95 | %
