Equity Compensation Plans
In prior periods the Company managed its equity compensation under the 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders effective June 11, 2021, at which time the 2009 Plan was terminated. Shares reserved for future issuance under the 2009 Plan are no longer available and no further grants will be made under this plan.
At the inception of the Company’s 2021 Plan, 1,835,000 shares were initially reserved for issuance. At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 13, 2024, shareholders voted to approve the recommendations of the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the 2021 Plan to add 1,450,000 shares to the shares reserved for grant.
At December 31, 2024, 1,244,907 shares remained reserved for issuance for new awards under the incentive plan.
Awards under the Incentive Plan may include incentive stock options, non-qualified stock option awards (“Stock Option”), stock appreciation rights, non-vested shares of common stock, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other share-based awards and cash-based incentive awards. Awards under the Incentive Plan may be granted to employees, directors, consultants or other persons providing services to the Company or its affiliates.
The following table provides certain information related to Stock Options, RSAs, PSUs and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock Options
Stock Options granted by the Company generally expire between five to ten years from the grant date and generally vest over a one- to three-year service period commencing on the grant date.
The Company used the modified Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of employee Stock Options on the date of grant utilizing the assumptions noted below. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bill yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our Common Stock. The dividend yield was based on expected dividends at the time of grant.
The following table provides the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes model for Stock Options granted during the periods presented:

Restricted Stock, Performance Share Units and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock, Performance Share Units and Restricted Stock Units are awarded to certain employees in consideration for services rendered pursuant to terms of employment agreements or to provide employees a continued incentive to share in the success of the Company. Restricted Stock generally vests over a one- to three-year service period commencing on the grant date. Each performance share unit has a value equal to one share of common stock and generally vests over a three-year performance period commencing on the grant date. Each restricted stock unit has a value equal to one share of common stock and generally vests over a one- to three-year service period commencing on the grant date.
