NOTE 10 - COMPENSATION PLANS

 

In May 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 SIP”) under which employees, independent contractors, and non-employee directors may be granted stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock awards, and stock appreciation rights, any of which may or may not require the satisfaction of performance objectives. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company reserved 750,000 shares for issuance under the 2017 SIP.

 

In June 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 SIP”) under which employees, independent contractors, and non-employee directors may be granted stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock awards, and stock appreciation rights, any of which may or may not require the satisfaction of performance objectives. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company reserved 1,000,000 shares for issuance under the 2023 SIP, of which 731,000 shares remain available for future grants as of March 30, 2024. Any shares remaining from the 2017 SIP will be available for future grants under the terms of the 2023 SIP. As of March 30, 2024, approximately 120,000 shares remained unawarded from the 2017 SIP. Since the shareholder approval of the 2023 SIP, no additional awards have been or will be granted under the 2017 SIP. Previously granted and outstanding awards under the 2017 SIP will remain subject to the terms of the 2017 SIP.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company grants performance-based and retention-based restricted stock units to senior employees. The vesting of the performance-based awards is dependent on the achievement of corporate objectives established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and a three-year vesting period. The retention-based awards are subject only to a three-year vesting period. There were 137,516 restricted stock units issued during the three months ended March 30, 2024. Total compensation costs related to these restricted stock units are $5.9 million.

 

Compensation costs related to all outstanding restricted stock units recognized in the statements of income aggregated $1.1 million for the three month periods ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
