Stock Compensation Plans | Note 9 – Stock Compensation Plans In June 2009, our stockholders approved and in June 2014 our stockholders reapproved the VASCO Data Security International, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Equity Plan”). The 2009 Equity Plan permits the issuance of awards in a variety of forms, including (1) shares of our common stock, (2) nonqualified and incentive stock options for the purchase of our common stock, (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) deferred stock, (5) other stock-based awards (including restricted shares, performance shares, performance units and other stock unit awards), and (6) cash incentive awards. Upon approval of the 2009 Equity Plan, our 1997 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “1997 Compensation Plan”) was suspended. No additional awards will be issued under the 1997 Compensation Plan, however, all outstanding awards under the 1997 Compensation Plan were unaffected by the approval of the 2009 Equity Plan. The 1997 Compensation Plan permitted the award of stock compensation in various forms. The 2009 Equity Plan and the 1997 Compensation Plan were designed and intended to provide performance incentives to employees and non-employee directors, consultants and other key persons of the company. Both plans are administered by the Compensation Committee as appointed by the Board of Directors and are intended to be non-qualified plans. As of December 31, 2016, the number of shares allowed to be issued under the 2009 Equity Plan was 6,161 shares of the company’s common stock, representing 15.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the company as of such date. The following table summarizes compensation expense recorded under the two plans.
