Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation At the 2016 annual meeting, stockholders approved the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan (“2016 Equity Plan”), replacing the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, which expired on that date. The Company may issue shares of common stock or grant other equity-based awards pursuant to the 2016 Equity Plan. Stock-based awards granted to date generally are time-based, vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date and range over a one- to three-year period of time, and, in the case of stock options, expire ten years from the grant date. As part of the 2016 Equity Plan, a performance equity incentive award program, known as the “Long-term incentive plan” allows participating officers of the Company to earn incentive awards of performance share/restricted stock units if certain pre-determined targets are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. Stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards and reflects forfeitures as they occur. The 2016 Equity Plan originally reserved 750,000 shares of common stock for grant, and 190,166 shares remained available for grant at December 31, 2024. The Company assumed 3,977 shares of restricted stock and 90,783 of restricted stock units at a fair value of $11.56 per share as a result of the merger with TCFC. The vesting period for the outstanding restricted stock grants is between three and five years. The vesting period for restricted stock units and performance stock units is between one to three years. The recipients of restricted stock units do not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend, or liquidation rights, with respect to the shares underlying awarded restricted stock units, until the recipient becomes the record holder of those shares. The following table presents stock-based compensation expense related to the 2016 Equity Plan, included in the consolidated statements of income, for each of the periods indicated.
