STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY |
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY ​ Stock Based Compensation ​ The Company’s 2022 and 2019 Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Plans”) permit the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance pursuant to each plan at such plan’s inception. ​ The following details the shares subject to awards that are outstanding under the Plans as of December 31, 2024:

(b) | No additional awards may be granted under such plan.
​ Restricted Stock ​ For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The restricted stock grants are charged to General and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Unless earlier forfeited because the participant’s relationship with the Company terminated, unvested restricted stock awards vest five years from the grant date, and under certain circumstances may vest earlier. ​ RSUs ​ The following table reflects the activities involving RSUs: ​

(a) | The shares underlying the RSUs are excluded from the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they have vested and been issued.
(b) | Such shares were issued in August 2024.
(c) | Such shares were issued in August 2023.
(d) | Such shares were forfeited due to the retirement of an executive officer before the completion of the applicable three-year performance cycle.
(e) | Of the 40,889 shares (i) 39,811 shares were not earned because the applicable market condition had not been satisfied and (ii) 1,078 shares were forfeited due to the retirement of an executive officer before the completion of the applicable three-year performance cycle.
(f) | Generally, the recipient must maintain a relationship with the Company during the applicable three-year performance cycle.
(g) | RSUs vest upon satisfaction of metrics related to average annual total stockholder return (“TSR Metric”) and average annual return on capital (“ROC Metric”; together with the TSR Metric, the “Metrics”) and are issued to the extent the Compensation Committee determines that the Metrics with respect to the vesting of such shares have been satisfied.
NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED) The Metrics and other material terms and conditions of the RSUs are as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Performance Criteria (a)
Year RSU Granted | ​ | Metric | ​ | Weight | ​ | Minimum | ​ | Maximum
2021 - 2024 (b)(c)(d) | ​ | ROC Metric (e) | ​ | 50% | ​ | Average annual of at least 6.0% | ​ | Average annual of at least 8.75%
​ | ​ | TSR Metric (f) | ​ | 50% | ​ | Average annual of at least 6.0% | ​ | Average annual of at least 11.0%
(a) | If the Metrics fall between the applicable minimum and maximum performance criteria, a pro-rata portion of such units, as applicable, vest.
(b) | The RSUs are not entitled to voting rights.
(c) | Upon vesting, the holders of such RSUs receive an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the underlying shares had such shares been outstanding during the three-year performance cycle. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued an aggregate of $408,000 and $450,000 of dividend equivalents, respectively, for the unvested RSUs based on the number of shares, underlying such RSUs, that would have been issued using performance and market assumptions determined at such dates.
(d) | In August 2024, the Company paid the holders of the 2021 RSU grants an aggregate of $215,000 with respect to the dividend equivalent rights on the vested 39,811 shares.
(e) | The ROC Metrics meet the definition of a performance condition. Fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. For ROC Awards, the Company does not recognize expense when performance conditions are not expected to be met; such performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly.
(f) | The TSR Metrics meet the definition of a market condition. A third-party appraiser prepares a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of such awards, which is recognized ratably over the three-year service period. For these TSR awards, the per unit or share fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
TSR Award Year |  | Expected Life (yrs) |  | Dividend Rate |  | Risk-Free Interest Rate |  | Expected Price Volatility (1) |
2024 |  | 3 |  | 7.03% | ​ | 4.26% - 5.17% | ​ | 22.79% - 24.80% | ​
2023 |  | 3 |  | 8.72% | ​ | 4.42% - 5.28% | ​ | 28.69% - 30.05% | ​
2022 |  | 3 |  | 7.10% | ​ | 1.58% - 3.33% | ​ | 29.37% - 39.87% | ​
| (1) | Calculated based on the historical and implied volatility.
​ As of December 31, 2024, based on performance and market assumptions, the fair value of the RSUs granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022 is $1,210,000, $927,000 and $1,419,000, respectively. Recognition of such deferred compensation will be charged to General and administrative expense over the respective three-year performance cycle.
