At August 31, 2025, the Company had one stock option plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Ennis, Inc., adopted by the Board April 16, 2021 and affirmed by vote of the shareholders July 15, 2021 (the “Plan”). The Plan authorized 1,033,648 shares of common stock for awards and expires June 30, 2031 and all unissued stock will expire on that date. As of August 31, 2025, the Company has 259,560 shares of unissued common stock reserved under the Plan for issuance. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Plan equals a referenced price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is ten years. Stock options and restricted stock may be granted at different times during the year and vest ratably over various periods, from grant date up to five years. The Company uses treasury stock to satisfy option exercises and restricted stock awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock grants based on the grant date fair value of the award for stock options, restricted stock grants and RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The estimated number of shares to be achieved for performance based RSUs is updated each reporting period. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company included in selling, general and administrative expenses, compensation expense related to stock-based compensation of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company included in selling, general and administrative expenses, compensation expense related to stock-based compensation of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
