Note 12 - Stock-based Compensation | In December 2015, Lifeway shareholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 3.5 million shares to satisfy awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. The Company has not established a pace for the frequency of awards under the Omnibus plan, and may choose to suspend the issuance of new awards in the future and may grant additional awards at any time including issuing special grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options to attract and retain new and existing executives. Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, Lifeway granted 26 stock options to certain key employees of the company effective January 1, 2016 (the "2016 options"). The 2016 options generally vest over a three-year period, on a relatively accelerated basis. The accelerated vesting reflects the landmark nature of the awards and the relative tenure of individual participants. Total stock based compensation arising from this award, which will be recognized in periods subsequent to 2015 is approximately $60. There was no stock based compensation expense in each of the three years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. There were no options, restricted stock or other equity instruments awarded or outstanding at any time during each of the three years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
