Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION On May 5, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Board and shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Glatfelter Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for grant under the Equity Plan (as amended and restated, the “Amended Plan”) (collectively, the “LTIP”). The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan, pursuant to which awards may be granted to full-time or part-time employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including stock options, stock-only stock appreciation rights (“SOSARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”), and other share-based awards. The Amended Plan was adopted primarily to increase the number of shares of Company common stock reserved for equity-based awards by 675,000 shares (in addition to any shares that remained available for awards under the Equity Plan as of the Effective Date and any shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the Equity Plan as of the Effective Date). As of September 30, 2024, there were 343,605 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the LTIP. Pursuant to terms of the LTIP, we have issued to eligible participants RSUs, PSAs and SOSARs. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards In the first nine months of 2024, we granted RSUs to employees under our LTIP. The RSUs awarded in 2024 vest over three years, with 33% vesting on December 31, 2024, 33% on February 28, 2026, and 34% vesting on February 28, 2027. PSAs were not awarded in 2024. Instead, there was a cash restoration award (paid in cash instead of stock) that vests the same as the RSUs. This cash restoration award is outside of the LTIP. In 2023, we granted RSUs and PSAs to employees under our LTIP. In 2023, 50% of fair value of the awards granted were RSUs, which vest based on the passage of time, generally over a graded three-year period or, in certain instances, the RSUs were cliff vesting after one or three years. The remaining 50% of the fair value of the awards granted in 2023 were PSAs. The PSAs awarded vest based on either the achievement of cumulative financial performance targets covering a two-year period or based on the three-year total shareholder return relative to a broad market index. The performance measures include a minimum, target and maximum performance level providing the grantees an opportunity to receive more or less shares than targeted depending on actual financial performance. For RSUs, the grant date fair value of the awards, or the closing price per common share on the date of the award, is used to determine the amount of expense to be recognized over the applicable service period. For PSAs, the grant date fair value is estimated using a lattice model. The significant inputs include the stock price, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rate of return. Settlement of RSUs and PSAs will be made in shares of our common stock currently held in treasury. The following table summarizes RSU and PSA activity during periods indicated:

Stock-Only Stock Appreciation Rights Under terms of the SOSAR, a recipient receives the right to a payment in the form of shares of common stock equal to the difference, if any, in the fair market value of one share of common stock at the time of exercising the SOSAR and the exercise price. All SOSARs are vested, exercisable and have a term of ten years. No SOSARs have been awarded since 2016. The following table sets forth information related to outstanding SOSARs:
