Stock-Based Compensation | Compensation Plans Equity Incentive Plans 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan At the Company’s annual shareholder meeting on April 30, 2014, shareholders approved the 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan is intended to facilitate the Company’s ability to attract and retain staff, provide additional incentive to employees and directors, and promote the success of the Company’s business. The 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of 600,000 Common Shares of the Company in various forms of equity awards. The 2014 Plan also authorizes cash incentive awards. As of December 31, 2015, there were 456,808 Common Shares available for awards under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, may grant awards and otherwise administer the 2014 Plan. Restricted stock units and restricted stock grants issued under the 2014 Plan, which vest over time, are recorded as deferred compensation in the equity section of the balance sheet on the grant date and then recognized as compensation expense based on the grant date price over the vesting period of the respective grant. Stock grants issued under the 2014 Plan are recorded as compensation expense based on the grant date price. 2011 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan and 2005 Employee and Director Equity Incentive Plan There are no longer any Common Shares available for future issuance under either the 2011 or 2005 equity incentive plans, although outstanding grants under these plans remain issued and outstanding. Restricted stock grants issued under the 2011 and 2005 equity incentive plans, which vest over time, were recorded as deferred compensation in the equity section of the balance sheet on the grant date and then recognized as compensation expense based on the grant date price over the vesting period of the respective grant. Stock grants issued under the 2011 and 2005 equity incentive plans were recorded as compensation expense based on the grant date price. Share-Based Payment Transactions The Company issues restricted stock units and restricted stock awards (collectively, "Restricted Stock") under the 2014 Plan. Restricted stock units represent shares which may be issued in the future, whereas restricted stock awards represent shares issued and outstanding upon grant with vesting restrictions. The following table represents a roll-forward of outstanding Restricted Stock and related activity during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:
| Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Price per Share

Grants issued | 60,613 |  |  | 124.05 |
Grants vested | (28,731 | ) |  | 63.47 |

Grants forfeited | (3,500 | ) |  | 77.81 |
Outstanding Restricted Stock as of December 31, 2015 | 329,356 |  |  | $ | 108.46 |
Total deferred compensation related to unvested Restricted Stock grants was $19.3 million as of December 31, 2015. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants is calculated based upon the fair market value of the Common Shares on grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense recognition of deferred compensation over the remaining vesting periods, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is as follows:
2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
$ | 5,243,958 |  |  | $ | 4,647,054 |  |  | $ | 3,943,960 |  |  | $ | 3,039,242 |  |  | $ | 1,309,111 |  |  | $ | 1,111,459 |  |  | $ | 19,294,784 |

401(k) Plan The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan in which all employees are eligible to participate. Employees may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company makes matching contributions of common shares of the Company with a value equal to 200 percent of the first six percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the plan. Employees become fully vested in the matching contributions after six plan years of employment. The following table summarizes the Company’s expenses attributable to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:
For the year ended December 31,
2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
$ | 1,645,434 |  |  | $ | 1,356,035 |  |  | $ | 1,158,354 |
Deferred Compensation Plans The Company offers two deferred compensation plans, the Diamond Hill Fixed Term Deferred Compensation Plan and the Diamond Hill Variable Term Deferred Compensation Plan (collectively the “Plans”) to its employees. Under the Plans, participants may elect to voluntarily defer, for a minimum of five years, certain incentive compensation, that the Company then contributes into the Plans. Each participant is responsible for designating investment options for assets they contribute, and the distribution paid to each participant reflects any gains or losses on the assets realized while in the Plans. Assets held in the Plans are included in the Company’s investment portfolio, and the associated obligation to participants is included in deferred compensation liability. Assets held in the Plans are recorded at fair value. Deferred compensation liability was $10.2 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
