Compensation Plans | 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, 2018, there were 287,354 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 There are no longer any common shares available for future awards under the 2011 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), although awards granted under the 2011 plan remain issued and outstanding. Restricted stock grants issued under the 2011 Plan, 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 Plan 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 (sometimes referred to collectively as, “Restricted Stock”) under the 2014 Plan. Restricted stock units represent common shares which may be issued in the future, whereas restricted stock awards represent common shares issued and outstanding upon grant subject to vesting restrictions. The following table represents a roll-forward of outstanding Restricted Stock and related activity during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:
| Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Price per Share
Outstanding Restricted Stock as of December 31, 2016 | 223,800 |  |  | $ | 132.96 |
Grants issued | 41,350 |  |  | 204.46 |
Grants vested | (65,500 | ) |  | 98.81 |
Grants forfeited | (1,750 | ) |  | 100.73 |
Outstanding Restricted Stock as of December 31, 2017 | 197,900 |  |  | $ | 165.60 |
Grants issued | 70,025 |  |  | 195.00 |
Grants vested | (32,450 | ) |  | 82.30 |
Grants forfeited | (20,900 | ) |  | 196.97 |
Outstanding Restricted Stock as of December 31, 2018 | 214,575 |  |  | $ | 177.22 |
Total deferred equity compensation related to unvested Restricted Stock grants was $22.0 million as of December 31, 2018. Compensation expense related to Restricted Stock grants is calculated based upon the fair market value of the common shares on grant date. The Company’s policy is to adjust compensation expense for forfeitures as they occur. The recognition of compensation expense related to deferred compensation over the remaining vesting periods is as follows:
2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
$ | 7,135,131 |  |  | $ | 5,671,192 |  |  | $ | 4,358,633 |  |  | $ | 3,371,500 |  |  | $ | 1,129,611 |  |  | $ | 341,987 |  |  | $ | 22,008,054 |

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. Effective April 1, 2018, the Company increased its matching contributions of common shares of the Company with a value equal to 250 percent of the first six percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the plan. Prior to April 1, 2018, the Company made 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 contribution 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 401(k) plan during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:
| Shares Issued |  | Company Contribution
December 31, 2018 | 11,967 |  |  | $ | 2,231,735 |
December 31, 2017 | 8,478 |  |  | 1,710,785 |
December 31, 2016 | 9,466 |  |  | 1,738,287 |
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”). Under the Plans, participants may elect to voluntarily defer, for a minimum of five years, certain incentive compensation, which 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. Deferred compensation liability was $22.4 million and $20.5 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
