Stock Option Plans On December 23, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and on February 23, 2017, its shareholders approved, the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which a total of 1.0 million shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance. The 2017 plan would have terminated pursuant to its terms in December 2026; however, the 2017 Plan was replaced by the Company’s 2021 Plan (as defined below), and as a result, no further issuances of shares may be made under the 2017 Plan. On April 9, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and on June 23, 2021, its shareholders approved, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan,” and together with the 2017 Plan, the “Plans”), under which a total of 1.3 million shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance. On October 20, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, and on February 9, 2023, its shareholders approved, an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 1.3 million shares to 1.55 million shares of common stock of the Company. The 2021 Plan will terminate in 2031. On October 19, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 1.55 million shares to 2.5 million shares of common stock of the Company (the “Plan Amendment”). The Plan Amendment will be presented to the Company’s shareholders for approval at its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on February 8, 2024. If approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Plan Amendment will be effective as of the date of such approval. If the Plan Amendment is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Plan Amendment will not become effective, and the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan will remain at 1.55 million shares. As of November 30, 2023, employees and directors of the Company held Qualified Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”) to purchase an aggregate of 1.9 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.85 to $66.14 per share. The following tables summarize information about stock options:

The total grant-date fair value of nonvested stock options as of November 30, 2023, was $22.1 million and is amortizable over a weighted-average period of 3.67 years. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The following table summarizes the fair value of the options, including both ISOs and NQSOs, granted during the three month period ended November 30, 2023 and fiscal year 2023:

During the three months ended November 30, 2023, we issued 4,255 shares of stock valued at $0.2 million to our nonmanagement directors as compensation for board-related duties. The Company's par-value common stock and additional paid-in capital as of November 30, 2023, were $11 thousand and $146.6 million, respectively. Share Repurchases No share repurchases were made during the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022. On December 29, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and on January 11, 2023, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) to repurchase an aggregate of $20 million of our outstanding shares of common stock as part of the share repurchase program, which was settled in full in May 2023. The share repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated at any time at our Board of Directors’ discretion. In January 2023, we received an initial delivery of an aggregate of 408,685 shares of our common stock from Morgan Stanley pursuant to the ASR Agreement, in exchange for which we made an initial payment of $20 million to Morgan Stanley. These 408,685 shares were retired and are treated as authorized, unissued shares. At final settlement on May 20, 2023, based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, Morgan Stanley delivered an additional 83,356 shares of Company common stock to us, which shares were also retired and treated as authorized, unissued shares. After completion of the repurchases under the ASR Agreement, $30 million remains available for additional repurchases under our authorized repurchase program.
