The fair value of such awards is based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of grant and all are classified as equity awards. The Stock Plan has 281,225 remaining shares available to be issued as of October 31, 2020. Performance Awards Certain restricted stock grants are made to management each December under the Stock Plan based on the achievement of certain annual financial performance and other criteria achieved during the previous fiscal year (“Performance Awards”).
