Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-based Compensation and Treasury Stock | Stock-based Compensation and Treasury Stock Stock-based Compensation The Company has a stock-based compensation plan (the “Stock Plan”) that allows for the grant of common stock of the Company to members of management, key executives and non-employee directors. 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. 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”). The performance grants are based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary divided by the stock price on the grant date once the performance criteria has been met, and generally vest over a two-year period as service is provided. There were no shares of common stock granted to management under the Stock Plan for fiscal year 2020 performance because the financial performance and other criteria were not met. Executive Awards Certain restricted stock grants are made to key executives under the Stock Plan (“Executive Awards”). These grants generally vest over a three to five-year period as service is provided. During December 2020, the Company granted 95,000 shares of common stock with a per share price of $15.26 to key executives under the Stock Plan. The related compensation expense of approximately $1,450,000 will be recognized equally over the next three years as the shares vest. Director Awards The Company issues shares of common stock to non-employee directors under the Stock Plan on an annual basis that vest upon grant (“Director Awards”). During January 2021 and 2020, 27,815 and 17,841 shares, respectively, of common stock were granted as Director Awards. The Company recognized $469,000 and $358,000 of stock-based compensation to non-employee directors during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, members of management exchanged 46,993 and 11,314 shares, respectively, of common stock with fair values of $701,000 and $213,000, respectively, at the date of the exchanges, for the payment of payroll taxes associated with the vesting of shares under the Company’s stock-based compensation programs. Treasury Stock Share Repurchase Program On March 12, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $10,000,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock through March 2021. Under the share repurchase program, purchases of shares of common stock may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock.
