Stock Compensation Plans STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company maintains one active stock compensation plan, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Under the 2019 Plan, the Company may grant options and awards of restricted stock (with or without performance measures) for up to 350,000 shares of common stock, of which 300,000 shares are reserved for issuance to employees and officers, and 50,000 shares are reserved for issuance to directors and directors emeriti. Shares issued under the 2019 Plan may be purchased on the open market or issued from the Company's authorized and unissued shares.  The exercise price of each stock option equals the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally vest in equal annual installments over five years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and have a maximum contractual term of ten years. Restricted stock awards typically vest in equal annual installments over a three- or five-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. At March 31, 2025, 160,185 shares of common stock remained available for further issuance under the 2019 Plan, either as stock options or restricted stock.

The Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") expired on January 27, 2025; therefore, no further awards may be granted under the plan. As of March 31, 2025, there were 159,780 shares outstanding that had been previously granted in the 2014 Plan, of which 137,350 were vested and 22,430 were unvested.
