Stock Based Compensation STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
The 2015 Ownership Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") was ratified by LCNB Corp.'s shareholders at the annual meeting on April 28, 2015 and allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, and/or restricted share units. The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 450,000 shares of common stock. The 2015 Plan will terminate on April 28, 2025 and could be subject to earlier termination by the Board Compensation Committee.

Stock-based awards may be in the form of treasury shares or newly issued shares.

Restricted stock awards granted under the 2015 Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
