Shareholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
NOTE 11 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Shareholders’ Equity
Under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, certain rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock are modified by shares of Class B stock for as long as such shares shall remain outstanding. During that period, holders of common stock will have the right to elect approximately 25% of the Company’s Board of Directors, and conversely, holders of Class B stock will be entitled to elect approximately 75% of the Company’s Board of Directors. During the period when shares of common stock and Class B stock are outstanding, certain matters submitted to a vote of shareholders will also require approval of the holders of common stock and Class B stock, each voting separately as a class. Common stock and Class B shareholders have equal rights with respect to dividends, preferences, and rights, including rights in liquidation.
Stock-Based Compensation
On March 17, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”).
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, all outstanding common stock options issued under the 2009 Plan were fully vested. All remaining unexercised, outstanding common stock options issued under the 2009 Plan expired as of September 30, 2021.
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, 45,000 outstanding Class B stock options issued under the 2009 Plan were fully vested. These options expired as of September 30, 2021. In addition, 30,000 outstanding Class B stock options issued under the 2009 Plan were fully vested at September 30, 2021, and remain exercisable through September 26, 2026 as long as the employee remains employed by the Company (however, refer to
