Benefit Plans

Employment Agreement

The Company is party to an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer that provides for an annual base salary and an annual bonus, if any, as determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The annual bonus is to be determined with reference to the achievement of annual performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers. The agreement also provides that the Chief Executive Officer may be awarded additional compensation, benefits, or consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine.

The agreement provides for the continuation of salary and certain other benefits for a specified period of time upon termination of his employment under certain circumstances, including his resignation for “good reason” or termination by the Company without “cause” at any time or any termination of his employment for any reason within twelve months following a “change in control,” along with other specific conditions.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of equity-based awards to employees, directors, and other eligible persons. Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, the pool of shares available for issuance may be used for available types of equity awards under the 2013 Plan, which includes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, and other share-based awards. All employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors of the Company, are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.

The Company recorded $0.6 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, related to awards made under the 2013 Plan. The company recorded $0.5 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, related to awards made under the 2013 plan.

Directors Deferred Stock Plan

Until January 1, 2014, the Company had a practice of granting awards under a stock compensation plan for members of the Board of Directors (“Directors Deferred Stock Plan”). The Company reserved 180,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan. The Directors Deferred Stock Plan provided directors the option to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in either common stock or deferred stock rights. Deferred stock rights were to be settled in common stock following the end of the deferral period payable on the basis of one share of common stock for each deferred stock right.
