Stock Based Compensation STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On May 13, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan and approved amendments on May 14, 2024 and May 15, 2025 (as amended, the "2021 Plan"). The 2021 Plan replaced the 2006 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) approved in May 2006 and amended in May 2015. The 2021 Plan allows for grants to employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards (“stock awards”) up to an aggregate of 1,269,823 shares for issuance. At September 30, 2025, 336,841 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Awards can be granted under the 2021 Plan through the earlier of May 13, 2031, or the date the maximum number of available shares under the 2021 Plan have been granted.

Awards under the 2021 Plan vest over one to three years. Shares granted under the 2021 Plans vest immediately upon the date of a participant’s death, disability or change in control.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 employees withheld 40,953 shares of the Company's common stock to satisfy income withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, and in the same period in 2024 the Company withheld 72,658 shares.
Restricted Stock
The Company grants shares of its common stock to certain directors, officers, key managers and employees in the form of unvested stock and units (“Restricted Stock”). These awards are measured at the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance and recognized ratably as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which is typically three years. The Company adjusts compensation expense for actual forfeitures, as they occur.
The following summarizes the status of Restricted Stock and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Performance Restricted Stock Awards
The Company grants shares of its common stock to certain officers and key managers in the form of shares of performance based restricted stock ("Performance Restricted Stock Awards").

The total amount payable as of the award's vesting date is determined by the three year average Operational Income and Return on Capital Employed performance measure achievement. The Company adjusts compensation expense for actual forfeitures as they occur, and for estimated performance measure achievement.
