​

Equity-Based Compensation

​

On May 20, 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is an equity-based incentive compensation plan, and provides for the grants of up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Awards”). All of the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted Awards. Awards under the Plan are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and have no vesting requirements. Upon granting an Award, the Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, on the date of the grant.

​

On December 10, 2019, June 4, 2020 and May 20, 2021, the Company granted shares under the Plan to non-employee directors at a compensation cost of approximately $337,000 at each grant date, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Such shares were fully vested on the date of issuance and are included in the table below.

Repurchase of Common Stock

​

On June 23, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other manners as permitted by federal securities laws. The repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company subsequently repurchased 3,396,243 shares of common stock during the third and fourth quarter of 2021 at an aggregate cost of approximately $18.2 million at an average cost of approximately $5.37 per share, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares repurchased is applied to reduce additional paid-in capital. The Company did not effect any repurchases during 2020.
