Stock Options and Awards |
Stock Options and Awards | Note I - Stock Options and Awards On February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted The Eastern Company 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). On April 29, 2020, at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved and adopted the 2020 Plan. The Company has no other existing plan pursuant to which equity awards may be granted. Restricted stock unit awards may be granted to participants under the 2020 Plan with restrictions determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. During the first six months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company granted stock awards with respect to 35,856 and 38,448 shares of Company common stock, respectively, that were subject to the meeting of performance measurements or time- based. For the first six months of fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the Company used fair market value to determine the associated expense with stock awards. Incentive stock options granted under the 2020 Plan must have exercise prices that are not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates the stock options are granted. Under the 2020 Plan, non-qualified stock options granted to participants will have exercise prices determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Company issued 48,240 and 53,568 options during the first six months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2025, the Company used several assumptions which included an expected term of three years, volatility deviation of 40.34% and a risk-free rate of 4.34% to determine the expense associated with options. For the first six months of fiscal 2024, the Company used several assumptions which included an expected term of three years, volatility deviation of 38.30% and a risk-free rate of 4.51% to determine the expense associated with options.
