EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN |
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN | 4. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN In March 2016, we adopted the Hurco Companies, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Equity Plan”), which allows us to grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards. The 2016 Equity Plan replaced the Hurco Companies, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Equity Plan”) and is the only active plan under which equity awards may be made by us to our employees and non-employee directors. No further awards will be made under our 2008 Equity Plan. The total number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2016 Equity Plan is 856,048, which includes 386,048 shares remaining available for future grants under the 2008 Equity Plan as of March 10, 2016, the date our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Plan. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the officers, directors and key employees who will be granted awards under the 2016 Equity Plan; designate the number of shares subject to each award; determine the terms and conditions upon which awards will be granted; and prescribe the form and terms of award agreements. We have granted restricted shares and performance units under the 2016 Equity Plan that are currently outstanding, and we have granted stock options under the 2008 Equity Plan that are currently outstanding. No stock option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant or such shorter period as the Compensation Committee may determine at the date of grant. The market value of a share of our common stock, for purposes of the 2016 Equity Plan, is the closing sale price as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date in question or, if not a trading day, on the last preceding trading date. A summary of stock option activity for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Weighted Average
​ |  | Stock Options |  | Exercise Price
Outstanding at October 31, 2020 | ​ | 33,307 | ​ | $ | 22.09
Options granted | ​ | — | ​ | ​ | —
Options exercised | ​ | — | ​ | ​ | —
Options cancelled | ​ | — | ​ | ​ | —
Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | ​ | 33,307 | ​ | $ | 22.09
​ Summarized information about outstanding stock options as of January 31, 2021, that have already vested and are currently exercisable, are as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Options Already Vested and
​ |  | Currently Exercisable
Number of outstanding options | ​ | ​ | 33,307
Weighted average remaining contractual life (years) | ​ | ​ | 1.21
Weighted average exercise price per share | ​ | $ | 22.09
Intrinsic value of outstanding options | ​ | $ | 244,000
​ The intrinsic value of an outstanding stock option is calculated as the difference between the stock price as of January 31, 2021 and the exercise price of the option. On January 5, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved a long-term incentive compensation arrangement for our executive officers in the form of time-based restricted shares and performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2016 Equity Plan, which will be payable in shares of our common stock if earned and vested. The awards were approximately 25% time-based vesting and approximately 75% performance-based vesting. The three-year performance period for the PSUs is fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2023. On that date, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 23,164 shares of time-based restricted stock to our executive officers. The restricted shares vest in thirds over three years from the date of grant provided the recipient remains employed through that date. The grant date fair value of the restricted shares was based upon the closing sales price of our common stock on the date of grant, which was $28.60 per share. On January 5, 2021, the Compensation Committee granted a total target number of 39,199 PSUs to our executive officers designated as “PSU – TSR”. These PSUs were weighted as approximately 40% of the overall 2021 executive long-term incentive compensation arrangement and will vest and be paid based upon the total shareholder return of our common stock over the three-year period of fiscal 2021-2023, relative to the total shareholder return of the companies in a specified peer group over that period. Participants will have the ability to earn between 50% of the target number of the PSUs – TSR for achieving threshold performance and 200% of the target number of the PSUs – TSR for achieving maximum performance. The grant date fair value of the PSUs – TSR was $27.04 per PSU and was calculated using the Monte Carlo approach. On January 5, 2021, the Compensation Committee granted a total target number of 32,430 PSUs to our executive officers designated as “PSU – ROIC”. These PSUs were weighted as approximately 35% of the overall 2021 executive long-term incentive compensation arrangement and will vest and be paid based upon the achievement of pre-established goals related to our average return on invested capital over the three-year period of fiscal 2021-2023. Participants will have the ability to earn between 50% of the target number of the PSUs - ROIC for achieving threshold performance and 200% of the target number of the PSUs - ROIC for achieving maximum performance. The grant date fair value of the PSUs – ROIC was based on the closing sales price of our common stock on the grant date, which was $28.60 per share. ​ On November 12, 2020, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 11,531 shares of time-based restricted stock to our non-executive employees. The restricted shares vest in thirds over three years from the date of grant provided the recipient remains employed through that date. The grant date fair value of the restricted shares was based upon the closing sales price of our common stock on the date of grant, which was $29.30 per share. ​ A reconciliation of our restricted stock and PSU activity and related information for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021 is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Weighted Average Grant
​ |  | Number of Shares |  | Date Fair Value
Unvested at October 31, 2020 |  | 231,960 | ​ | $ | 39.03
Shares or units granted |  | 106,324 | ​ |  | 28.10
Shares or units vested |  | (18,463) | ​ |  | 38.34
Shares or units cancelled |  | (42,625) | ​ |  | 43.99
Shares withheld |  | (6,568) | ​ |  | 38.20
Unvested at January 31, 2021 |  | 270,628 | ​ | $ | 34.02
​ During the first three months of fiscal 2021 and 2020, we recorded approximately $659,000 and $136,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to grants under the 2016 Equity Plan. As of January 31, 2021, there was an estimated $4.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost that we expect to recognize by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
