Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock-based Compensation Expense | Stock-based compensation expense All grants of equity are presently made under the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2015, 0.9 million shares remained available for grant under the Plan. Options issued under the Plan are designated as either an incentive stock or a non-statutory stock option. No option may be granted with a term of more than 10 years from the date of grant. Exercisability of option awards may depend on achievement of certain performance measures determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board. Shares issued upon option exercise are newly issued shares. Stock-based compensation expense, shown in the table below, is recorded in general and administrative expenses included in our statement of income:
