Note 15 – Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2012, the Board approved the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of Awards (as defined in the 2012 Plan) of up to a maximum of 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, non-employee members of the Board, and consultants of the Corporation. During 2014, the 2012 Plan was amended to provide for the issuance of Awards of up to 880,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The awards can be issued in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options or restricted stock, and have expiration dates of 5 or 10 years after issuance, depending whether the recipient already holds more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company’s shares. The exercise price will be based on the fair market value of the share on the date of issuance; vesting periods will be determined by the board upon issuance of the Award.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, 160,600 shares of restricted stock were issued under the 2012 Plan. The grant date fair value of all restricted stock issuances ranged from $1.89 – $8.06 per share. The grant date fair value was calculated based on a weighted analysis of (i) publicly-traded companies in similar line of business to the Company (market comparable method)—Level 2 inputs, and (ii) discounted cash flows of the Company—Level 3 inputs. The Company recognized $229 and $196 of compensation expense for the vested restricted stock during the three months ended, and $650 and $611 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $1,775.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under the 2012 Plan from January 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016:

On December 2, 2016, 77,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock vested. The Company had been recognizing compensation expense on these performance-based restricted stock over the expected timeframe until a triggering event and accelerated recognition of the remaining $231 compensation expense through the trigger date.
