EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS |
EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS | 10. EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS: Omnibus Plan The Company has two equity-based incentive plans, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively “the Omnibus Plans”), which provide for equity incentives to employees. Each Omnibus Plan was designed with the intent of encouraging employees to acquire a vested interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The Omnibus Plans together permit the issuance of up to 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards as well as awards such as stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares, bonus shares, and dividend share awards payable in the form of common stock or cash. The number of shares issuable under the Omnibus Plans is subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. At September 2017, awards with respect to a total of 190,935 shares, net of forfeitures, had been awarded pursuant to the Omnibus Plans and awards with respect to another 34,065 shares may be awarded under the Omnibus Plans. Stock Options The Company issued 6,000 and 5,500 incentive stock options during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, respectively, to various employees pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Plan. These awards vest in equal installments over a five year service period. The awards had an estimated fair value at the grant date of approximately $0.1 million in both fiscal years using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in connection with the Black‑Scholes option pricing calculation as it relates to the fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 incentive stock option awards:
|  | Stock Option |  | Stock Option
|  | Pricing |  | Pricing
|  | Assumptions |  | Assumptions

Risk-free interest rate |  | 2.12 | % |  | 1.98 | %
Dividend yield |  | 0.6 | % |  | 0.9 | %
Expected volatility |  | 22.40 | % |  | 24.30 | %
Expected life in years |  | 6 |  |  | 6 |
The stock options issued by the Company expire ten years from the grant date and include a five year graded vesting schedule. At September 2017, the Company had 28,300 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $74.75 per share and 13,200 stock options which were exercisable with a weighted average price of $63.33 per share.

At September 2017, total unamortized compensation expense related to stock options was approximately $0.2 million. This unamortized compensation expense is expected to be amortized over approximately the next 40 months. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was approximately $0.5 million at both September 2017 and September 2016. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million at September 2017 and September 2016, respectively.

(1)16,280 restricted stock units were vested as of September 2017. The remaining 1,320 restricted stock units will vest in equal amounts in October 2017 and October 2018. (2)8,666 of the restricted stock units were vested as of September 2017. The remaining 4,334 restricted stock units will vest in October 2017. (3)4,383 of the restricted stock units were vested as of September 2017. 8,667 of the restricted stock units will vest in equal amounts in October 2017 and October 2018. The remaining 200 restricted stock units will vest annually in October 2017 through October 2020. (4)13,000 of the restricted stock units will vest in equal amounts in October 2017, October 2018, and October 2019. There is no direct cost to the recipients of the restricted stock units, except for any applicable taxes. The recipients of the restricted stock units are entitled to the customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. All cash dividends and/or distributions payable to restricted stock recipients will be held in escrow until all the conditions of vesting have been met. The restricted stock units provide that the recipients can elect, at their option, to receive either common stock in the Company, or a cash settlement based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares, at the time of vesting. Based on these award provisions, the compensation expense recorded in the Company’s Statement of Operations reflects the straight‑line amortized fair value based on the period end closing price under the liability method. Net income before income taxes included compensation expense related to the amortization of the Company’s restricted stock unit awards of approximately $1.3 million during both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016. These amounts were recorded as accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at both September 2017 and September 2016. The tax benefit related to this compensation expense was approximately $0.5 million in both fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock units vested was approximately $1.3 million during both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016. Total unamortized compensation expense for these awards based on the September 2017 closing price was approximately $1.3 million. This unamortized compensation expense, plus any changes in the fair value of the awards through the settlement date, are expected to be amortized over approximately the next 16 months (the weighted‑average period). The following summarizes restricted stock unit activity under the Omnibus Plans during fiscal 2017:
|  | Number |  | Weighted |
|  | of |  | Average |
|  | Shares |  | Fair Value |
Nonvested restricted stocks units at September 2016 |  | 28,567 |  | $ | 90.96 |
