EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS |
EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS | 12. EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS: ​ Omnibus Plans ​ The Company has two equity-based incentive plans, the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively the “Omnibus Plans”), which provide for equity incentives to employees. Each Omnibus Plan is 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 120,000 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 2025, awards with respect to a total of 83,307 shares, net of forfeitures, have been awarded pursuant to the Omnibus Plans, and awards with respect to another 36,693 shares may be awarded under the Omnibus Plans. ​ Restricted Stock Awards ​ At September 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors had authorized and approved the following restricted stock awards to members of the Company’s management team pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Omnibus Plans: ​

There is no direct cost to the recipients of the restricted stock awards, except for any applicable taxes. The restricted stock awards provide that the recipients receive common stock in the Company, subject to certain restrictions until such time as the awards vest. The recipients of the restricted stock awards 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 compensation expense recorded in the Company’s Statement of Operations reflects the straight-line amortized fair value. ​ The following summarizes restricted stock award activity under the Omnibus Plans during fiscal 2025: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Number | ​ | Weighted

​ Income from operations before income taxes included compensation expense related to the amortization of the Company’s restricted stock awards of approximately $2.6 million during fiscal 2025 and $2.6 million during fiscal 2024. The tax benefit related to this compensation expense was approximately $0.7 million in fiscal 2025 and $0.7 million in fiscal 2024. At September 2025, total unamortized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was approximately $2.3 million. This unamortized compensation expense is expected to be amortized over approximately the next 16 months.
