STOCK AWARDS
 
In accordance with the
2013
Incentive Plan, stock awards, including stock options and restricted stock, have been
granted to certain employees and non-employee directors. Shares of common stock available for distribution to satisfy the grants
may
consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.  Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards totaled
$0.2
million and
$0.1
million as of
December 31, 2017
and
2016,
respectively.
 
Stock Options
 
The stock option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Bancshares’ common stock on the date of the grant and have vesting periods ranging from
one
to
three
years, with
10
-year contractual terms.
 
The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award
s vesting period. The fair value of outstanding awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Bancshares
common stock.
