Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation | 8. Stock-Based Compensation Since the date of its effectiveness on May 5, 2016, the Company issues new grants of stock-based awards pursuant to the Dawson Geophysical Company 2016 Stock and Performance Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). All of the Company’s prior plans have expired pursuant to their terms and no awards previously granted under prior plans remain outstanding. The awards outstanding and available under the 2016 Plan, as restated in 2020, and their associated accounting treatment are discussed below. In 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Plan, which provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of authorized Company common stock, which authorized amount was increased to 1,050,000 as a result of the 5% stock dividend approved by the Board on May 1, 2018. At the annual shareholders’ meeting on June 9, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved a restated version of the 2016 Plan (the “Restated 2016 Plan”), which authorized an additional 1,000,000 shares. The total aggregate numbers of shares of Common Stock reserved under the Restated 2016 Plan is 2,050,000 shares. As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately 1,049,437 shares available for future issuance. The Restated 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other forms. Stock option grant prices awarded under the Restated 2016 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock subject to such option on the grant date, and the term of stock options shall extend no more than ten years after the grant date. The Restated 2016 Plan terminates June 9, 2030. The Company’s employees and officers that hold unvested restricted stock awarded during 2016 or thereafter are not entitled to dividends when the Company pays dividends.
