(10)   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

In June 2017, our stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Stock Plan”) with a maximum of 5,500,000 shares reserved for issuance. Awards permitted under the 2017 Stock Plan include: Stock Options and Restricted Stock. Awards issued under the 2017 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and generally vest over four years. Restricted Stock Awards are issued to the recipient upon grant and are not included in outstanding shares until such vesting and issuance occurs.

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 no stock option awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Plan. At September 30, 2024, the Company had 0.3 million stock options outstanding and 0.3 million exercisable under the following plans:
