Stock Options and Award Programs |
Stock Options and Award Programs | 16. Stock Options and Award Programs The Company’s stock incentive plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and authorizes the grant or award of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (NQSO), restricted stock awards (RSA), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards and phantom shares. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Any shares associated with options forfeited are added back to the number of shares that underlie stock options to be granted under the stock incentive plan. The Company has issued restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock option awards as described below. Valuation of Stock Awards Restricted Stock. The Company records the fair value of all restricted stock awards based on the grant date fair value and amortizes stock compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Restricted stock award shares are issued when granted and included in the total number of common shares issued and outstanding. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted 231,873 RSAs and 66,274 RSAs, respectively. Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Company estimates the fair value of nonqualified stock awards using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”). The fair value of each stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model, which requires an assumption of dividend yield, risk free interest rates, volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the expected option term. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The Company did not grant NQSOs during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
