Under the terms of the Plan, 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for the issuance of stock options and restricted stock. The Plan also provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable beginning in fiscal 2011 equal to the lesser of (a) 2% of shares outstanding on the last day of the immediate preceding fiscal year, (b) 50,000 shares, or (c) such lesser number of shares as the Company’s board of directors shall determine, provided, however, in no event shall the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to stock awards be greater than 15% of the aggregate shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. With the automatic increases, there were 220,416 shares of common stock on January 1, 2012. On January 20, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares authorized under the Plan from 220,416 to 420,416.This increase was ratified by the shareholders of the Company on June 29, 2012.
