Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN | 9. RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN The Company has a Restricted Share Plan (the “Plan”) as approved by shareholders on February 8, 2019. The Plan allows the Company to grant, from time to time, restricted shares as compensation to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions, including the period under which the shares will be restricted (the “Restricted Period”) and subject to forfeiture which is determined by the Board at the time of the grant. The recipient of Restricted Shares is entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive any dividends, except that the shares granted under the Plan are nontransferable during the Restricted Period. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan will not exceed 1% of the then issued and outstanding number of Common Shares at the time of the grant. As of August 31, 2023, the maximum number of shares available to be issued under the Plan was 17,251. The Board of Directors has set the compensation for non-executive Directors under the Plan at 25 common shares for each quarter of service. The cumulative amount of shares earned each fiscal year to be granted shortly after the close of that fiscal year. Non-executive Directors also received a one-time initial grant of 225 common shares which were issued in December 2020. During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company made three issuances of common shares under the Plan. Under the first issuance, a total of 2,603 common shares were issued to Officers, Directors and Employees at a deemed price of $10.70 per share. 2,015 of these shares were issued to Officers and Directors without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement filed on December 7, 2020. The remaining 588 shares were issued to Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period. Under the second issuance, 2,500 common shares were issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at a deemed price of $7.80 per share. These 2,500 common shares were issued without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement. 1,078 shares were issued at a deemed price of $8.80 per share as the second year’s allocation of shares to employees who were granted shares in a three-year vesting period beginning in fiscal 2021. During the year ended August 31, 2023, 3,557 common shares were issued under the Plan at an average price of $6.55 per share. 500 shares were granted to Directors without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement. 3,057 common shares were granted to Officers and Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period.
