SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Share-Based Plans

As of June 30, 2018, we had share-based awards outstanding under the following plans: (1) the 2008 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 Director LTIP”), (2) the 2017 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2017 Director LTIP”), and (3) the 2012 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 Employee LTIP”). Both of the share-based plans define fair market value as the previous trading day’s closing price when the grant date falls on a date the stock was not traded.
 
Restricted Stock Activity

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we granted 841 restricted shares under the 2017 Director LTIP, and 69,847 restricted shares under the 2012 Employee LTIP. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we granted 282 restricted shares under the 2008 Director LTIP, and 66,530 restricted shares under the 2012 Employee LTIP. A summary of the restricted shares is as follows:

Upon each vesting period of the restricted stock awards, employees are subject to minimum tax withholding obligations. Under the 2012 Employee LTIP, we may purchase a sufficient number of shares due to the participant to satisfy their minimum tax withholding on employee stock awards. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had withheld 37,086 shares of common stock at a value of $3.6 million, which was included in treasury stock.

Compensation Expense
 
We recognize compensation cost for awards of restricted stock with graded vesting on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. There are no additional conditions for vesting other than service conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $1.7 million and $1.5 million of total share-based compensation expense, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $14.3 million as of June 30, 2018, which will be fully recognized over the next thirty six (36) months.

We also provide our employees with a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan, to which we may contribute from time to time at our sole discretion. Employer contributions to the plan are fully vested at all times. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our estimated contribution expense for the plan was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
