8. STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER EQUITY AWARDS

        As of December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock, as all previously issued options were exercised or expired prior to September 30, 2015. There were no stock options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

        No options to purchase shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because none of the stock options were anti-dilutive.

        On January 28, 2013, stockholders approved the Nutraceutical International Corporation 2013 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") and the reservation of 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance under the 2013 Plan. Equity awards available under the 2013 Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock awards. In conjunction with the Company's fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 incentive compensation (bonus) payments, 22,664 and 24,827 shares of the Company's common stock were issued, respectively. These non-cash stock awards were granted on December 11, 2015 and December 11, 2014 at an aggregate fair value of $556 and $504, respectively, with fair value being determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. These stock awards were registered, unrestricted and fully vested on the grant date. As of December 31, 2015, 720,721 shares of the Company's common stock were available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
