Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

Note 13: Stock-Based Compensation

 

From time to time, the Company grants stock option and restricted stock units awards to officers and employees and grants stock awards to directors as compensation for their service to the Company.

 

In November 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) which was restated in its entirety in August 2018. As amended, up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based awards. The 2010 Plan expired on September 14, 2020 (except as to options outstanding as of this date).

 

In April 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Upon adoption of the 2019 Plan no additional awards were granted under the 2010 Plan. No more than 697,039 shares of common stock, plus the number of shares of common stock underlying any award granted under the 2010 Plan that expires, terminates, is canceled, or is forfeited shall be available for grant under the 2019 Plan. The Plan was amended in July 2020 to include up to 1,025,000 shares of commons stock, plus the number of shares of common stock underlying any award granted under the 2010 Plan that expires, terminates, is canceled, or is forfeited to be available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based awards. The 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based awards. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

 

Stock Options

 

Stock option awards under the 2010 Plan and 2019 Plan (the “Plans”) have a 10-year maximum contractual term and, subject to the provisions regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, must be issued at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors, which has the authority to determine to whom options may be granted, the period of exercise, and what other restrictions, if any, should apply. Vesting for awards granted to date under the Plans is principally over four years from the date of the grant, with 25% of the award vesting after one year and monthly vesting thereafter.

 

Option awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

6.25 years

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5.11 and $6.24, respectively.

 

For grants prior to January 1, 2015, the volatility assumption was based on historical volatility of similar sized companies due to lack of historical data of the Company’s stock price. For all grants subsequent to January 1, 2015, the volatility assumption reflects the Company’s historic stock volatility for the period of February 1, 2014 forward, which is the date the Company’s stock began actively trading. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected term of the underlying award. The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

 

Stock option awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense of approximately $1.12 million and $1.08 million, respectively, associated with stock option awards. At December 31, 2020, future stock compensation expense associated with stock options (net of estimated forfeitures) not yet recognized was approximately $2.17 million and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.45 years.

Restricted Stock Units

 

The 2019 Plan allows for the granting of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Under the 2019 Plan the Board of Directors has the authority to determine whom RSUs may be granted, the period of exercise, and what other restrictions, if any, should apply. RSUs have a value equal to the fair market value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock, which may, but need not, provide that such restricted award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for a period determined by the Board of Directors. Vesting for awards granted to date under the 2019 Plan is generally over three years from the date of the grant, with 33% of the award vesting after one year and monthly vesting thereafter.

 

RSUs are expensed using a graded vested schedule which are recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense associated with RSUs of approximately $0.2 million and $9,000, respectively. At December 31, 2020, future stock compensation expense associated with stock awards (net of estimated forfeitures) not yet recognized was approximately $0.66 million and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 3.3 years.

Stock awards are valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, and compensation cost is recorded immediately if there is no vesting period. For awards granted that contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. During the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized expense of approximately $0.21 million and $0.13 million, respectively, associated with Stock Awards. At December 31, 2020, future stock compensation expense associated with stock awards (net of estimated forfeitures) not yet recognized was approximately $0.07 million and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.25 years.
