Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | ( 6 )Stock Option Plans The 2015 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”) was approved by the Shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on May 20, 2015 and permits the Company to grant the Company’s key employees and directors stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and phantom stock. Under the 2015 Plan, the number of shares which may be issued is 500,000, but in no instance more than 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.During the first quarter of 2018, the Company issued 15,667 Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”) to its CEO as part of his compensation for the year ended December 31, 2017. These options vest 100% at the date of issuance, and therefore, are expensed immediately.During the second quarter of 2018, the Company issued 120,000 Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NSO”) to its Board of Directors. These NSOs vest over 5 years and expire in increments beginning April 1, 2024 and concluding April 1, 2028. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company issued Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”) to its employees. The Company issued 25,000 ISOs to its CEO and 92,250 ISOs to its remaining employees. These ISOs vest over 5 years and expire in increments beginning April 1, 2024 and concluding April 1, 2028. The NSOs and the ISOs issued during the second quarter of 2018 were issued in recognition of the Company’s 10 -year anniversary.As of September 30, 2018, 264,457 stock options have been granted under the 2015 Plan and 204,844 options are available for grant.
The fair value of shares vested and recognized as compensation expense was $105,000 and $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, there was $690,000 in unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2015 Plan, with an average remaining life of 54 months.The fair value of each option granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions:
The Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to determine the estimated life of options issued. Expected volatility is based on volatility of similar companies’ common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. As of May 20, 2015, no further grants will be made under the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Unexercised stock options that were granted under the 2007 Plan will remain outstanding and will expire under the terms of the individual stock grant. A summary of the activity in the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan is as follows:
At September 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2007 plan.In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders adopted the Directors’ Plan. The Directors’ Plan permits the Company’s and the Bank’s directors to elect to receive any compensation to be paid to them in shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Directors’ Plan, each director is permitted to make an election to receive shares of stock instead of cash. To encourage directors to elect to receive stock, the Directors’ Plan provides that if a director elects to receive stock, he or she will receive in common stock 110% of the amount of cash fees set by the Board or the Compensation and Nominating Committee. The value of stock to be awarded pursuant to the Directors’ Plan will be the closing price of a share of common stock as traded on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board, or a price set by the Board or its Compensation and Nominating Committee, acting in good faith, but in no case less than fair market value. The maximum number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Directors’ Plan is limited to 74,805 shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our directors received 2,194 and 3,104 shares of common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash fees calculated at 110% to be $46,000 and $51,000, respectively. At September 30, 2018, 55,908 shares remained available for grant. |
