Note 13 — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan, authorizes grants of stock‑based compensation instruments to purchase or issue up to 2,770,000 shares of Company common stock.

In connection with its IPO in January 2020, the Company granted stock options to non-employee directors and certain employees, including named executive officers to purchase approximately 782,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price of $13.00. On December 24, 2020, the Company granted stock options to a non-employee director to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the grant date market price of $6.28. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, 15,000 shares were exercised at the price per share of $13.00. On September 8, 2023, the Company granted stock options to an employee to purchase 5,464 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the grant date market price of $11.68.

In January 2021, the Company issued 480,000 shares of restricted stock awards to certain employees, including named executive officers at no cost to employees. In May 2021, the Company issued 26,511 shares of restricted stock awards to certain non-employee directors.

In February 2022, the Company issued 125,250 shares of restricted stock awards and 102,750 shares of performance stock unit awards to certain employees, including named executive officers at no cost to employees. In May 2022, the Company issued 31,215 shares of restricted stock awards to certain non-employee directors.

In January 2023, the Company issued 198,137 shares of restricted stock awards and 153,637 shares of performance stock unit awards to certain employees, including named executive officers at no cost to employees. In May 2023, the Company issued 31,629 shares of restricted stock awards to certain non-employee directors.

Restricted stock-based awards vest ratably over a service period of three years from the date of the grant. Performance-based stock unit awards are linked to the average core net income annual growth over the three-year period from the year of grant. Settlement of vested performance-based stock units will be made on the date that the Compensation Committee certifies the average core net income annual growth for the three-year period. Compensation expense related to restricted stock-based awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Compensation expense related to performance-based stock unit awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is recognized over the vesting period using an estimate of the probability of achieving the performance target. The estimates will be reviewed quarterly, and the expense adjusted accordingly.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") which allows permitted eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations beginning July 2022. The purchase price of the shares under the ESPP equals 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on either the first or last day of each six-month offering period. Compensation expense is calculated as of the beginning of the offering period as the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights utilizing the Black-Scholes option valuation model and is recognized as a compensation expense over the offering period.

The Company recognized a total of $1.1 million and $0.9 million compensation expense related to the outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, ESPP, and unvested performance-based stock unit awards granted to employees for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such amount is included in “Compensation and employee benefits” on the consolidated statements of income. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards, ESPP, and performance-based stock unit awards totaled $4.7 million and $4.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Treasury share purchases represent shares surrendered to the Company approximately equal in value to the statutory payroll tax withholding obligations and other estimated tax obligations arising from the vesting of employee restricted stock awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company purchased 85,574 treasury shares at an average price of $9.78 per share. No shares were purchased during the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023.
