Equity-based Compensation

During the 2023 second quarter and year-to-date period, the Company granted restricted stock totaling 185,368 and 398,390 shares, respectively. During the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, the Company granted restricted stock totaling 139,315 and 290,871 shares, respectively. All grants in 2023 and 2022 were funded out of treasury stock.

Director Board fees are paid in part with quarterly grants of stock units. Of the total shares granted during the 2023 second quarter and year-to-date period, 15,260 and 29,775 shares represented restricted stock units that were granted to Board members, respectively. The shares vest over the quarter in which they were granted and the Company is expensing these grants as such. Grants of similar units to the Board members totaled 12,200 and 24,535 shares of restricted stock units in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

Of the shares granted in the 2023 first quarter, 198,507 shares were granted to senior management, of which 132,340 shares included a performance condition. The shares will only vest, in part, to senior management if at least 80% of a three-year cumulative target for diluted earnings per share is met for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025. If at least 80% of the three-year EPS target is not met, the grants will expire. Of the shares granted during 2022 first quarter, 139,221 shares were granted to senior management, of which 92,815 shares included a performance condition. The shares will only vest in part, to senior management if at least 80% of a three-year cumulative target for diluted earnings per share is met for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. If at least 80% of the three-year EPS target is not met, the grants will expire. Management continually evaluates the probability of these performance conditions being met.

The remaining shares granted in the 2023 and 2022 second quarter and year-to-date periods include shares that vest ratably over a period of three or four years, beginning one year from the date of grant.

The restricted shares granted are considered outstanding, can be voted, and are eligible to receive dividends in the event any are paid. However, these shares do not include a non-forfeitable right for the holder to receive dividends and none will be paid in the event the awards do not vest. Accordingly, only vested shares of outstanding restricted stock are included in the basic earnings per share calculation. The shares and share units granted in 2023 and 2022 were from the 2020 Equity Award Plan.

A total of 168,136 stock options were granted during the 2023 first quarter on March 17, 2023 from the 2020 Equity Award Plan. The options have a fair value of $3.05 per share using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value include the price on the date of grant of $7.75 per option, an expected life of 4.3 years, expected volatility of 43.2%, an expected dividend yield of zero, and a risk free rate of 3.4%. The options vest ratably over three years, and are being expensed over that period. A total of 134,790 stock options were granted during the 2022 first quarter on March 18, 2022 from the 2020 Equity Award Plan. The options have a fair value of $3.14 per share using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value include the price on the date of grant of $9.12 per option, an expected life of 3.4 years, expected volatility of 44.6%, an expected dividend yield of zero, and a risk free rate of 2.1%. The options vest ratably over three years, and are being expensed over that period.
