Stock Compensation Plans

5) Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has three fixed option plans (the “2013 Plan”, the “2014 Director Plan” and the “2022 Equity Incentive Plan”).

Stock Options

Stock based compensation expense for stock options issued of $142,929 and $271,747 has been recognized for these plans for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and is included in personnel expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the options issued was $390,702, which is expected to be recognized over the vesting period.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company estimates the expected life of the options using the simplified method. Future volatility is estimated based upon the weighted historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options is based upon the Federal Reserve Board’s daily interest rates in effect at the time of the grant.

Activity of the stock option plans during the three month period ended March 31, 2023, is summarized as follows:

	Number of Class A Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Class C Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
