STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have a Management Incentive Plan (MIP) that is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee authorizes the grants of restricted stock awards (shares or units), performance share awards payable in stock based upon the attainment of specified performance goals and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SSARs).We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of LP common stock at a discount. As of September 30, 2019, 2.9 million shares were available for grant under the 2013 Omnibus Plan and 1.9 million shares were available under the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
