Stock Options

In 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan designed to help the Company attract, retain, and motivate employees and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock may be granted as part of the plan.

On August 27, 2015, the Company issued 38,750 stock options to a group of employees. Each option granted has a strike price of $42.03 and is exercisable only after five years following the date of the grant of such options. The options expire ten years following the date of the grant of such options.

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis

over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the

value of the vested portion of the award at that date. The Company determines the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury bond with a similar term to the expected life of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility was estimated based on the adjusted historic volatility of the Company’s shares. The expected life was estimated to equal the contractual life of the options. The dividend yield rate was based upon recent historical dividends paid on shares.
