Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On June 7, 2018, our Board of Directors adopted the CalAmp Corp. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved by our stockholders on July 25, 2018. The ESPP provides for the issuance of 1,750,000 shares of our common stock. The first enrollment under the ESPP Plan commenced in February 2019. There are two enrollment periods each year that commence on February 1st and August 1st and lasts for six months. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP Plan for the years ended February 28/29, 2021 and 2020 were $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP plan for the year ended February 28, 2019 was de minimis.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the 2004 Plan) effective July 30, 2004, which provides for the granting of qualified and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, performance stock units (PSUs), restricted stock units (RSUs), phantom stock and bonus stock to employees and directors. The primary purpose of the 2004 Plan is to enhance our ability to attract, motivate, and retain the services of qualified employees, officers and directors. Any stock options under the 2004 Plan will have a term of not more than 10 years and the vesting of the awards will be at the discretion of the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors but is not expected to exceed four years. We treat equity awards with multiple vesting tranches as a single award for expense attribution purposes and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. As of February 28, 2021, there were 854,578 award units in the 2004 Plan that were available for grant.

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for valuation of stock option awards. Calculating the fair value of stock option awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. Other reasonable assumptions could provide differing results. The fair value of stock options at the grant date was determined using the following assumptions:

No options were granted in fiscal year 2021. For the years ended February 29/28, 2020 and 2019, the expected life of options was determined using historical experience of our stock option grants and forfeiture activities. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasuries with terms which approximate the expected life of the stock options.

Changes in our outstanding restricted stock shares, PSUs and RSUs for the fiscal years ended February 28/29, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (shares in thousands):
