NOTE 10EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

The 2019 Omnibus Award Plan (“2019 Omnibus Plan”) authorizes for issuance up to 2,350,000 shares. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means to attract and retain key personnel and to align the interests of the directors, officers, and employees with the Company’s shareholders. The plan also provides a vehicle whereby directors and officers may acquire shares in order to meet the ownership requirements under the Company’s Stock Ownership Policy. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and other awards. While RSU grants are time-based, PSU grants offer participants the opportunity to acquire shares over a three-year performance measurement period tied to specific company performance metrics. As of March 31, 2024, 1,944,773 shares remain available for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan.

 

In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company granted 175,251 PSUs and 116,834 RSUs, both with a weighted average market value of $12.76. Stock compensation expense was $0.9 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company granted 30,000 inducement stock options, with a weighted average fair market value of $14.41. Stock compensation expense was $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

In November of 2021, our board of directors approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees may participate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees may end their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the company. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, employees purchased 11,000 shares. At March 31, 2024, 245,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.
