Share-based Compensation

10. Share-based Compensation

We may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and restricted share units under our shareholder-approved 2016 Stock Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan") for up to 2.0 million common shares, plus 957,575 common shares, the number of shares that were remaining for grant under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan ("2011 Plan") as of the effective date of the 2016 Plan, plus the number of shares remaining for grant under the 2011 Plan that are forfeited, settled in cash, canceled or expired. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted under the 2016 Plan is 1.25 million.

We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and appreciation right exercises or restricted share and performance share awards.

We record compensation expense related to stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and SSARs awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of our common shares. During fiscal year 2020, we issued 125,000 SSAR awards which are subject to a market condition. The fair value of these awards is estimated using the Lattice

option pricing model which utilizes a binary tree and includes multiple assumptions which include volatility and life of the award to determine an appropriate fair value based on the award grant date.

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for SSARs, restricted and performance awards included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights

SSARs are rights granted to an employee to receive value equal to the difference in the price of our common shares on the date of the grant and on the date of exercise. This value is settled in common shares of Agilysys, Inc.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted shares is determined based upon the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. As of September 30, 2020, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock was $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.4 years.

Performance Shares

We awarded certain restricted shares to our Chief Executive Officer, the vesting of which is performance based. The number of shares that vested were based on relative attainment of a performance metric and any unvested shares were forfeited upon settlement of the bonus.
