STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plans

We have one long-term equity incentive plan which we refer to as the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015 and again on March 9, 2017 (the "Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan 14,000,000 shares of common stock. We can issue options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units and cash awards under the Restated Plan.

Options

Certain options granted under the Restated Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. Stock options generally vest over 3 to 5 years and expire 5 to 10 years from the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2019, we had outstanding options to acquire 481,451 shares of our common stock, of which options to acquire 129,290 shares were exercisable. The following summarizes all of our option transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2019:



Outstanding Options Under the 2006 Plan	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise price Per Common Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance,December 31, 2018	513,282		$	7.44
Granted	89,200		10.93
Exercised	(10,000	)	4.97
Canceled, forfeited or expired	(111,031	)	0.79
Balance, June 30, 2019	481,451		8.22		7.81	$	2,682,017
Exercisable at June 30, 2019	129,290		6.66		6.82	921,961

Aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on June 30, 2019 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options as applicable) that would have been received by the holder had all holders exercised their options on June 30, 2019. Options exercised amounted to 10,000 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested employee awards was $985,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSA’s”)

The Restated Plan permits the award of restricted stock awards (“RSA’s”). As of June 30, 2019, we have issued a total of 6,089,276 RSA’s of which 389,684 were unvested at June 30, 2019. The following summarizes all unvested RSA’s activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019:



	RSA's		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Weighted-Average Fair Value
RSA's unvested at December 31, 2018	277,504			$	9.77
Changes during the period
Granted	631,656			$	11.76
Vested	(517,976	)		$	9.66
Forfeited or Cancelled	(1,500	)		$	12.76
RSA's unvested at June 30, 2019	389,684		1.97	$	11.55

We determine the fair value of all RSA’s based on the closing price of our common stock on award date.

Other stock bonus awards

The Restated Plan also permits the award of stock bonuses not subject to any future service period. These awards are valued and expensed based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of award. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 awards totaling 1,600 shares were granted.

Plan summary

In summary, of the 14,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan, at June 30, 2019, we had issued 14,781,694 total shares between options, RSA’s and other stock awards. With options canceled and RSA’s forfeited amounting to 3,281,040 and 61,703 shares, respectively, there remain 2,561,049 shares available under the Restated Plan for future issuance.
