Stock-Based Compensation

NOTE 7 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

For the six months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $16.4 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense.

The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2018 and includes 2.0 million shares available for grant, of which approximately 1.7 million shares remain available for future grant at July 31, 2019. The Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") or is required under local law. Awards under the plan are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one year and three years from the date of grant. The Company’s policy is to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, to satisfy its obligation to issue shares upon the exercise of awards.
