Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has
two
shareholder–approved stock-based compensation plans. The
2006
Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in
2006
(
“2006
Plan”) and had options granted under it through
April 12, 2016.
On
June 1, 2016,
the shareholders ratified the IAI
2016
Stock Incentive Plan (
“2016
Plan”), which had been approved by the Board of Directors on
April 4, 2016.
 
The Company recognizes compensation costs only for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Such options generally vest over periods of
nine
months to
two
years. Fair values of option awards granted in the
three
months and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018,
were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

2016
Stock Incentive Plan
 
The
2016
Plan became effective
June 1, 2016,
and expires

Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. The maximum number of shares for which equity awards
may
be granted under the
2016
Plan is

Options under the
2016
Plan expire
no
later than
ten
years from the date of grant or when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The minimum exercise price of each option is the quoted market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. At
September 30, 2019,
there were unexpired options for
371,000
shares issued under the
2016
Plan, of which
343,500
were exercisable.

2006
Plan were generally granted at-the-money or above, expire

months of when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The number of shares subject to options available for issuance under the
