Stock-Based Compensation |
6. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has one active stock-based compensation plan: the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The initial share reserve under the 2016 Plan was 5,725,538 shares of common stock. A grant of a stock option award or stock appreciation right will reduce the outstanding reserve on a one-for-one basis, meaning one share for every share granted. A grant of a full-value award, including, but not limited to, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock, will reduce the outstanding reserve by a fixed ratio of 1.9 shares for every share granted. The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to increase the share reserve by 2,800,000 shares on August 8, 2019 and by an additional 1,740,000 shares on August 12, 2020. At July 31, 2021, the Company had 22,901 shares available under the 2016 Plan. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, on August 5, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to increase the share reserve by 4,855,000 shares. In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan, any shares outstanding under the previous 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) at August 4, 2016 that subsequently terminate, expire or are cancelled for any reason without having been exercised or paid are added back and become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, with stock options being added back on a one-for-one basis and full-value awards being added back on a 1 to 1.9 basis. At July 31, 2021, 412,826 stock options remained outstanding under the 2006 Plan. The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make all determinations with respect to amounts and conditions covering awards. Options are not granted at a price less than fair value on the date of the grant. Except with respect to 5% of the shares available for awards under the 2016 Plan, no award will become exercisable unless such award has been outstanding for a minimum period of one year from its date of grant. The following tables summarize the share activity and stock option activity for the first six months of fiscal 2021:
For the first six months of fiscal 2021, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,518,154 shares of common stock and 8,054 restricted stock units. For the first six months of fiscal 2020, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,185,542 shares of common stock and 45,714 shares of deferred stock. Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan The Company granted 206,923 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $218,369, to certain of its non-employee directors as compensation in lieu of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2021. Stock Compensation Expense The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The total compensation cost related to time-vested stock options, RSU and PSU awards not yet recognized as of July 31, 2021 was approximately $2.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 29 months. |
