NOTE 11 - Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company’s results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include $320,000 and $89,000, respectively, related to stock based compensation expense. The Company’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include $650,000 and $203,000, respectively related to stock based compensation expenses. Such amounts have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) within general and administrative expenses in operating expenses. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

 

Incentive Compensation Plan

 

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”), which provides for the grant of equity-based and cash incentives, including restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance unit awards, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and cash awards, including dividend equivalent rights to employees, officers, directors or other service providers of the Company who are expected to contribute to the Company’s future growth and success. The 2021 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of awards relating to 1.5 million shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2022, there are 423,750 shares available for grant under the 2021 Incentive Plan.

 

All service-based (time vesting) options granted have ten-year terms from the date of grant and typically vest annually and become fully exercisable after a maximum of five years. However, vesting conditions are determined on a grant by grant basis.

 

On January 6, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the grant of restricted common stock awards to named executive officers Tim Whelan, Mike Kandell, Dan Monopoli and Alfred Rodriguez of 125,000, 75,000, 50,000 and 50,000 shares respectively which vest in equal annual installments over two years. If an executive’s service with the Company terminates before the restricted awards are fully vested, then the shares that are not then fully vested are forfeited and immediately returned to the Company. The grant date value per share was $2.11.

 

An employee grant of 20,000 shares was issued on June 16, 2022, with a grant date per share value of $1.28. The grant vests in equal installments over two years.
