The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 450,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has purchased 360,615 shares and there remains 89,385 shares available to purchase under this program. There were no shares purchased by the Company during the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

On January 1, 2021, 25,250 shares of restricted stock vested of which 9,920 shares were withheld by the Company for approximately $81,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the applicable equity plan.

The Company’s director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted stock under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These shares vest quarterly over a twelve month service period, have voting rights and accrue dividends that are paid upon vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on the grant date fair value, will be recognized over the requisite service period. An aggregate of 13,160 restricted shares were issued on May 14, 2021 with a grant date fair value of $100,000.

Included in three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is approximately $25,000 and $31,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share that were outstanding for the period. Incremental shares from assumed conversions are calculated as the number of shares that would be issued, net of the number of shares that could be purchased in the marketplace with the cash received upon stock option exercise. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method.
