Stock-based Compensation Expense

17. Stock-based Compensation Expense

On January 28, 2021, the Company granted 108,333 shares in time vesting restricted stock awards and 69,167 shares in time and performance vesting restricted stock awards to officers, directors and key employees under the TSR, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The time vesting shares vest in tranches at the one, two and three-year anniversaries of the grants (“service condition”). These shares had a grant date fair value of $826,000 based on the closing price of TSR’s common stock on the day prior to the grants. The associated compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time between grant date and the date the shares vest (the “service period”). The time and performance vesting shares also vest in tranches at or after the two- and three-year anniversaries of the grants. The performance condition is defined in the grant agreements and relates to the market price of the Company’s common stock over a stated period of time (“market condition”). These shares had a grant date value of $262,000 based on the closing price of TSR common shares on the day prior to the grants discounted by an estimated forfeiture rate of 40-60%. The Company took into account the historical volatility of its common stock to assess the probability of satisfying the market condition. The associated compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis between the time the achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable and the time the shares may vest. The market condition for the shares that vest on the two-year anniversary was met in October 2021. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, $141,000 and $496,000, respectively, has been record as stock-based compensation expense and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of February 28, 2022, there is approximately $356,000 of unearned compensation expense that will be expensed through February 2024; 142,666 stock awards expected to vest; 56,666 awards vested to date, of which 14,780 were forfeited to pay taxes applicable to the stock awards.
