NOTE 10 - COMPENSATION PLANS

 

In May 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 SIP”) under which employees, independent contractors, and non-employee directors may be granted stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock awards, and stock appreciation rights, any of which may or may not require the satisfaction of performance objectives. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company reserved 750,000 shares for issuance under the 2017 SIP, of which approximately 100,000 shares remain available for future grants as of April 1, 2023.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company grants performance-based and retention-based restricted stock units to senior employees. The vesting of the performance-based awards is dependent on the achievement of corporate objectives established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and a three-year vesting period. The retention-based awards are subject only to the three-year vesting period. There were no restricted stock units issued during the three months ended April 1, 2023.

 

Compensation costs related to all outstanding restricted stock units recognized in the statements of income aggregated $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively.
