EMPLOYEE AND NON-EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS | EMPLOYEE AND NON-EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS Air T, Inc. maintains two stock option plans for the benefit of certain eligible employees and directors. The first Air T stock option plan is the 2012 Stock Option Plan. The second Air T stock option plan is the 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for stock options which are expected to vest based on their grant-date fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted under the Air T, Inc. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. Air T's 2012 Stock Option Plan Air T, Inc.’s 2012 Stock Option Plan terminated in 2022. The last of the activity under this plan occurred during the year ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 no unrecognized compensation expense related to the Air T's 2012 stock options and no stock-based compensation expense with respect to this plan was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2024. No unexpired options remained outstanding under this plan as of March 31, 2024. There was no activity related to this plan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The final outstanding options after termination of this plan in 2022 were exercised or forfeited during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as summarized in the table below (in thousands, except for shares):
Air T's 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan On December 29, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was subsequently approved by the Company's stockholders at the August 18, 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The total number of shares authorized under the Plan is 420,000. Through March 31, 2025, options to purchase up to 348,050 shares have been granted under the Plan. The options vest annually over a period of ten years based on a specified service condition ("vested awards") and expire ten years after vesting. However, the ability to exercise vested awards, occurring at the conclusion of each annual vesting period, is contingent upon the Company's stock price meeting predetermined milestones outlined in the options agreements (the "market condition"). If the market condition is not fulfilled at the annual vesting period on June 30 of every year, the vested awards may not be exercisable at any subsequent point and are forfeited. On the preceding vesting dates, June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, a total of 97,000 shares satisfied the service condition; however, they did not meet the market condition to become exercisable. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, 26,000 unvested shares and no unvested shares, respectively, were forfeited due to employee departures resulting in the reversal of previously recognized expense of $54.0 thousand for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025 there were 226,000 granted options that may become exercisable on future vesting dates under the Plan. No options were exercisable as of March 31, 2025. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted under the Air T's 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and determined the grant date's fair value was $1.3 million. The key assumptions used in the Plan's Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:
We do not anticipate significant forfeitures and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. During fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total compensation cost recognized under the Plan for each year was $0.1 million. The unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards is $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6.25 years.
