NOTE 15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

On May 29, 2025, at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved the Clarus Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2015 Plan”), which had previously been adopted by the Board of Directors on April 16, 2025, subject to such approval. The Amended and Restated 2015 Plan amends and restates the Clarus Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), originally approved by stockholders on December 11, 2015. Upon stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan, the 2015 Plan was terminated, and no further awards will be granted under it. Any remaining shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan were canceled. However, 4,232 shares subject to outstanding awards previously granted under the 2015 Plan will remain available for issuance pursuant to their existing terms.

Under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock unit awards. Unless earlier terminated as provided therein, the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan will terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date of the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan.

Options Granted:

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued stock option awards for an aggregate of 630 shares of Common Stock under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan and the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. Of the 630 stock options, 500 stock options shall vest and become exercisable one year from the date of the grant, 50 stock

options shall vest and become exercisable over a period of three years from the date of the grant, and 80 stock options shall vest and become exercisable in four equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant. All of the issued stock options expire ten years from the date of the grant.  

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Options Granted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Number of options

630

Option vesting period

1 - 3 Years

Grant price (per share)

$3.21 - $4.02

Dividend yield

2.49% - 3.12%

Expected volatility (a)

50.6% - 53.2%

Risk-free interest rate

4.01% - 4.17%

Expected life (years) (b)

5.50 - 6.69

Weighted average fair value (per share)

$1.32 - $1.74

(a)Expected volatility is based upon the Company’s historical volatility.

(b)The expected term was determined based upon the underlying terms of the awards and the category and employment history of employee award recipient.

The grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,046, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not issue any restricted stock unit awards under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan and the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense for continuing operations related to grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock unit awards recorded by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1,555 and $1,528, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3,024 and $2,706, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of June 30, 2025, there were 1,073 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $1,815 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,050 unvested restricted stock unit awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $2,549 related to unvested restricted stock unit awards.
