Share-Based Compensation

7. Share-Based Compensation

 

In April 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). There were 120,302 shares available for issuance under the Plan as of June 30, 2025. The Plan increases the amount of shares issuable under the Plan by four percent of the outstanding shares of common stock at each January 1, each year. The Plan permits the granting of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and awards, stock appreciation rights and other types of awards as deemed appropriate, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The terms of the awards are determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Restricted stock units and awards

 

On January 1, 2024, 9,175 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 7,977 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) were granted, 100% of which vested on January 1, 2025. Any unvested RSUs or RSAs will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU or RSA is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSU and RSA expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period.

 

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs and RSAs in its accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as follows:

RSU and RSA expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period.

 

In March of 2021, an additional 19 RSUs were granted, 50% of which vested on March 25, 2022 and the remaining 50% vested on March 25, 2023. In December of 2021, 259 RSUs were granted, 100% of which vested on January 1, 2023. In December of 2022, 976 RSUs were granted, 100% of which vested on January 1, 2024.

 

In January 2023, 688 of the RSUs granted in December 2022 were cancelled and subsequently reissued as restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (“Restricted Stock Awards” or “RSAs”). The RSAs have the same vesting conditions as the original RSUs issued in December 2022. The Company accounted for this as a stock compensation modification resulting in $38,837 of incremental expense which was recognized over the remaining vesting period.

 

Any unvested RSUs or RSAs will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU or RSA is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSU and RSA expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period.
