Note 20: Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan”) provides for the grant of various forms of stock-based compensation awards that may be settled in, or based upon the value of, the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is 120,000 shares. The restricted stock has voting rights and rights to dividends, which are paid upon the vest date. For further information on the Plan, refer to the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023 and the Company’s S-8 filed with the SEC on June 7, 2023.

Restricted Stock Awards and Units

Under the Plan, restricted stock awards ("RSAs") with a one-year vesting period were granted to non-employee directors as part of the 2024 and 2025 semi-annual retainer. In February 2025, the Company awarded 4,545 shares of restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a three year vesting period to employees designated in the incentive compensation plan. The RSAs and RSUs were valued at the closing stock price on the grant date.
