Equity Incentive Plans
The Company’s shareholders have approved various equity incentive plans, including the 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”) and the 2014 Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan (“2014 Director Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”). All awards issued under the Plans are issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Employees are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares, RSUs, and other awards under the 2014 LTIP. The 2014 LTIP was amended on October 23, 2025, increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 LTIP by 1,650,000 shares. Following the amendment, the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 LTIP is 7,157,650, and at March 31, 2026, 1,328,128 shares are available for grant.
On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new long-term incentive plan (the “LTI Plan”) under the 2014 LTIP. The LTI Plan is designed to align compensation of designated senior officers of the Company with Company performance and shareholder interests over the long-term. Awards under the LTI Plan are made in the form of performance restricted share units (a “PRSU”) and service based restricted share units (RSUs).
Each PRSU represents a contingent right to receive one Company share of common stock based upon the level of achievement of certain performance metrics during specified three-year fiscal performance periods, with payout for achievement of threshold, target and maximum performance levels set at 50%, 100% and 200% of the target number of PRSUs, respectively. Initial PRSU awards are granted at the 100% target performance level. The Company projects the level of achievement for each award during the relevant performance period and periodically adjusts the number of outstanding awards to reflect the number of awards expected to vest.
Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares, RSUs, and other awards under the 2014 Director Plan. The 2014 Director Plan was amended on October 23, 2025, increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 LTIP by 225,000 shares. Following the amendment, the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Director Plan is 475,000, and at March 31, 2026, 176,273 shares are available for grant.
Generally, awards issued under the 2014 LTIP and 2014 Director Plan vest immediately in the event that an award recipient is terminated without Cause (as defined in the applicable plans), and in the case of the 2014 LTIP for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable plans), at any time following a Change in Control (as defined in the applicable plans).

Outstanding RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three year vesting period. RSUs granted to non-employee directors generally have a one year vesting period. The holders of RSUs are entitled to dividend equivalents. The dividend equivalents are settled in cash at the same time that the underlying RSUs vest and are subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the underlying shares. The fair value of the RSUs granted is generally based on the market price of the underlying shares at the date of grant. The RSUs granted in 2026 and 2025 include 372,873 and 620,108 PRSU awards, respectively. Initial PRSU awards are granted at the 100% target performance level. The Company projects the level of achievement for each award during the performance period and periodically adjusts the number of outstanding awards to reflect the number of awards expected to vest.
