Share capital, stock options and other stock-based plans
12. Share capital, stock options and other stock-based plans:

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 20,521 common shares, net of cancellations, upon exercises of share units (three months ended March 31, 2025 – 43,798 common shares). The Company issues shares from treasury to satisfy share unit exercises.
(a)    Share Units (“Units”):

The value assigned to issued Units and the amounts accrued are recorded as other equity instruments. As Units are exercised or vest and the underlying shares are issued from treasury of the Company, the value is reclassified to share capital.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $168, (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $285) of stock-based compensation associated with the Westport Omnibus Plan. The Westport Omnibus Plan aims to advance the Company's interests by encouraging employees, consultants and non-employee directors to receive equity-based compensation and incentives. The plan outlines the stock-based options types, eligibility and vesting terms.

A continuity of the Units issued under the Westport Omnibus Plan are as follows:

12. Share capital, stock options and other stock-based plans (continued):

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, nil share units were granted to certain employees and directors (three months ended March 31, 2025 - nil).

Values of PSUs are determined using the Monte–Carlo Simulation Model. RSUs typically vest over a three-year period so the actual value received by the individual depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for common shares, not the date of grant. Vesting of DSUs shall occur immediately prior to the resignation, retirement or termination of directorship, in accordance with the terms of Westport's Omnibus Plan.

As at March 31, 2026, $595 of compensation expense related to Units awarded has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be recognized ratably over 1.5 years.
