The related compensation expense of $450,000 will be recognized over three years as the shares vest. During January 2026, 8,812 shares of restricted stock with a per share price of $14.60 were granted to management. The related compensation expense of $129,000 will be recognized over three years as the shares vest. In November 2025 and January 2026, the Company entered into Performance Share-Based Award Agreements with members of management whereby the employees may be granted up to a maximum of 85,394 shares of common stock in the future based on the achievement of certain long-term performance goals over a three-year period.
