The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expenses ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

[B] Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units:

The Company has granted from time to time restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees under its equity incentive plans.

Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. RSUs are generally subject to service-based vesting conditions and vest in equal installments over a three-year period, provided the recipient remains employed by, or continues to provide service to, the Company through each applicable vesting date.

PSUs represent the right to receive a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting, subject to the achievement of specified performance criteria and continued service requirements.

The stock awards are unvested at the time of grant, and, upon vesting, there are no legal restrictions on the stock. Some participants have the option to have their shares withheld for their taxes upon vesting. Shares withheld for taxes are treated as a purchase of treasury stock. The fair value of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 373 restricted shares of common stock to the Company’s senior management team, which vest in equal installments over a three-year period, provided that they remain employed by the Company on each scheduled vesting date.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 1,475 restricted shares of common stock to the Company’s executive officers and senior management team, which vest in full if specified performance targets are achieved and provided that they remain employed by the Company on the scheduled vesting date.
