STOCK COMPENSATION STOCK COMPENSATION
The Company has issued grants under two equity incentive plans, both of which have been approved by the Company’s shareholders: (i) the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”), pursuant to which a total of 4,438 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been approved for issuance, and (ii) the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which a total of 3,472 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been approved for issuance. Upon approval of the 2021 Plan in September 2021, any shares remaining available for issuance under the 2014 Plan were cancelled, and all future grants were issued under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan allows for issuance of shares of our Class A common stock, whether through restricted stock, restricted stock units, options, stock appreciation rights or otherwise, to the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and consultants. Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the Company had issued 4,305 shares under the 2021 Plan such that the Company was over the authorized share number.
Stock Options
Under our Equity Incentive Plans, an employee may receive an award of stock option grants that provides the opportunity in the future to purchase the Company’s shares at the market price of our stock on the date the award is granted (strike price). The options become exercisable over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods and expire five years from the grant date, unless stated differently in the option agreements, if they are not exercised. We record compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the awards which is amortized as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period. Accordingly, total expense related to the award is reduced by the fair value of options that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior to vesting as they occur.
There was no stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, 22 stock options were outstanding and exercisable.

Restricted Stock Units
Under our Equity Incentive Plans, the Company may grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain employees, contractors, and non-employee directors. Upon granting the RSUs, the Company recognizes a fixed compensation expense equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of RSUs granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the RSUs. Compensation expense related to the RSUs is reduced by the fair value of units that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior to vesting as they occur. The RSUs vest over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods in accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU grant agreement.

Long-term incentive plan

On August 15, 2024, the Company granted a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) cash award pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to members of the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management. The amount of each award earned will depend on the performance of the Company relative to certain performance targets related to share price appreciation of the Company’s Class A common stock during the respective performance cycles. The LTIP awarded to the Company’s Board of Directors have a performance period ended on March 31, 2026, whereas the LTIP awarded to senior management have three consecutive 12-month performance periods ending June 30, 2025, June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The target payout under the LTIP awarded to the Board of Directors and senior management is $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. If the Company’s performance relative to the performance goal during the performance cycle is not equal to the performance target, the target Cash LTIP Award will be adjusted based on actual performance. Consequently, the actual payout under the LTIP awarded to the Board was $86 thousand for the performance period ended on March 31, 2026, due to the change in stock price. At no time during the performance cycle shall the payout be less than 1/3 or exceed 3 times the target cash LTIP Award, unless a change in control has occurred. Cash payments are subject to the Company’s compliance with all covenants contained in the Company’s credit facilities in effect at the conclusion of each performance cycle. $50 thousand of the LTIP payout in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was attributable to
executive departures. An additional $86 thousand of the LTIP payout in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was attributable to the LTIP awarded to the Board for the performance period ended March 31, 2026. As amounts earned for the awards are based on changes in the Company’s stock price, the Company will recognize a liability for compensation cost each reporting period based on the fair value as of each reporting date proportionally with the elapsed time at each reporting period. The liability is recognized in other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company used a Model Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value of the LTIP as of June 30, 2026 to be $101 thousand. Key inputs to the valuation of the awards include the stock price as of the award effective date and the valuation date, the discount rate, and historical volatility in the Company’s stock price.
