| 2017 AND 2021 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS (SIPs) | Note 14 – 2017 AND 2021 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS (SIPs)
On December 6, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on July 24, 2018. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers, employees and other eligible service providers through equity-based incentives. The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to shares of common stock.
On July 12, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is substantially identical to the 2017 Plan in all material respects, except that it authorizes the issuance of up to shares of common stock. The 2017 Plan and the 2021 Plan are referred to collectively as the “Stock Incentive Plans” or “SIPs.”
Shares issued under the SIPs may consist of either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee. To the extent treasury shares are utilized, references in the SIPs to the issuance of shares shall be deemed, for corporate law purposes, to refer to the transfer of shares from treasury.
During the three months ended July 31, 2026, the Company granted restricted stock awards and no stock options were exercised. During the period, previously vested restricted stock awards that had remained unsettled were settled. In addition, shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Plan.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, stock awards were granted and stock options were exercised. Restricted stock award settlements during the period resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock and the transfer of treasury shares. In addition, restricted stock awards were forfeited, and restricted stock awards vested but remained unsettled as of July 31, 2026.
As of July 31, 2026, an aggregate of shares of common stock remained available for future grants under the SIPs.
