Stock Options
The Company has granted non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees under the Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The fair values of these options were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which required estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2026, generally vested over a period of 3 years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options is $66.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history on the date of grant, the expected term was calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponded to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. The dividend yield was computed as the annualized dividend
rate at the grant date divided by the strike price of the stock option. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not grant stock options.

As of September 30, 2026, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for both the outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options was 1.4 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0. There was no unrecognized compensation on the awards for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. There were no stock options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company received no cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Restricted Stock
The Company has granted restricted stock under the 2012 Plan to employees and non-employee directors generally with vesting terms up to 3 years after the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Expense for restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period.

The Company withheld approximately 77 thousand shares and 27 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $2.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Market and Performance-based Share Awards
The Company has granted market and performance-based share awards in 2023, and 2025, and performance-based share awards in 2024 and 2026 under the 2012 Plan to certain key executives who were granted deferred shares and may earn between 0% and 210% of the target number depending upon both the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), for those with market conditions, and the Company’s performance against predetermined performance goals over a three-year performance period after the date of grant. Market and performance-based share awards that are tied to the Company’s TSR are valued using the Monte Carlo method and are recognized ratably as expense over the award’s performance period. The fair
value of the performance-based share awards is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant adjusted by the expected level of achievement over the performance period. Expense for performance-based share awards is amortized ratably over the performance period. In the event that management determines that the Company will not reach the lower threshold of the predetermined performance goals established in the grant agreement, any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which such a determination is made.

The total fair value of market and performance-based share awards issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $0.2 million. The Company withheld approximately 8 thousand shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the issuance of shares of market and performance-based share awards. No market and performance-based share awards were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as a result of the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2022 not reaching the lower threshold of the predetermined performance goals.
Share-based compensation expense is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The total expense during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):
