Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has
two
shareholder–approved stock-based compensation plans. The
2006
Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in
2006
(
“2006
Plan”) and had options granted under it through
April 12, 2016.
On
June 1, 2016,
the shareholders ratified the IAI
2016
Stock Incentive Plan (
“2016
Plan”), which had been approved by the Board of Directors on
April 4, 2016.
 
The Company recognizes compensation costs only for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Such options generally vest over periods of
six
months to
two
years. Fair values of option awards granted in the
three
months and
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019,
were estimated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:
