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. There were
no
options granted in the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019.
Fair values of option awards granted would have been estimated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model.
 
2016
Stock Incentive Plan
 
The
2016
Plan became effective
June 1, 2016,
and expires
April 4, 2026.
The
2016
Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. The maximum number of shares for which equity awards
may
be granted under the
2016
Plan is
1,000,000.
Options under the
2016
Plan expire
no
later than
ten
years from the date of grant or when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The minimum exercise price of each option is the quoted market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. At
March 31, 2020,
there were unexpired options for
371,000
shares issued under the
2016
Plan, of which
352,500
were exercisable.
 
2006
Stock Incentive Plan
 
The
2006
Plan became effective
May 18, 2006,
and expired
April 12, 2016.
The
2006
Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. Options under the
2006
Plan were generally granted at-the-money or above, expire
no
later than
ten
years from the date of grant or within
three
months of when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The number of shares subject to options available for issuance under the
2006
Plan could
not
exceed
1,950,000.
There were
849,000
unexpired options remaining from the
2006
Plan at
March 31, 2020,
all of which were exercisable.
