Note 10 - Stock Based Compensation
The Bancorp’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was adopted by the Bancorp’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2015 and approved by the Bancorp’s shareholders on April 24, 2015, permits the grant of equity awards for up to 250,000 shares of common stock. Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, performance shares, or performance units.
As required by the Stock Compensation Topic, companies are required to record compensation cost for stock options and awards provided to employees in return for employment service. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, stock based compensation expense of $104 thousand was recorded, compared to $90 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. It is anticipated that current outstanding unvested awards will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $489 thousand through 2021 with $100 thousand in 2018, $184 thousand in 2019, $150 thousand in 2020 and $55 thousand in 2021.
There were no incentive stock options granted during the first six months of 2018 or 2017. When options are granted, the cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options or awards. At June 30, 2018, there were no outstanding incentive stock options.
There were 4,433 shares of restricted stock granted during the first six months of 2018 compared to 4,575 shares granted during the first six months of 2017. Restricted stock awards are issued with an award price equal to the market price of the Bancorp’s common stock on the award date and vest between three and five years after the grant date. Forfeiture provisions exist for personnel that separate employment before the vesting period expires. A summary of restricted stock activity under the Bancorp’s incentive stock option and incentive plans described above for the year ended December 31, 2017 and six months ended June 30, 2018 follows:
