- 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
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
stock based compensation expense of
$94
thousand was recorded, compared to
$71
thousand for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019.
It is anticipated that current outstanding unvested awards will result in additional compensation expense of approximately
$902
thousand through
2023
with an additional
$322
thousand in
2020,
$339
thousand in
2021,
$209
thousand in
2022,
and
$32
thousand in
2023.
 
There were
no
incentive stock options granted during the
first
three
months of
2020
or
2019.
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
March 31, 2020,
there were
no
outstanding incentive stock options.
 
There were
13,243
shares of restricted stock granted during the
first
three
months of
2020
compared to
7,407
shares granted during the
first
three
months of
2019.
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 Plan described above for the year ended
December 31, 2019,
and
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
