Stock-Based Compensation Plans | (6) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. Participation in FRP Plans The Company's directors, officers and key employees are eligible to participate in FRP's 2000 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Stock Option Plan under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers and key employees. All related compensation expense has been fully allocated to the Company (rather than FRP) and included in corporate expenses. Corporate expense also reflects an offsetting credit for the Transition Services Agreement allocation to FRP. Patriot Incentive Stock Plan In January, 2015 the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan. Grants were issued based upon all outstanding FRP options held by company directors, officers and key employees on January 30, 2015 with the same remaining terms. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 87,131 at March 31, 2017. Subsequent to Spin-off, the realized tax benefit pertaining to options exercised and the remaining compensation cost of options previously granted prior to the Spin-off will be recognized by FRP or Patriot based on the employment location of the related employee or director. In December 2016, the Company approved and issued a retirement incentive to an officer in the form of stock appreciation rights. The Company granted 80,000 stock appreciation rights. The market price was $23.13 on the date of grant and the executive will get a cash award at age 65 based upon the stock price at that date compared to the stock price at the date of grant but in no event will the award be less than $500,000. The Company plans to expense the fair value of the award over the 9.1 year vesting period to the officer’s attainment of age 65. In March 2017, in recognition of Thompson S. Baker II's outstanding service to FRP, the Board approved the vesting of all of Mr. Baker's outstanding FRP stock options, which will expire 90 days following the termination of his employment. The vesting of Mr. Baker’s outstanding FRP options that were issued prior to the spin-off required modification stock compensation expense of $150,000. FRP reimbursed Patriot for this cost under the transition services agreement. The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense for options in its consolidated statements of income (in thousands): Three Months ended Six months ended March 31, March 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Stock option grants $ 218 59 336 195 Annual director stock award 368 315 368 315 $ 586 374 704 510 A summary of Company stock options is presented below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Weighted Weighted Weighted Number Average Average Average of Exercise Remaining Grant Date Options Shares Price Term (yrs) Fair Value Outstanding at October 1, 2016 110,811 $ 22.52 6.2 $ 999 Granted 40,780 $ 21.25 $ 272 Outstanding at March 31, 2017 151,591 $ 22.18 6.8 $ 1,271 Exercisable at March 31, 2017 95,901 $ 21.83 5.5 $ 758 Vested during six months ended March 31, 2017 27,852 $ 210 The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable Company options was $177,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding in-the-money options was $220,000 based on the Company’s market closing price of $22.50 on March 31, 2017 less exercise prices. The realized tax benefit from Patriot option exercises during the first six months of fiscal 2017 was $460,000 which pertained to FRP options exercised that were granted prior to the Spin-off to persons employed by Patriot. The unrecognized compensation expense of Patriot options granted as of March 31, 2017 was $575,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years. |
