| SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION In August 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Upon adoption, the LTIP replaced all pre-existing plans. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the LTIP are (a) 1,640,000 shares minus (b) one share for each share issued under awards granted under pre-existing plans on or after June 1, 2021, through the adoption date of the LTIP, and plus (c) the number of shares subject to awards under pre-existing plans that are forfeited or expire and become available for issuance under the terms of the LTIP. The LTIP allows for awards to be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, other share-based awards (payable in cash or common stock) or performance awards, or any combination thereof, and may be made to outside directors, employees or consultants. Shares underlying awards that expire, terminate, are cancelled, or forfeited to the Company, or are settled in cash may be reused for subsequent awards. As of December 31, 2023, 823,882 shares remained available to grant under the LTIP.
Restricted Stock — During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the number of shares and the weighted average grant price of restricted stock transactions were as follows:
The aggregate intrinsic value of the awards that vested and were released during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $11.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $18.1 million in total unrecognized compensation costs associated with these awards, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 1.8 years.
Stock Options — During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the number of stock options transactions and the weighted average grant price of stock options were as follows:
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs associated with stock options. The weighted average remaining contractual term on the outstanding stock options is 5.8 years. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average exercise price of the vested and exercisable stock options was $20.34 and had an aggregate intrinsic value of $3.8 million. The Company did not grant any stock options during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and twelve months ended March 31, 2022.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of its stock options and these stock options either vest on a cliff-basis after three years or in equal parts over four years, depending on the award agreement terms.
The Company grants non-performance based restricted stock units that vest over a three year period and Cash Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) awards at grant date fair values derived using the Company’s closing stock price on the day the awards are granted and also vest over a three year period. The grant date fair values on performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and Total Stock Return (“TSR”) awards are determined under a Monte Carlo Simulation in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric Brownian Motion and will vest on a cliff-basis, after three years, subject to certain stock price performance targets.
