February 9, 2012, the Compensation & Long-Term Incentive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved stock option grants under the Company’s 2011 Plan. A total of 36,740 options, with a market price of $11.35 per share, were granted under the Plan to certain management employees of the Company. The stock options will vest in 20 percent increments annually on a cumulative basis, beginning one year after the date of grant. In order for the options to vest, the employee must be in the continuous employment of the Company since the date of the grant. Any portion of the grant that has not vested will be forfeited upon termination of employment. The Company may terminate any portion of the grant that has not vested upon an employee’s failure to comply with all conditions of the award or the Plan. Shares representing grants that have not yet vested will be held in escrow by the Company. An employee will not be entitled to any voting rights with respect to any shares not yet vested, and the shares are not transferable. Compensation expense totaling $185,000 will be recorded against earnings equally over the following 60 months from the date of grant with the offset recorded in Shareholders’ Equity.
