Note 11: Stock-Based Compensation

Our 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, performance stock, performance units, restricted ordinary shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, tandem stock appreciation rights and unrestricted ordinary shares to our directors, officer, employees, consultants and advisors. The Company has reserved up to 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

From time to time, the Company grants stock options to directors, officers, and employees. These awards are valued at the grant date by determining the fair value of the instruments. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $18,791 and $17,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to stock option awards granted to certain employees and officers based on the grant date fair value of the awards, and the revaluation for existing options whereby the expiration date was extended.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $18,792 of unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock option awards which the Company expects to recognize as compensation expense through March 2022.
