Note 13:  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 approximately $49,000 during each of the three months ended    March 31, 2026 and 2025, and approximately $100,000 during each of the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, related to stock option awards and restricted stock 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.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards.
