2015 Equity Incentive Plan



Stock Options



On February 25, 2020, the Company issued options to purchase 344,568 of the
Company's shares of common stock to certain individuals with an exercise price
of $7.06 per share. One third of the options become exercisable on each of the
first three anniversaries of February 25, 2020, with accelerated vesting that
may occur following a change in control of the Company, and all unexercised
options expire on the sixth anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of
each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein
pricing formula, resulting in a value of $2.01 per share, or $693 in the
aggregate. The assumptions used in the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein option pricing
formula are as follows: volatility of 53.91% (representing the Company's
historical volatility), a risk-free interest rate of 1.41%, a dividend yield of
7.13%, and expected life of 4 years (determined using the simplified method as
outlined in SAB Topic 14 due to lack of historical exercise data).

Restricted Stock Units



The Company has issued restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2015 Plan to
certain members of the Board of Directors and certain executives and employees
of the Company, which represent the right to receive a share of common stock, or
in the sole discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee, the value of a
share of common stock on the date that the RSU vests. As of September 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019, 373,588 and 326,247 shares of the Company's common stock
were outstanding in respect of the RSUs, respectively. Such shares of common
stock will only be issued in respect of vested RSUs issued to directors when the
director's service with the Company as a director terminates. Such shares of
common stock will only be issued to executives and employees when their RSUs
vest under the terms of their grant agreements and the amended 2015 Plan
described above.

The RSUs that have been issued to certain members of the Board of Directors
generally vest on the date of the annual shareholders meeting of the Company
following the date of the grant. In lieu of cash dividends issued for vested and
nonvested shares held by certain members of the Board of Directors, the Company
will grant additional vested and nonvested RSUs, respectively, which are
calculated by dividing the amount of the dividend by the closing price per share
of the Company's common stock on the dividend payment date and will have the
same terms as other RSUs issued to members of the Board of Directors. The RSUs
that have been issued to other individuals vest ratably on each of the three
anniversaries of the determined vesting date. The table below summarizes the
Company's unvested RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
