Shareholders approved an amendment to the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, increasing the pool of shares available for equity awards by 395,000. This authorization represents a notable potential dilution of approximately 2.05% for existing shareholders if all these shares are issued. While common for employee retention and motivation, this expansion of the share pool, especially with the stock trading near its 52-week high, means future compensation will come at a higher dilutive cost.
