On February 23, 2018, the Company sold to certain employees a total of 126,000 restricted shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.04 per share. The Company recorded proceeds of $5,000 from the sale of these restricted shares, which were issued from treasury shares. The Company recorded a reduction to additional paid-in capital of approximately $0.5 million representing the cost of treasury shares issued in excess of the purchase price paid by the employees.
Half of the shares vested immediately on February 23, 2018, and the remaining half of the shares vested on July 1, 2018, upon the respective employees' continuous employment through the vesting date. The grant date fair value of the shares was estimated to be $7.78 per share.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded compensation expense in connection with these grants in the amount of $1.0 million, which is reflected as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

2010 Non-Plan Stock Option Agreement
In June 2018, certain employees of the Company exercised options to purchase 768,984 shares of Class B common stock at an exercise price of $5.70 per share. These options were granted in 2010 pursuant to a non-plan option agreement and were classified as equity awards. These shares were issued from treasury shares at an average cost of approximately $3.64 per share. The transaction was executed as a cashless exercise through which the Company concurrently repurchased from the option holders the number of shares of Class B common stock required to fund the exercise price for all options and meet statutory federal, state and payroll tax withholding requirements applicable to the employees associated with their exercises. The Company purchased a total of 521,902 shares of Class B common stock, at the $13.17 per share closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of exercise, resulting in a net increase of 247,082 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Of the aggregate repurchase price, the Company retained $4.4 million which was recorded to additional paid-in capital reflecting the total exercise price, and withheld $2.5 million which was submitted to taxing authorities for employees’ payroll tax obligations.
