The other big change came in option awards of just under $2.6 million, an increase of 25 percent from $2.1 million the prior year. The total was dented by a decline in Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, which fell from slightly less than $2 million in 2015, down 18.8 percent, to $1.6 million this year.
