Also, as a part of a 2017 agreement for the acquisition of Merrill Cable Company, another 23,000 shares (already adjusted for the stock dividend) are to be issued to former Merrill shareholders on December 31, 2019, if Merrill’s 2019 net income is at least $500,000. In 2018, Merrill’s net income was $630,000.

As part of an incentive compensation plan, Dow granted incentive stock options to division managers at December 31 of the current and each of the previous two years.

Information concerning the number of options granted and common share prices follows:

Date Granted	Options Granted	Share Price
	(adjusted for the stock dividend)

December 31, 2017	3,000	$33
December 31, 2018	6,500	$32

The market price of the common stock averaged $32 per share during 2018.
