Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 IPO Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which governs the issuance of equity awards to employees, certain non-employee consultants, and directors. Initially, the Company reserved 900 thousand shares for issuance under the Plan with an initial sublimit for incentive stock options of 900 thousand shares. On an annual basis, the amount of shares available for issuance under the Plan increases by an amount equal to four percent of the total outstanding shares as of the last day of the preceding calendar year. The sublimit of incentive stock options is not subject to the increase. The Company has historically granted stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs” and with RSUs commonly referred to collectively as “restricted stock units”) to certain employees.
Shares remaining available for grant under the Plan were 2.0 million as of March 31, 2025.
