STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 13 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

We grant equity compensation awards to directors, employees, and contractors under the 2021 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. We have granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options with service-based vesting conditions with vesting typically occurring over a 3-year period.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The following table summarizes the activity of our RSUs granted under our Equity Incentive Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2025:

 

   Number of RSUs 
Outstanding RSUs at September 30, 2024   11,148,270 
Granted   11,487,706 
Vested   (6,398,717)
Canceled/Forfeited   (708,519)
Outstanding RSUs at June, 2025   15,528,740 

 

On December 20, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized awarding 1.1 million RSUs to each of the three independent directors vesting over three years beginning on March 1, 2025, and ending on March 1, 2027. On March 3, 2025, we granted 7,937,706 RSUs to officers and employees. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we awarded 250,000 RSUs to new employees vesting over three years beginning on March 1, 2026 and ending on March 1, 2028. The average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, was $0.04. The Company recognizes compensation cost for unvested share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

 

Our total stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, was $306 thousand for the amortization of outstanding equity compensation grants. Stock-based compensation of $262 thousand is included in general and administrative expense, $11 thousand in selling and marketing expense, and $33 thousand in research and development expense.

 

 

The unamortized stock compensation expense at June 30, 2025, is $622 thousand, and the remaining weighted average term to vesting is 2.1 years.
