Equity Incentive Plans

 

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) awards of the Company’s common stock could be made to officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries. Following the adoption of the 2023 Plan, no further awards may be made under the 2009 Plan.

 

In May 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) to replace the 2009 Plan. Under the 2023 Plan, awards of the Company’s common stock may be made to officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2023 Plan was amended in 2024 to increase the number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable under the plan to 1.4 million shares. The 2023 Plan expires on February 23, 2033. Permitted awards under the 2023 Plan include options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and other cash and stock-based awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs using a graded vesting attribution method whereby costs are recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Restricted Stock Units

 

The 2009 Plan permitted the Company to issue Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which entitle each recipient to receive one unrestricted share of common stock upon termination of the recipient’s employment or board service. Also,

 

pursuant to the 2009 Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation and Equity Award Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan, non-employee directors received a portion of their compensation in the form of RSUs issued under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan RSUs generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant.

 

The 2023 Plan permits the Company to issue RSUs, which entitle each recipient to receive one unrestricted share of common stock upon termination of the recipient’s employment or board service. Under the 2023 Plan, one-half of the shares vest equally on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.

 

The following table summarizes the status and activity of the Company’s RSUs at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes during the years then ended:

All outstanding warrants are recorded in equity at December 31, 2025 and 2024 following the guidance established by ASC 815-40 “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company’s warrants allow for the potential settlement in cash if certain extraordinary events are effected by the Company, including a 50% or greater change of control in the Company’s common stock. Since those events have been deemed to be within the Company’s control, the Company continues to apply equity treatment for these warrants.
