Stock-based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity
Note 12. Stock-based Compensation and Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We have 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, authorized but not issued with rights and preferences determined by our board of directors at the time of issuance of such shares. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

We may issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by stockholders on June 5, 2020, authorizing 50,000,000 plus 10,450,000 shares carried over from the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). No new awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan, though 72,460,000 shares remained reserved for outstanding awards at the time of adoption. Stockholders approved amendments to the 2020 Plan in May 2022, January 2024, and June 2025, increasing the share reserve by 20,000,000, 15,000,000, and 18,000,000 respectively. Awards under the 2020 Plan include stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares, and other equity-based awards. Stock options are granted at a price not less than fair value (110% for 10% stockholders) and generally expire ten years after the date of the grant. Stock options and RSUs generally vest over four years (25% after one year and quarterly thereafter).

As of March 31, 2026, we had 7,654,346 authorized shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Determining Fair Value

We measure RSUs at the grant-date stock price and stock options using the Black-Scholes model, with inputs for expected term, volatility, zero dividend yield, and U.S. Treasury risk-free rates, amortized over the vesting period.

The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 was $21.70 and $33.98 per share, respectively, and three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $18.97 and $26.03, respectively, using the below assumptions.

The fair value of stock option grants for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Stock Option Activity

2023 CEO Performance Award

In November 2023, the Compensation Committee granted the CEO a stock option for 5,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $45.00.
