Equity Incentive Plans
In July 2021, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which 17,000 shares of Class A common stock are reserved for issuance thereunder, subject to certain adjustments and other terms. Following the adoption of the 2021 Plan, no additional awards are expected to be issued under the Company’s previous stock incentive plan, pursuant to which there are no remaining unvested awards. The 2021 Plan authorized the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR Awards”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards (collectively the “2021 Plan Awards”). Any 2021 Plan Awards that expire or are forfeited may be re-issued. The estimated fair value of the 2021 Plan Awards at issuance is recognized as compensation expense over the related vesting, exercise, or service periods, as applicable.
On March 9, 2023, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the 2021 Plan (the “Amendment” and together with the 2021 Plan, the “Amended 2021 Plan”) to increase the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Amended 2021 Plan to an amount not to exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, on a non-diluted basis, as constituted on the grant date of an award pursuant to the Amended 2021 Plan. On May 5, 2023, the stockholders of the Company voted to approve the Amendment, and on April 29, 2026, the stockholders of the Company voted to reapprove the Amended 2021 Plan in accordance with the policies of the CSE. As of March 31, 2026, there were 6,559 shares of Class A common stock available for grant for future equity-based compensation awards under the Amended 2021 Plan. Activity related to awards issued under the Amended 2021 Plan is further described below. As of March 31, 2026, no SAR Awards and no RSAs had been granted under the Amended 2021 Plan.

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options was $654 as of March 31, 2026, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.0 years.
We determine the fair value of stock options on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.24 per share and was calculated on the date of grant using weighted-average assumptions that included a risk-free interest rate of 3.6%, an expected term of 3.75 years, no dividend yield, and an expected volatility of 70.0%.

Performance Based Awards

These awards, once granted, will be subject to certain vesting conditions, including the achievement of certain stock price targets and continued service to the Company.
