STOCK AWARDS AND WARRANTS

NOTE 11 – STOCK AWARDS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

In 2017, our shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2017 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. Our shareholders have approved a total reserve of 53,333 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

 

On September 22, 2023, our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2019 Plan to increase the number shares or our Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by 80,000 shares of Common Stock such that, after amendment and restatement of the 2019 Plan, 126,667 shares of Common Stock are available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. As of March 31, 2026, awards (in the form of options) for an aggregate of 174,380 shares of Common Stock have been issued under our 2019 Plan. A total of 287 shares remaining for issuance were retired with the approval and adoption of the 2024 Omnibus Plan (as further described below).

 

On November 26, 2024, our shareholders approved and adopted the Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (or the “2024 Omnibus Plan”). The 2024 Omnibus Plan automatically replaced and superseded the 2019 Plan. Under the 2024 Omnibus Plan, a total of 1,600,000 shares are available for future use. No awards are to be granted under the 2019 Plan or any other prior plan on or after the effective date of the 2024 Omnibus Plan and after the 2024 Omnibus Plan became effective any unused shares left in the 2019 Plan are to be retired. At the 2025 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the 2024 Omnibus Plan to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2024 Omnibus Plan from 1,600,000 shares to 4,100,000 shares in the aggregate. We anticipate that the 4,100,000 shares will allow the 2024 Omnibus Plan to operate for several years, although this could change based on other factors, including but not limited to merger and acquisition activity.

 

The purpose of the 2024 Omnibus Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interest of the participants to those of our stockholders by providing the participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. Any non-employee director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates will be eligible to participate in the 2024 Omnibus Plan. As of March 31, 2026, we had five non-employee directors, two officers, 268 employees and three consultants, although we expect that, based on our current usage, awards will be generally limited to approximately five non-employee directors, two officers twelve employees, and three consultants. The 2024 Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of our Common Stock, including stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Code and nonqualified stock options that are not intended to so qualify (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, and other equity-based or equity-related awards including restricted stock units and performance units (each, an “Award”). As of March 31, 2026, awards (in the form of options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) for an aggregate of 1,110,487 shares of Common Stock have been issued under our 2024 Omnibus Plan. As of March 31, 2026, RSUs totaling 90,000 shares were granted to employees and contractors at an average price of $5.57 per share.
