Stock Options

 

The Board of Directors adopted the Trillion Energy International Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2022 Plan”) effective as of December 1, 2022. The 2022 Plan permits grants of stock options and restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards.

 

Under the 2022 Plan, the maximum number of shares of authorized stock that may be delivered is 10% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding of the Company as determined on the applicable date of grant of an award under the 2022 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the exercise price of each option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, subject to any applicable Exchange approval or rules, at the time any option or other stock-based award is granted. In no event shall such exercise price be lower than the exercise price permitted by the Exchange. The vesting schedule for each option or other stock-based award shall be specified by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, subject to any applicable Exchange approval or rules.
