Equity Incentive Plans

 

In March 2018, the Company established its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. On January 19, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was suspended and replaced by the 2021 Plan and, following January 19, 2022, no new grants are to be awarded under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. Existing grants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan were not be impacted by the adoption of the 2021 Plan. Any of the Company’s employees, directors, consultants and other service providers, and those of the Company’s affiliates, are eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. In accordance with applicable tax rules, only employees (and the employees of parent or subsidiary corporations) are eligible to be granted incentive stock options. The 2021 Plan authorizes stock options (both incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and cash or other stock-based awards. On January 19, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering 1,919,025 shares of Class B common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan. On November 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan that, among other things, increases the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 696,770, which the stockholders approved on January 23, 2023. On January 9, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan that, among other things, increases the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 750,000, which the stockholders approved on January 13, 2025.

On January 8, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan that, among other things, increases the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 1,000,000, which the stockholders approved on January 12, 2026.

Rafael Medical Devices Stock Options

 

The Rafael Medical Devices 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “RMD 2022 Plan”) was created and adopted by Rafael Medical Devices in May 2022. The RMD 2022 Plan allowed for the issuance of up to 10,000 shares of Rafael Medical Devices, Inc. Class B common stock which were to be awarded in the form of incentive stock options or restricted shares.

 

In connection with the conversion of Rafael Medical Devices from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company, Rafael Medical Devices adopted the Rafael Medical Devices, LLC 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “RMD 2023 Plan”) in August 2023. The RMD 2023 Plan allows for issuance of up to 46,125 Class A Units of Rafael Medical Devices. There were 16,872 Units available for issuance under the RMD 2023 Plan as of April 30, 2026.

 

Rafael Medical Devices, LLC records compensation expense for stock-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for options using the Black-Scholes model. The expected term was determined according to the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting tranche dates and the contractual term. Due to the lack of company specific historical and implied volatility data, the estimate of expected volatility is primarily based on the historical volatility of a group of similar companies that are publicly traded. For these analyses, characteristics from comparable companies are selected, including enterprise value and position within the industry, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected life of the share-based awards. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Treasury rates with remaining maturities similar to the expected term of the options. Expected dividend yield is zero as Rafael Medical Devices, LLC has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

At April 30, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation related to stock option awards granted under the RMD 2023 Plan was $78 thousand, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years.

 

Cornerstone Stock Options

 

Cornerstone has outstanding stock options and non-qualified options to purchase Cornerstone’s common stock which were granted under Cornerstone’s 2009 and 2018 Stock Incentive Plans (the “Cornerstone Plans”), as well as additional options issued during a prior capital raise.

 

At April 30, 2026, there were 1,004,341 options outstanding granted under the Cornerstone Plans that are vested with a weighted average exercise price of $24.17 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.4 years. The fair value of outstanding options granted under the Cornerstone Plans assumed during the Cornerstone Acquisition were determined to be de minimis.

 

In connection with Cornerstone’s 2003 common stock offerings, Cornerstone entered into an option agreement with an individual in connection with identifying investors. The option agreement grants the right to purchase an option (a “Purchase Option”) to purchase 472,000 Class A Options (“Class A Options”), which allows the purchase of 0.25 shares of common stock for each Class A Option at $11.00 per share. In order to secure this Class A Option, a Purchase Option must initially be purchased for $.005 per potential share of Class A options. Upon exercise of each Class A Option, a right is granted to one Class B Option (“Class B Options”), which allow the purchase of 0.25 shares of common stock for each Class B Option at $12.50 per share. The expiration date of the Class A Options is the later of October 29, 2005 or six months from the date the Company’s shares become publicly traded. The Class B Options expire 180 days from the exercise of the Class A Options. In 2003, 625,000 options (the “Cornerstone Common Options”) were granted with an exercise price of $11.00 per share to a 2003 investor. These Cornerstone Common Options are set to expire 180 days following the closing of an IPO, or from the date Cornerstone’s shares become publicly traded. The fair value of the Class A Options, Class B Options and Cornerstone Common Options assumed during the Cornerstone Acquisition were determined to be de minimis.

 

As part of the Cornerstone Restructuring, Cornerstone increased the available reserve of Cornerstone Common Stock for grant to employees, consultants and other service providers to approximately 10% of Cornerstone’s capital stock following the Cornerstone Restructuring, the Mandatory Common Conversion and the Reverse Stock Split (the “Reserve Increase”) but prior to the issuance of the RPF 6% Top Up Shares or any shares to the holders of the Remaining Series C Convertible Notes after the Closing.

 

Replacement Warrants

 

As part of the Merger with Cyclo, all outstanding warrants to purchase Cyclo Common Stock (other than those held by Rafael, which were cancelled, and those which were settled in cash) were automatically converted into warrants to purchase 1,087,100 shares of Rafael Class B common stock, at an adjusted exercise price per share based upon the Exchange Ratio.

The following table presents the number of common stock warrants outstanding:

Restricted Stock

 

The fair value of restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Class B common stock on the grant date. Share awards generally vest on a graded basis over three to four years of service.
