Equity Incentive Plan

 

In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (the ”2010 Plan”). There have been no issuances under the 2010 Plan since the adoption of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2010 Plan expired in 2025, and all options available for issuance under the 2010 Plan upon expiration were moved to the 2016 Plan. Accordingly, no shares are available for future issuance under the 2010 Plan as of March 31, 2026.

 

In 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Plan under which incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants. Under the 2016 Plan, ISOs can only be granted to employees and NSOs can be granted to employees, directors, and key advisors. The Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of the awards, including the number of awards to be granted and vesting criteria at the time of grant. The term of each option shall be stated in the option agreement; however, the term shall be no more than ten years from the date of the grant thereof. Stock options must be granted with an exercise price no less than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant.

The options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 had a weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of $0.76 and $0.30, respectively. The total fair value of options vested was $207 and $176 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Fair Value Inputs

 

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2026     2025  
Expected term (in years)     6.1       5.7  
Expected volatility     64.9 %     65.4 %
Risk-free rate     3.9 %     4.1 %
Dividend yield            

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s total stock-based compensation was as follows:

 

    Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
    2026     2025  
Cost of revenue   $ 18     $ 3  
Research and development     11       11  
Selling, general and administrative     96       169  
Total stock-based compensation   $ 125     $ 183  

 

As of March 31, 2026 the unrecognized stock-based compensation related to outstanding unvested options was $1.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

14. Stock Option Plan

 

In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”). There have been no issuances under the 2010 Plan since the adoption of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2010 Plan expired in 2025, and all options available for issuance under the 2010 Plan upon expiration were moved to the 2016 Plan. Accordingly, no shares are available for future issuance under the 2010 Plan as of December 31, 2025.

 

 

In 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Plan under which incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, directors, and consultants. Under the 2016 Plan, ISOs can only be granted to employees and NSOs can be granted to employees, directors, and key advisors. The Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of the awards, including the number of awards to be granted and vesting criteria at the time of grant. The term of each option shall be stated in the option agreement; however, the term shall be no more than ten years from the date of the grant thereof. Stock options must be granted with an exercise price no less than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant.

Balance as of December 31, 2023     10,589,851     $ 0.22       6.50     $ 954

Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2025     14,162,648       0.31       6.41       2,541  
Exercisable at December 31, 2025     9,370,813     $ 0.25       5.11     $ 2,290  

 

The total fair value of options vested was $458 and $432 during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 had a weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of $0.30 and $0.19, respectively.

 

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    2025     2024  
Expected term (in years)     5.9       5.7  
Expected volatility     65.0 %     64.7 %
Risk-free rate     4.1 %     4.0 %
Dividend yield            

 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards. These assumptions include:

 

Expected Term — The expected term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term for option grants is determined using the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the stock-based awards.

 

 

Expected Volatility — Since the Company is privately held and does not have any trading history for its common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants. The comparable companies were chosen based on their similar size, stage in the life cycle or area of specialty.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.

 

Expected Dividend — The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.

 

The Company’s total stock-based compensation was as follows:

 

    2025     2024  
Cost of revenue   $ 13     $ 14  
Research and development     57       59  
Selling, general and administrative     483       440  
Total stock-based compensation   $ 553     $ 513  

 

As of December 31, 2025 the unrecognized stock-based compensation related to outstanding unvested options was $1.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
