NOTE 12 – STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

On January 15, 2021, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled “The 2021 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan” (the “2021 Plan”) under which the Company may grant Options to Purchase Stock, Stock Awards or Stock Appreciation Rights up to 15% of the then fully diluted number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, automatically adjusted on January 1 each year. On January 1, 2026, the 2021 Plan was reset in accordance with its stipulations. After the reset on January 1, 2026, there were 51,787,524 shares of Common Stock awards available for grant.

 

Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Board of Directors shall specify the exercise price and vesting period of each stock option on the grant date. Vesting of the options is typically immediate and the options typically expire in five years. Stock Awards, which are fully and immediately vested upon issuance, may be directly issued under the Plan (without any intervening options).
