Note 8 - Stock Option Plan

 

In May 2021, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company may grant up to 10,000,000 stock options to eligible participants. All terms for stock options granted under the Plan will be set by the Board of Directors.

 

Stock Option Grants

 

On November 5, 2025, the Company granted stock options to certain executives and employees to purchase an aggregate of 5,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.48 per share. The options have a contractual term of five (5) years and were fully vested on the grant date. The grant was approved by the Board of Directors and was made pursuant to the Plan. After giving effect to the November 5, 2025 grant, 4,850,000 shares remained available for future issuance under the Plan at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

Of the total grant, 1,500,000 options were granted to the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and President and 750,000 options were granted each to a member of the Board of Directors and the Company’s Vice-President.

 

The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $4,982,588. The weighted average grant date fair value per option was $0.97.
