Note 12 - Equity Incentive Plan

 

In January 2021, the Legacy Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”), which provided for grants of awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock awards to selected employees, directors, and independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates, as defined in the Incentive Plan. The Company assumed the 2021 Plan and all outstanding awards thereunder in connection with the Business Combination. Initially, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued by the Legacy Company under the 2021 Incentive Plan was not to exceed 4,672,506, equivalent to approximately 186,900 shares after giving effect to the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split. Following the Business Combination, no additional awards may be granted under the 2021 Incentive Plan, and no additional shares remain available for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan other than the 2,032,521 shares that were subject to the outstanding awards that were assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, equivalent to approximately 81,301 shares after giving effect to the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split. The purpose of the 2021 Incentive Plan was to encourage and enable selected participants to acquire or to increase their holdings of the Company’s Common Stock and other equity-based interests in the Company in order to promote a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders. The 2021 Incentive Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has granted awards under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan as described in the stock options and restricted stock awards subsections below under this note.

 

Effective as of June 18, 2025, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the 2024 Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by attracting, retaining and rewarding employees, consultants and directors and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. The 2024 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards.

 

The 2024 Incentive Plan initially provided for a maximum aggregate of 2,927,332 shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for issuance, equivalent to approximately 117,093 shares after giving effect to the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split. Subsequently, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2024 Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder to 19,959,853 shares on a pre-split basis. Following the effectiveness of the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 29, 2026, the 19,959,853-share reserve was adjusted to approximately 798,394 shares of Common Stock, subject to the treatment of fractional shares and other adjustments provided for under the plan. The 2024 Incentive Plan also provides for an annual increase, beginning with the first fiscal year following stockholder approval and continuing for up to ten years, equal to the lesser of 10% of the outstanding shares as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year or such lesser amount as determined by the Board.

 

The 2024 Incentive Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, which has the authority to determine the participants to whom awards will be granted, the type and number of awards, and the terms and conditions of each award, including vesting, subject to the provisions of the plan. The 2024 Incentive Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Compensation Committee, provided that no awards may be granted later than ten years from the earlier of the date of Board or stockholder approval. As of June 30, 2026, no equity awards had been granted pursuant to the 2024 Incentive Plan.
