(b) Stock options to employees and directors

 

On May 9, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2016 Plan. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan and its amendment in May 2021, the Company may offer up to five hundred thousand ordinary shares as equity incentives to its directors, employees and consultants.

The Company accounts for its stock option awards to employees and directors pursuant to the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Merton valuation model.
