2025 Equity Incentive Plan

 

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) will increase, subject to approval from the Board of Directors, on January 1 of each of 2026 through 2035 by the number of shares equal to the lesser of 4% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 31 (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis), or a number as may be determined by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2026, the Board of Directors had not taken any action to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan.

 

As of September 30, 2026, up to 1,938,468 shares of common stock are reserved under the 2025 Plan and options have been approved and issued for the purchase of 1,532,929 shares of common stock (see Note 11).
