11) Equity Plan

The Company maintained an Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Plan (the “2004 Plan”) for directors, officers, and key employees. The 2004 Plan was terminated on May 23, 2013. On May 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). On May 21, 2020, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Heritage Commerce Corp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 shares. The equity plans provide for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock. The equity plans provide that the option price for both incentive and nonqualified stock options will be determined by the Board of Directors at no less than the fair value at the date of grant. Options granted vest on a schedule determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally options vest over four years. All options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is subject to time vesting. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company

granted 329,500 shares of nonqualified stock options and 168,117 shares of restricted stock. There were 2,393,378 shares available for the issuance of equity awards under the 2013 Plan as of June 30, 2020.

The Presidio equity plans were assumed by the Company and the outstanding options issued under the Presidio equity plans were converted into the right to receive the Company’s shares at the exercise price pursuant to the formula defined in the merger agreement. Consideration for the assumed Presidio stock options exchanged for 1,176,757 shares of the Company’s stock options totaled $7,426,000.

(2)Based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the option granted.
(3)Each grant’s dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the most recent quarterly cash dividend and dividing that amount by the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date
