Equity Incentive Plans
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed ApolloMed’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises under the 2013 Plan. As of December 31, 2020, there were no shares available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed ApolloMed’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. In addition, shares that are subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 2013 Plan but that ordinarily would have been restored to such plans reserve due to award forfeitures and terminations were rolled into and become available for awards under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. The 2015 Plan was approved by ApolloMed’s stockholders at ApolloMed’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders that was held in September 2016. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were approximately 0.1 million, 0.5 million and 0.9 million shares available for future grants under the 2015 Plan, respectively.

The grant date fair value of the restricted stock for employees was $1.6 million and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period of three years, of which 7,394 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $0.1 million were forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2020. The grant date fair value of restricted stock for executives was $2.3 million and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards' vesting period of three years.

APC Stock Options Issued Under Primary Care Physician Agreements

On October 1, 2014, NMM and APC entered into an Exclusivity Amendment Agreement as part of the Primary Care Physician Agreement to issue stock options to purchase shares of NMM and APC common stock.

The medical providers agreed to exclusivity to APC for health enrollees in consideration per provider of an exclusivity incentive in the amount of $25,000 (or $15,000 if already a preferred provider). The stock options were granted from the date of agreement through May 1, 2015 and are treated as issuances to non-employees. The exercise price of the stock options was $2.44 (for NMM pre-merger) and $0.17 (for APC) per share and providers were able to exercise anytime between August 1, 2015 and October 1, 2019, as long as the providers continue to provide services pursuant to the terms of the agreement through October 1, 2019. If the agreement is terminated by the provider with or without cause, the exclusivity incentive and any capitation payment above standard rates made in accordance with the terms of the agreement shall be fully repaid to APC by the terminating medical provider. In addition, any unexercised share options held by the terminating medical provider will be forfeited on effective date of termination, and any share options that have been exercised will be bought back by NMM and APC at the original purchase price. As all outstanding options, and the contingency to repurchase these options, expired on October 1, 2019, there is no expense recognized in connection with the Exclusivity Amendment Agreements during the year ended December 31, 2020.
