Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company has three stock-based incentive compensation plans collectively referred to as the Equity Plans. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan, the 2021 ESPP.

2006 Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Plan was originally adopted by the Company's Board and approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2006. The Company’s 2006 Plan was terminated in 2015 in connection with the adoption of the Company’s 2015 Plan and as a result no new awards may be issued under the 2006 Plan. However, the 2006 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan.

2015 Plan

The Company’s 2015 Plan was originally adopted by the Company’s Board and approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2015. The 2015 Plan was most recently amended in March 2021. In July 2021, upon completion of the IPO, the 2015 Plan terminated immediately prior to effectiveness of the 2021 Plan with respect to the grant of future awards. However, the 2015 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted under the 2015 Plan.

2021 Plan

On July 28, 2021, the Company’s 2021 Plan was adopted and approved by the Company’s Board and stockholders and became effective. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and any subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or (“RSUs”), and performance awards to employees, directors, and consultants and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is equal to 2,420,135 shares of common stock plus any shares subject to awards granted under the 2015 Plan and the 2006 Plan that, after the effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2021 Plan from the 2015 Plan and 2006 Plan being equal to 4,569,530 shares of common stock.

The number of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased automatically on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on the ten year anniversary of the date the Board approved the 2021 Plan, by a number equal to the least of: (i) 7,260,406 shares of the Company's common stock; (ii) 4% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the Company's immediately preceding fiscal year; or (iii) such lesser number of shares of the Company's common stock as the administrator may determine. The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board.


 

 

2021 ESPP

On July 28, 2021, the Company’s Board and stockholders adopted and approved the Company’s 2021 ESPP. There are 711,643 shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP.

The 2021 ESPP provides eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the common stock’s fair market value on the first trading day or last trading day of each purchase period, whichever is lower. The 2021 ESPP provides for two six-month purchase periods every twelve months: May 1 through October 31 and November 1 through April 30. The initial purchase period began on November 1, 2021.

The number of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 ESPP are increased automatically on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the Company's 2022 fiscal year, by a number equal to the least of: (i) 1,452,081 shares; (ii) 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the Company's immediately preceding fiscal year; or (iii) such other amount as the administrator may determine. The 2021 ESPP is administered by the Board.

Registration of shares pursuant to evergreen increases

On March 8, 2022, the Company filed on a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of 1,094,670 additional shares of common stock under the 2021 Plan and 273,667 shares of common stock under the 2021 ESPP.
