The Company’s 2006 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and non-vested restricted stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. In January 2014, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Plan was increased from 9,000,000 to 10,300,000 pursuant to an “evergreen” provision, which provides for an annual increase based on the lesser of 1,300,000 shares, 5% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock, or such other amount as the board of directors may determine. This increase was approved by the board of directors in December 2013. The administration of the 2006 Stock Plan is under the general supervision of the compensation committee of the board of directors. The exercise price of the stock options is determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors, provided that incentive stock options are granted at not less than fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and expire no later than ten years from the date the option is granted. Options generally vest over four years. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had options outstanding to purchase 8,179,958 shares of its common stock, which includes options outstanding under its 2001 Stock Plan that was terminated in March 2006, and had 35,000 restricted shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2014, 1,250,918 shares were available for future issuance.
