Stock Options

 

In 2010, Phototron adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Pursuant to the 2010 Plan, Phototron’s board of directors or a committee appointed thereby may grant, at its discretion, qualified or nonqualified stock options, and may grant or sell restricted stock to key individuals, including employees, nonemployee directors, consultants and advisors. The options vest over periods determined by the administrator of the 2010 Plan.

 

On February 14, 2011, Phototron amended the 2010 Plan. The amendment increased the number of shares reserved by the 2010 Plan from 333,333 to 433,333 shares of Phototron’s common stock (26,124,268 to 33,961,557 shares of our common stock accounting for the exchange ratio in the PHI Merger) and increased the number of shares that may be granted to any participant from 200,000 to 250,000 (15,674,577 to 19,593,221 shares of our common stock accounting for the exchange ratio in the PHI Merger).

 

Concurrent with the February 14, 2011 amendment to the 2010 Plan, Phototron issued options to purchase 333,333 shares of Phototron’s common stock to its directors and officers, which, after assumption in the PHI Merger, now entitle such officers and directors to purchase 26,124,268 shares of our common stock, and options to purchase 100,000 shares of Phototron’s common stock to certain of its employees and consultants, which, after assumption in the PHI Merger, now entitle such holders to purchase 7,837,289 shares of our common stock. All of the options have an exercise price of approximately $0.02 per share, which was management’s estimate of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant, and a ten-year term. The options granted to directors and officers vest one-half upon issuance and one-half on the one year anniversary. All other options vested immediately upon issuance.

The options are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant.

 

On May 20, 2011, we issued 11,500,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.25 per share to three of our employees that were to vest monthly over terms ranging from two to three years. The options were valued in the aggregate at $1,911,960 at the date of grant based on a black scholes option pricing model.
