On October 29, 2019, the Company granted to directors and management stock options to acquire an aggregate of 2,450,000 common shares of the Company’s common stock.  The options vested immediately and are exercisable at a price of $0.08 per common share for a period of five years from the date of the grant. Also, in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors, Mr. Matlack was granted 100,000 options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock.  The options have an exercise price of $0.08 per share, vested immediately, and have a term of five years.

The fair value of the option awards granted during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $0 and $161,100, respectively, measured on the date of the grant with a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table:

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Board of Directors issued 100,000 stock options to the Chief Financial Officer. The fair value of the option award was $5,000 and measured on the date of the grant with a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, 100,000 options were terminated as a result of the resignation of a member of the Board of Directors.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, 250,000 options held by a third-party vendor expired, and 180,000 options held by directors expired.
