The Company entered into a lease agreement on March 12, 2019 which began on January 1, 2019 and terminated on June 30, 2019. The Company is obligated to pay the landlord monthly installments of $2,000 for total future lease payments of $6,000 in 2019.

 

The Company entered into consulting agreements with one director, three executive officers, and one engineer of the Company throughout the prior period which include commitments to issue shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans.

 

According to the agreement with the director, the shares vest annually over three years at the end of the fiscal year. According to the agreements with the executive officers and engineer, the shares vest annually over three years on the anniversary of each agreement.

 

In the event that the agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all unvested shares which have been earned shall vest on a pro-rata basis as of the effective date of the termination of the agreement and all unearned, unvested shares shall be terminated.

 

The consulting agreement with the director was terminated upon the resignation of the director on September 20, 2018 and, pursuant to a Settlement Agreement, 104,673 earned shares were vested. According to the remaining four agreements, 910,000 shares vested in 2019 thus far, 409,000 shares of common stock will vest in the remainder of 2019, 2,470,000 shares of common stock in 2020, and 3,680,000 shares of common stock in 2021.

 

The value of the shares was assigned at fair market value on the effective date of the agreement and the pro-rata number of shares earned was calculated and amortized at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2019, 104,673 shares of common were issued to the former director. As of December 31, 2018, no shares of common stock had been issued to these individuals.
