Stock Options
 
At October 31, 2017, we had one stock option plan, the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  The 2017 Plan provides for not more than 22,439,420 shares of the Company that may be issued and consists of (i) 12,305,500 shares issuable pursuant to awards previously granted that were outstanding under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”); (ii) 4,133,920 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2016 Plan; and (iii) 6,000,000 additional shares that may be issued pursuant to awards that may be granted under the 2017 Plan.  The 2017 Plan superseded and replaced our 2016 Plan, which superseded and replaced our prior 2015, 2014, 2013, 2009 and 2006 Stock Incentive Plans (collectively the “Stock Incentive Plan”), such that no further shares are issuable under those prior plans.
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2017, we granted stock options under the Stock Incentive Plan to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase a total of 1,854,000 shares of the Company exercisable at $1.28 per share with a term five years.
 
The majority of these stock options are subject to a 24-month vesting provision whereby at the end of the first three and six months after the grant date, 12.5% of the total stock options become exercisable, and whereby at the end of each of 12, 18 and 24 months after the grant date, 25% of the total stock options become exercisable.
 
A summary of stock options granted by the Company during the three months ended October 31, 2017, including corresponding grant date fair values and assumptions using the Black Scholes option pricing model is as follows:
