At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, held on April 27, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,200,000 shares, to an aggregate of 5,755,277 shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders also approved the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2017 ESPP”), which authorized the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of common stock thereunder. Under the terms of the 2017 ESPP, eligible U.S. employees can elect to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock through periodic payroll deductions during a series of six-month offering periods, which will generally begin in March and September of each year. The purchases would be effected on the last business day of the offering period at a 15% discount to the closing price on that day. The 2017 ESPP was implemented, subject to stockholders approval, on March 10, 2017, and the first purchases thereunder will be on September 13, 2017.
