The ESPP provides for offering periods not to exceed 27 months, and each offering period will include purchase periods, which will be the approximately six-month period commencing with one exercise date and ending with the next exercise date. Employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the purchase date. A total of 255,500 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP, subject to certain annual increases.
