On May 2, 2016, we reduced the exercise price from $1.50 per share to $0.54 per share for these options. All other terms of the previous option agreements remained unchanged. We remeasured the options on the modification date using the Black-Scholes Model. The incremental fair value of vested options was approximately $71,000 and was recognized immediately.

In accordance with the employment agreement, the Chief Executive Officer will be issued stock options to acquire 5% of our fully-diluted issued and outstanding shares through our next significant financing transaction or series of significant financing transactions.
