Stock-based Compensation

7. Stock-based Compensation

In October 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which became effective in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on October 29, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,924,000 shares of common stock and for grant of incentive stock options or other incentive awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under 2020 Plan is also subject to increase on the first day of each calendar year equal to the lesser of i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year or ii) such smaller number of shares as is determined by the board of directors. In January 2021, the shares available under the plan were increased by 4,130,847 shares.

The 2020 Plan replaced and is the successor of 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2013 Plan”), which provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted common stock awards and other awards for up to 7,807,200 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering the 2013 Plan was terminated and no further awards will be made under the 2013 Plan. Any cancellation of outstanding awards at the time of the IPO under the 2013 Plan will be made available for grant under 2020 Plan.

As of March 31, 2021 there were 8,977,597 shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. 

Stock Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted 2,212,250 options to employees with an aggregate grant date fair market value of $112,471. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
