The Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to provide additional incentives to select persons who can make, are making, and continue to make substantial contributions to the growth and success of the Company, to attract and retain the employment and services of such persons, and to encourage and reward such contributions, by providing these individuals with an opportunity to acquire or increase stock ownership in the Company through either the grant of options or restricted stock. The 2018 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or such other committee as is appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the 2018 Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee has full authority to administer and interpret the provisions of the 2018 Plan including, but not limited to, the authority to make all determinations with regard to the terms and conditions of an award made under the 2018 Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the 2018 Plan is 8,000,000. This number is subject to adjustment to reflect changes in the capital structure or organization of the Company.
