INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

NOTE 8 – INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

On August 1, 2016, the Company adopted its Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of options to employees, directors, consultants and advisors to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Board is responsible for administration of the Plan. The Board determines the term of each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Incentive stock options may be granted to any officer or employee at an exercise price per share of not less than the fair market value per common share on the date of the grant.

 

On August 15, 2016, five-year options were granted to certain participants for the purchase of 1,702,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. 1,000,000 shares vested immediately and the balance over three years.

 

On October 1, 2016, five-year options were granted to certain participants for the purchase of 856,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

 

As of January 1, 2017, an option for the purchase of 40,000 shares was made at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. All 40,000 shares vested immediately.

 

As of August 1, 2017, an additional five-year option for the purchase of 30,000 shares was made at an exercise price of $1.00. The shares vest over three years.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 options representing 1,603,667 shares and 1,176,000 shares were vested or exercisable, respectively.

 

No options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or for the year ended December 31, 2016. Options for 56,250 shares were forfeited on June 30, 2017.

 

All options issued to-date expire after five years from the issue date. Except for the option for one million shares issued to the CEO and to the Company’s counsel for 40,000 shares that vested immediately, all the options issued to date vest over three years.

 

Stock options are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation, with option expense amortized over the vesting period based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model fair value on the grant date, which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 $11,910 and $47,632, respectively, has been recorded as stock-based compensation and classified in general and administrative expense on the Statement of Operations. The total amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options was $22,419 as of September 30, 2017. This amount will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

 

The grant date fair value of options granted during the year of 2016 were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 181%, expected term of 1.9 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00% and expected dividend yield of 0% for the options granted on August 15, 2016 with an exercise price of $0.10 per share and; expected volatility of 73.64%, expected term of 2.0 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00% and expected dividend yield of 0% for the options granted on October 1, 2016 with an exercise price of $0.15 per share. For options granted January 1, 2017, the following factors were used; volatility 36.18%; risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 2.3 years. For options granted August 1, 2017, the following factors were used: volatility 63.05%; risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 2.8 years.

 

Expected volatility is based on the average of the historical volatility of the stock prices of a blend of five publicly traded companies operating in a similar industry as that of the Company. The risk-free rate is based on the rate of U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting for feature rates.
