In September 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which became effective on October 3, 2022. The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options, nonstatutory share options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share unit awards ("RSUs"), performance-based share awards and other share-based awards. Additionally, the 2022 Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards. Upon the effectiveness of the 2022 Plan, there were 9,190,000 common shares reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan,
Legacy Equity Award Settlement Plan
In September 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the Legacy Equity Award Settlement Plan (the "Legacy Plan"), which became effective on September 29, 2022. The Legacy Plan is intended solely to provide for the grant and settlement of nonstatutory share options and RSUs, issued in respect of stock options and RSUs originally granted pursuant to the Former Parent's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan and 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.
On October 3, 2022, the Former Parent completed the Distribution and the Spin-Off. Each Former Parent stock option and RSU outstanding prior to the Distribution was converted into .5 stock options and RSUs, respectively, in the Company. In total, 4,057,121 stock options and 924,093 RSUs were granted and settled into 2,611,392 and 924,093 common shares, respectively, under the Legacy Plan on October 3, 2022.
2022 Employee Share Purchase Plan
In September 2022, the Company's board of directors approved the rules and procedures of the 2022 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") approved
by shareholders of the Company on September 28, 2022. The ESPP allows each eligible employee who is participating in the plan to purchase shares by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 15% of eligible earnings. Upon the effectiveness of the ESPP, 393,769 shares were authorized to be issued under purchase rights granted to eligible employees.
Share-based Compensation Expense
The Former Parent had share-based compensation plans under which it issued common shares or restricted common shares, and granted incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common shares, to employees, members of the board of directors and consultants of the Former Parent. The Former parent also had an Employee Share Purchase Plan which allowed eligible employees who were participating in the plan to purchase shares of The Former Parent at a discount.
Share-based compensation has been allocated to the Company by using a combination of specific identification and a proportionate cost allocation method based on employee hours or directly identified operating expenses, depending on the employee’s function. The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the costs that the Company would have incurred as an independent company for the periods presented.
Share-based compensation under the Former Parent’s share-based compensation plans is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award (generally three to four years) using the straight-line method. Share-based compensation expense attributed to the Company by classification included in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss was as follows:
