2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Note 9-  2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN: 

 

On August 31, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) to provide for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to all employees, consultants and other eligible participants including senior management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The 2011 Plan replaced the prior 2002 Employee Stock Option Plan which had expired in accordance with its terms.

 

Options granted to employees under the 2011 Plan may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, or options which do not qualify (non-qualified stock options).

 

Under the 2011 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an incentive stock option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day the option is granted. In the event an option designated as an incentive stock option is granted to a ten percent (10%) or greater shareholder, such exercise price shall be at least 110 percent (110%) of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the option must not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the day of the grant. The 2011 Plan also provides that holders of options that wish to pay for the exercise price of their options with shares of the Company’s common stock must have beneficially owned such stock for at least six months prior to the exercise date.

 

Exercise prices of non-incentive stock options may be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant(s) that are designated as incentive stock options, and which become exercisable in any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000.

 

On July 1, 2015, our Board of Directors granted 245,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2011 Plan as follows: (i) Michael Offerman, our then Chief Executive Officer, was granted 75,000 options; (ii) Robert Knoth, our Chief Financial Officer, was granted 50,000 options; (iii) four non-executive officer key employees were granted 110,000 options; and (iv) each of our non-management directors, Allen Gottlieb and Gerald Chafetz, was granted 5,000 options. The stock options: (i) have a ten-year term; (ii) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined under the 2011 Plan, as reported in the OTCBB, on the date of grant ($6.00), except that the options granted to Michael Offerman has an exercise price equal to 110% of such fair market value because he owns ten percent (10%) or greater of the Company’s outstanding common stock; and (iii) were all immediately vested. In the event of the termination of each recipient’s employment by, or association with, the Company (as applicable), the options will remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Plan.

 

Effective July 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously voted to increase the number of directors from three to six directors and elected David Offerman as a Class II director and Dr. Sonia Marciano and Eric C. Hugel as Class I Directors.

 

Effective August 15, 2016, the Board of Directors also approved the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2011 Plan to each of Dr. Marciano and Mr. Hugel as follows: Each of the new non-management directors will receive a grant of options totalling 5,000 shares each subject to the following vesting schedule: (i) 1,000 shares will vest immediately (August 15, 2016); (ii) 2,000 shares will vest on August 15, 2017; and (iii) 2,000 shares will vest on August 15, 2018. The stock options: (i) have a ten-year term; and (ii) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined under the 2011 Plan, as reported in the OTCBB, on the date of grant ($5.30). In the event of the termination of each recipient’s association with the Company, the options will remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Plan.
