Common Stock

 

On June 2, 2014, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to Chisholm II in exchange for oil and natural gas assets recorded at $1,898,947.

 

As discussed above, the Company completed a reverse merger with Dala, with Dala being the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. At the date of the Merger, Westcott had 2,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, which are now outstanding for the merged Company. The total amount of shares issued and outstanding post-Merger, as of December 31, 2014 was 12,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

On November 17, 2014, one of the Company’s shareholders of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, Chienn Consulting Company, converted 17 shares of its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock into 24,286 shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2017, there are a total of 2,926,486 common shares outstanding.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On June 2, 2014, the Company granted options to acquire common shares to its Chief Executive Officer and two directors, totaling 600,000 options. The options have an exercise price of $0.70 per share for terms of six years. Of the total stock options, 400,000 vest equally over the next four years and 200,000 vest equally over the next two years. The total fair value of these options at the date of grant was estimated to be $400,087, and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with expected lives of 4.25 (four-year vesting) and 3.75 years (two-year vesting), a risk-free interest rate of 1.92%, a dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 195%. The expected terms were determined using the simplified method. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $0 of stock-based compensation expense.

 

On December 21, 2015, ninety days after the resignation of a former officer of the Company, his 400,000 stock options expired.

 

On May 9, 2016, two former directors of the Company each voluntarily cancelled 100,000 stock options awarded on June 2, 2014, related to the Partial Cancellation Agreement and their subsequent resignations.

 

As of June 30, 2017, there are no outstanding stock options.
