Stock Options Plans
 
In
June 2011,
the stockholders of Milestone Scientific approved the
2011
Stock Option Plan (the
"2011
Plan") which originally provided for stock options to our employees, directors and consultants and incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to
2,000,000
shares of common stock and was later amended in
2016
to increase the maximum number of shares reserved for grant to
4,000,000.
Generally, options become exercisable over a
three
-year period from the grant date and expire
five
years after the date of grant. As of
March 31, 2021,
and
December 31, 2020,
the Company had
293,505,
and
424,425,
respectively, remaining options available for grants.  
 
The Milestone Scientific Inc.
2020
Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan") provides for awards of restricted common stock
and options to purchase up to a maximum
2,000,000
shares of common stock and expires in
December 2030.
Options
may
be granted to employees, directors, and consultants of Milestone Scientific for the purchase of shares of common stock at a price
not
less than the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant. In general, options become exercisable over a
three
-year period from the grant date and expire
five
years after the date of grant. There were 
no
shares a granted under this plan as
March 31, 2021
or
December 31, 2020,
respectively.
 
Milestone Scientific recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period and in the case of performance-based options over the period of the expected performance. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2021
and
2020,
Milestone Scientific recognized
$113,507
and
$56,988
of total employee compensation cost, respectively. As of
March
31,2021
 there was
$914,389
 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non- vested options. Milestone Scientific expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of
2.7
years
