Summary of Stock Options
 
Stock Option Plans
 
The Company has issued equity awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) from
two
employee benefit plans. The plans include the Viveve Amended and Restated
2006
Stock Plan (the
“2006
Plan”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated
2013
Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
“2013
Plan”).
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
there are outstanding stock option awards issued from the
2006
Plan covering a total of
104
shares of the Company’s common stock and
no
shares are available for future awards. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is
$992.00
per share and the weighted average remaining contractual term is
3.1
years.
 
The
2013
Plan was also adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by its stockholders. The
2013
Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Administrator”). Under the
2013
Plan, the Company
may
grant equity awards to eligible participants which
may
take the form of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted, deferred or unrestricted stock awards, performance-based awards or dividend equivalent rights. Awards
may
be granted to officers, employees, nonemployee directors (as defined in the
2013
Plan) and other key persons (including consultants and prospective employees). The term of any stock option award
may
not
exceed
10
years and
may
be subject to vesting conditions, as determined by the Administrator. Options granted generally vest over
four
years. Incentive stock options
may
be granted only to employees of the Company or any subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section
424
(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price of any stock option award cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, provided, however, that an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than
10%
of the Company’s outstanding voting power must have an exercise price of
no
less than
110%
of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and a term that does
not
exceed
five
years.
 
On
August 22, 2016,
the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the
2013
Plan to add an “evergreen” provision which will automatically increase annually, on the
first
day of each
January,
the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved and available under the
2013
plan (the “Stock Issuable”) by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares that will increase the Stock Issuable by
4%
of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) or (ii) an amount determined by the board of directors.
 
In
December 2017,
the board of directors approved the
2018
evergreen increasing the total stock reserved for issuance under the
2013
Plan from 
40,000
shares to a total of
49,140
shares, which was effective
January 1, 2018.
 
In
January 2019,
the board of directors approved the
2019
evergreen provision increasing the total stock reserved for issuance under the
2013
Plan by
20,431
shares from 
49,140
shares to a total of
69,571
shares, which was effective
January 1, 2019.
 
In
September 2019,
the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the
2013
Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder to equal
18%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis calculated as of the earlier of: (
1
) the day immediately after the consummation of the Company’s next underwritten public equity offering with gross proceeds of
$5.0
million or more; or (
2
)
December 31, 2019.
Accordingly, the total stock reserved for issuance under the
2013
Plan increased to a total of
11,872,531
shares, which was effective
November 26, 2019.
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
there are outstanding stock option awards issued from the
2013
Plan covering a total of
10,087,574
shares of the Company’s common stock and there remain reserved for future awards
1,798,337
shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is
$2.21
per share, and the remaining contractual term is
9.9
years.

Stock Option Modifications
 
On
May 30, 2018,
under approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement with the former Chief Executive Officer. The provisions of the agreement specify that the stock options previously granted to her will continue to vest through the earlier of the date she ends her consulting services to the Company or
December 31, 2019.
As of
May 30, 2018,
these stock options are being accounted for as a non-employee option through the consulting term and are being marked-to-market. Additionally, the former Chief Executive Officer will receive
six
months of accelerated vesting of the stock options and the post-termination exercise period was extended from
three
months to
one
year after the effective date of the agreement. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$97,000
for the incremental value of the accelerated vesting and the change in the exercise period upon the signing of the agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the years ended
December 31, 
2019
and
2018,
the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase
9,528,869
and
21,419
shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of
$0.73
and
$224.35
per share, respectively. There were
no
stock options exercised by employees during the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

During the years ended

and

the Company granted stock options to nonemployees to purchase
536,975
and
2,123
shares of common stock, with a weighted average grant date fair value of
$0.61
and
$162.17
per share. There were
no
stock options exercised by nonemployees during the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018.
 
 
The fair value of nonemployee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price history over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options, trading volume of comparable companies’ stock, look-back volatilities and the Company specific events that affected volatility in a prior period. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the history of exercises and cancellations on all past option grants made by the Company, the contractual term, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.
No
dividend yield is included as the Company has
not
issued any dividends and does
not
anticipate issuing any dividends in the future.
