Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares

 

On January 27, 2020, the Company completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the company’s common stock, such that for each five shares outstanding prior to the stock split there was one share outstanding after the reverse stock split. All shares of common stock referenced in this report have been adjusted to reflect the stock split figures.

 

There is no change to the authorized shares of the Company' common stock which remain at 80,000,000.

 

Issuance of Restricted Shares

 

A restricted stock award (“RSA”) is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares of nonvested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted in the aggregate, 480,050 restricted shares of common stock to a consultant, the company's directors, officers and an employee. The restricted shares award were granted under the 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (See Note 13) and vested immediately. The fair value of the award on the date of grant was $2,350,250 which was expensed in full during the year ended December 31, 2020.
