(8) EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN:

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 68,437 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant of shares of common stock, stock options or other awards, to employees, officers or directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the Incentive Plan may either be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or may be non-qualified options, and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years from date of grant. As of March 31, 2023, we had awarded 68,437 shares of common stock as awards under the Incentive Plan, with no shares of common stock remaining available for future awards under the Incentive Plan.

 

On June 24, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan at its annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant of shares of common stock, stock options or other awards, to employees, officers or directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 2021 Plan may either be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or may be non-qualified options, and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years from date of grant. As of March 31, 2023, we had awarded 95,032 shares of common stock and granted options to purchase 771,527 shares of common stock under the 2021 Plan, with 2,133,441 shares of common stock remaining available for future awards.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted options to purchase (i) and aggregate of 321,631 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $1.28 per share to its officers and employees, vesting over a four-year period in equal monthly installments, (ii) 2,500 shares of common stock to three employees, with an exercise price of $1.28, vesting immediately, and (iii) 3,350 shares of common stock to each of its five non-employee directors, with an exercise price of $1.28, vesting over a one-year period in equal quarterly installments. The options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: (i) expected term of 5.00 to 6.25 years; (ii) risk free interest rate of 4.1%%; (iii) expected volatility of 100.3% to 103.6%; and (iv) dividend yield of 0.0%. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options issued by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2023 ranged from $0.99 to $1.04 per share.
