On September 30, 2017, the total shares available for issuance under the FalconStor Software, Inc. 2016 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan") totaled 3,161,300. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, if, on July 1st of any calendar year in which the 2016 Plan is in effect, the number of shares of stock as to which options, restricted shares and restricted stock units may be granted under the 2016 Plan is less than five percent (5%) of the number of outstanding shares of stock, then the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan is automatically increased so that the number equals five percent (5%) of the shares of stock outstanding. In no event shall the number of shares of stock subject to the 2016 Plan in the aggregate exceed twenty million shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2016 Plan. On July 1, 2017, the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock totaled 44,525,990. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the total shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan thus increased 2,081,080 to 2,226,300 shares available for issuance as of July 1, 2017.
