Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 2020 Equity Incentive Plan In April 2020, the Board of Directors of D-Wave Systems approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which provides for the grant of qualified incentive stock options (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options (“NSO”), restricted stock, RSUs or other awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, advisors, and outside consultants. Following the Merger, awards outstanding under the 2020 Plan continued to be governed by the 2020 Plan; however, the Company will not grant any further awards under the 2020 Plan. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan On August 5, 2022, the shareholders approved the D-Wave Quantum Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective immediately upon the closing of the Merger. While the 2022 Plan allows for the issuance of awards with a service condition, a performance condition, a market condition, or some combination of the three, to date, the Company has only issued awards subject to a service condition. Awards issued under the 2022 Plan have vesting periods ranging from under 1 year to 4 years from the original grant date, and all awards issued to date under the 2022 Plan will expire 10 years from the original grant date. Share-based compensation awards are settled by issuing new shares.
