Stock Plans and Share-Based Compensation Stock Plans and Share-Based Compensation
Equity Compensation Plans and Replacement Awards
As of December 31, 2023, we had two shareholder approved stock plans under which shares were available for equity-based awards; the Callaway Golf Company Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Plan (the “2004 Incentive Plan”) and the Callaway Golf Company 2022 Incentive Plan (the “2022 Incentive Plan”). We also had one non-shareholder approved stock plan, the 2021 Employment Inducement Plan (the “2021 Inducement Plan”), which was adopted in connection with our merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021. The 2021 Inducement Plan has substantially the same terms as our 2004 Incentive Plan, with the exception that awards can only be made to new employees in connection with their commencement of employment and incentive stock options cannot be granted under the 2021 Inducement Plan. Upon the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan, we ceased granting awards under the 2004 Incentive Plan and the 2021 Inducement Plan and, except for shares subject to awards under those plans on the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan, any shares remaining for future issuance under such Plans were canceled.
The 2004 Incentive Plan permitted the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share units and other equity-based awards to our officers, employees, consultants and certain other non-employees who provide services to us. All grants under the 2004 Incentive Plan were discretionary, although no participant may receive awards in any one year in excess of 2.0 million shares. No new awards may be granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan.
The 2021 Inducement Plan was adopted in connection with our merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021. The plan permitted the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share units and other equity-based awards to our officers, employees, consultants and certain other non-employees who provide services to us. No new awards may be granted under the 2021 Inducement Plan.
The 2022 Incentive Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share units and other equity-based awards to our officers, employees, consultants, eligible directors serving on our Board of Directors and certain other non-employees who provide services to us. All grants under the 2022 Incentive Plan are discretionary. Directors may receive a one-time grant upon their initial appointment to our Board of Directors and may receive an annual grant thereafter upon being re-elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. The maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the 2022 Incentive Plan is 16.0 million shares, plus any shares underlying awards made under the 2004 Incentive Plan to the extent such awards lapse, expire, terminate or are canceled.
In connection with the merger with Topgolf which was completed on March 8, 2021, we assumed two equity compensation plans and a stock option agreement between Topgolf and a third party (collectively, the “Topgolf Equity Compensation Plans and Option Agreement”) in connection with the merger. No additional awards may be granted by the Company under the assumed Topgolf Equity Compensation Plans and Option Agreement.
The following table presents shares authorized, available for future grant and outstanding under each of our plans as of December 31, 2023 (in millions):

Stock Options
There were no stock options granted in 2023 or 2022. In 2021, we granted 3.2 million stock options related to the replacement awards that were issued in connection with our merger with Topgolf. These awards had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $25.93 per share and a total acquisition date fair value of $5.3 million.
