Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Share-based Compensation | (8) Share-based Compensation Stock Plans The Company’s equity incentive plan, the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Plan), was approved by stockholders on December 10, 2020. The maximum number of shares issuable under this plan is 1,167,425 shares. The Equity Plan provides for the granting of stock options (including indexed options), restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase rights, restricted stock bonuses, performance shares, performance units and deferred stock units. Under the Equity Plan, awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of ARCA, except for incentive stock options, which may be granted only to employees. As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase 601,900 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $3.45 per share were outstanding under the Equity Plan, and 459,718 shares were reserved for future awards. In general, the Equity Plan authorizes the grant of stock options that vest at rates set by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof. Generally, stock options granted by ARCA under the equity incentive plans become exercisable ratably for a period of three to four years from the date of grant and have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise prices of stock options under the equity incentive plan generally meet the following criteria: the exercise price of incentive stock options must be at least 100% of the fair market value on the grant date and exercise price of options granted to 10% (or greater) stockholders must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. In conjunction with the adoption of the Equity Plan, the Company discontinued grants under the 2013 Plan, effective December 10, 2020. As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase 14,807 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $57.73 per share were outstanding under the 2013 plan. The Company did no t grant options in 2023. The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of common stock in the year ended December 31, 2022. The fair values of employee stock options granted in the year ended December 31, 2022 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions and had the following estimated weighted average grant date fair value per share:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |
Expected term |  | 5.5 years |
Expected volatility |  |  | 107 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 3.56 | %
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0 | %
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share |  | $ | 1.87 |

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on our closing price as of December 31 of the respective year, which would have been received by the option holders had all the option holders with in-the-money options exercised as of that date. As of December 31, 2023, the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options, excluding estimated forfeitures, was $367,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. The Company recognizes compensation costs for its share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, as adjusted for expected forfeitures. Restricted Stock Units The Company granted restricted stock units (RSUs) under the Equity Plan to employees during 2022. The fair value of RSU awards is the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant and is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period. The stock awards granted had a requisite service period of one year. A summary of RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented below:
