The number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan is 1,000,000, plus shares of stock that remained available for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Plan at the time the 2020 Incentive Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders, and shares that are subject to outstanding awards made under the 2017 Incentive Plan that on or after April 14, 2020 may be forfeited, expire or be settled for cash.
