Stock–based Compensation Plan

     
   

In April, 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan which provides for the granting of stock options to selected directors, officers, employees or consultants in an aggregate amount of up to 3,000,000 common shares of the Company and, in any case, the number of shares to be issued to any one individual pursuant to the exercise of options shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital. The granting of stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If no vesting schedule is specified by the Board of Directors on the grant of options, then the options shall vest over a 4 -year period with 25% of the options granted vesting each year commencing 1 year from the grant date. For stockholders who have greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and who have granted options, the exercise price of their options shall not be less than 110% of the fair of the stock on grant date. Otherwise, options granted shall have an exercise price equal to their fair value on grant date.

     
   

On February 2, 2011, the Company amended and restated the 2007 stock option plan to increase the number of options authorized to 4,000,000.

    (1)

The options vest upon one or more compounds: entering Phase II trial – 90,000 options; entering Phase III trial – 90,000 options; and receiving FDA approval – 90,000 options.

The fair value of stock options granted has been determined using the Black- Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions applied to stock options granted during the periods:


  2014 2013
Risk-free interest rate 2.17% -
Expected life of options (years) 6.50 -
Annualized volatility 91.21% -
Dividend rate 0.00% -

There has been no stock-based compensation recognized in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 (2013: $nil and $nil, respectively) for options that will vest upon the achievement of performance milestones because the Company has determined that satisfaction of the performance milestones was not probable. Compensation relating to stock options exercisable upon achieving performance milestones will be recognized in the period the milestones are achieved.
