  d) Stock–based Compensation Plan

 

2015 Stock Option Plan

 

On September 18, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved a 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

 

The maximum number of our common shares reserved for issue under the plan is 6,050,553 shares subject to adjustment in the event of a change of the Company’s capitalization. As a result of the adoption of the 2015 Plan, no further option awards will be granted under any previously existing stock option plan. Stock option awards previously granted under previously existing stock option plans remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

 

The 2015 Plan is administered by the board of directors, except that it may, in its discretion, delegate such responsibility to a committee of such board. The exercise price will be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant shall be at least equal to the fair market value on such date. If the grantee is a 10% stockholder on the grant date, then the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock on the grant date. Stock options may be granted under the 2015 Plan for an exercise period of up to ten years from the date of grant of the option or such lesser periods as may be determined by the board, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Plan.

The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $1,159,716 and $3,017,876, respectively, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 (2016: $230,239 and $666,967 respectively) in connection with the issuance and vesting of stock options in exchange for services, and $Nil and $Nil respectively (2016: $Nil and $610,000, respectively), in connection with the vesting of restricted stock in exchange for services. These amounts have been included in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses on the Company’s statement of operations as follows:

 

  Three months ended June 30,   Nine months ended June 30,  
  2017   2016   2017   2016  
General and administrative $ 574,470   $ 127,473   $ 1,452,181   $ 715,991  
Research and development   585,246     102,766     1,565,695     560,976  
Total share based compensation $ 1,159,716   $ 230,239   $ 3,017,876   $ 1,276,967  

 

An amount of approximately $8,872,029 in stock based compensation is expected to be recorded over the remaining term of such options through March 31, 2020.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

  

  2017   2016  
Risk-free interest rate   1.98 %   1.67 %
Expected life of options (years)   6.82     6.63  
Annualized volatility   111.67 %   105.21 %
Dividend rate   0.00 %   0.00 %

  

The fair value of restricted stock compensation charges during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was determined with reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s shares on the commitment date.
