Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation | Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation Sale of Unregistered Common Stock On April 20, 2017, the Company sold 7,589,000 shares of unregistered common stock to Goertek, Inc. for $24,664,250 ($3.25 per share). This represented approximately 10.1% of Kopin’s total outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of purchase. In addition, Kopin and Goertek have entered into agreements to jointly develop and commercialize a range of technologies and wearable products. Goertek is a leading innovative global technology company headquartered in Weifang, China that designs and manufactures a range of consumer electronics products for brand customers including wearables, virtual and augmented reality headsets, and audio products. The transaction was accounted for under ASC 505-30 "Treasury Stock", and the loss on the sale of the treasury stock of approximately $0.8 million was charged to retained earnings. At completion of the transaction, the U.S. government requested certain information regarding the transaction for the Committee on Foreign Investment. See Note 16. Related Party Transactions for additional discussion around agreements with Goertek. Restricted Stock Awards In 2010, the Company adopted a 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("2010 Equity Plan") which authorized the issuance of shares of common stock to employees, non-employees, and the Board. The 2010 Equity Plan was a successor to the Company’s 2001 Equity Incentive Plan ("2001 Equity Plan") and has been subsequently amended to increase the number of authorized shares to 14,100,000 as of December 29, 2018. The number of shares authorized under the 2010 Equity Plan is the number of shares approved by the shareholders plus the number of shares of common stock which were available for grant under the 2001 Equity Plan, the number of shares of common stock which were the subject of awards outstanding under the 2001 Equity Plan and are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire after the adoption of the 2010 Equity Plan and the number of shares of common stock delivered to the Company either in exercise of an 2001 Equity Plan award or in satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation. The term and vesting period for restricted stock awards granted under the 2010 Equity Plan are determined by the Board’s compensation committee. As of December 29, 2018, the Company has approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock authorized and available for issuance under the Company’s 2010 Equity Plan. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock awards is generally the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The non-vested restricted common stock awards require the employee to fulfill certain obligations, including remaining employed by the Company for one, two or four years (the vesting period) and in certain cases also require meeting either performance criteria or the Company’s stock achieving a certain price. For non-vested restricted common stock awards that solely require the recipient to remain employed with the Company, the stock compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated service period. For non-vested restricted common stock awards that require the achievement of performance criteria, the Company reviews the probability of achieving the performance goals on a periodic basis. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for the performance goal is amortized over the anticipated service period. If the performance criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed.
