Equity Incentive Plan

Note 8 – Equity Incentive Plan

 

Under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be modified and amended by the Company from time to time (the “2017 Equity Plan”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) (or the compensation committee of the Board, if one is established) may award stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”), shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, and other stock-based performance awards. The 2017 Equity Plan allocates 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Plan Shares”) for issuance of equity awards under the 2017 Equity Plan. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, the shares will, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, or termination, again be available for awards under the 2017 Equity Plan.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued shares of its common stock under the 2017 Equity Plan as follows:

 

  1,000,000 shares to an employee in settlement of certain RSUs that vested December 31, 2019;
     
  560,000 shares pursuant to a special incentive stock bonus approved by the Board for the period ended December 31, 2019; and
     
  6,750,000 shares in settlement of restricted stock units to a former employee after taking measures to mitigate the Company’s exposure to penalties and liability for the failure to properly withhold income taxes.as further discussed in Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies, Litigation above.

 

As of September 30, 2020, awards related to 21,711,000 shares remain outstanding.
