Equity Incentive Plans | Note 13 – Equity Incentive Plans Directors Remuneration During the four months ended April 30, 2025 On January 2, 2025, the Company issued RSU grants of 9,237 shares of common stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan three of its independent directors. The RSUs were granted as an equity retention award pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for independent directors. The RSUs vested upon grant. During the year ended December 31, 2024 On December 17, 2024, the Company issued an RSU grant of 3,058 shares of common stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to newly elected independent director. The RSUs were granted as an equity retention award pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for independent directors. The award was issued such that 50% of the RSUs vested upon grant and the remaining 50% vested on the one-year anniversary of the award. A total of 1,529 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in settlement of the RSUs effective December 17, 2024, the date of the grant. CEA Industries Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 2025 (in US Dollars except share numbers) During the four months ended April 30, 2024 On January 2, 2024, the Company issued RSU grants of 11,364 shares of common stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan three of its independent directors. The RSUs were granted as an equity retention award pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for independent directors. The RSUs vested upon grant. On January 2, 2024, the Company issued an RSU grant of 3,788 shares of common stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to three of its four independent directors. Mr. Shipley declined to receive the RSUs which he was entitled to receive. The RSUs were granted as an equity retention award pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for independent directors effective January 17, 2022 and vested immediately on the grant date. A total of 11,364 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in settlement of the RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2023 On January 3, 2023, the Company issued an RSU grant of 2,480 shares of common stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to each of its four independent directors. The RSUs were granted as an equity retention award pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for independent directors effective January 17, 2022 and vested immediately on the grant date. A total of 10,200 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in settlement of the RSUs. Revised Compensation Plan for Directors On December 16, 2024, the Board of Directors revised the previously adopted compensation plan. This plan supersedes the plan adopted on January 17, 2022. The Plan is effective retroactively for the current independent directors and for independent directors elected or appointed after the Effective Date. At the time of initial election or appointment, each independent director will receive an equity retention award in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. Vesting of the RSUs will be as follows: (i) 50% at the time of grant, and (ii) 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date. In addition, on the first business day of January each year, each independent director who was not initially appointed or elected in the previous year will receive an equity retention award in the form of RSUs. The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. These RSUs will be fully vested at date of grant. There is no additional compensation paid to members of any committee of the Board. Directors who are also executives of the Company, serving on the Board, do not receive compensation for their Board service. All the independent directors, Messrs. Shipley, Etten, Mariathasan, and Tarallo are subject to the Plan. Each independent director is responsible for the payment of any and all income taxes arising with respect to the issuance of any equity awarded under the plan, including the exercise of any non-qualified stock options. CEA Industries Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 2025 (in US Dollars except share numbers) 2017 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 27,778 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. As of April 30, 2025, of the 27,778 shares authorized under the 2017 Equity Plan, 13,641 relate to restricted shares issued, 11,284 relate to outstanding non-qualified stock options and 2,853 shares remain available for future equity awards. As of December 31, 2024, of the 27,778 shares authorized under the 2017 Equity Plan, 13,641 relate to restricted shares issued, 11,615 relate to outstanding non-qualified stock options and 2,522 shares remain available for future equity awards. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan On March 22, 2021, the Board approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on July 22, 2021. The 2021 Equity Plan permits the Board to grant awards of up to 55,556 shares of common stock. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards and other equity linked awards to our employees, consultants and directors. If an equity award (i) expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full or (ii) is settled in cash (i.e., the holder of the award receives cash rather than stock), such expiration, termination or settlement will not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to this Plan.

As of April 30, 2025, of the 55,556 shares authorized under the 2021 Equity Plan, 33,267 relate to restricted shares issued, 11,003 relate to outstanding non-qualified stock options, 3,401 relate to outstanding incentive stock options, 1,529 related to outstanding restrictive stock units, and 6,355 shares remain available for future equity awards. There was $7,854 in unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock units at April 30, 2025 which will be recognized over approximately 1 year. Restricted Stock Awards No shares of restricted stock were issued during the four months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 or the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Stock Options The Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to determine the fair value of options granted. Option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly for the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of options. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The expected stock price volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over periods that are similar to the expected terms of grants and other relevant factors. The Company derives the expected term based on an average of the contract term and the vesting period taking into consideration the vesting schedules and future employee behavior with regard to option exercise. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for a maturity approximating the expected term calculated at the date of grant. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and the Company has no intention to pay a dividend at this time; therefore, the Company assumes that no dividends will be paid over the expected terms of option awards. The Company determines the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards as of the date of grant. Differences in the expected stock price volatility, expected term or risk-free interest rate may necessitate distinct valuation assumptions at those grant dates. As such, the Company may use different assumptions for options granted throughout the year. No stock options were issued during the four months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option award on the date of grant were: expected stock price volatility 152.23%; expected term of 10 years and risk-free interest rate 3.48%.
