Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plans

The Company has three stock compensation plans, the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2020 Plan permits the Company to make grants of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors; however, incentive stock options may only be granted to the Company’s employees. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan was 4,860,000 shares of common stock and may be increased by the number of shares under the 2014 Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company. Options remain outstanding under the 2007, 2014 and the 2020 Plan. The number of shares subject to and the exercise prices applicable to these outstanding options were adjusted in connection with the one-for-eighteen reverse stock-split. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,151 and 100,532 options outstanding under the 2007 Plan and 2014 Plan, respectively. Options granted under the 2007, 2014 and 2020 Plans generally expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company intends for the 2020 Plan to be its primary stock compensation plan in the future. As of December 31, 2021, there were 782,583 options outstanding and 4,077,417 shares available to issue under the 2020 Plan.

As of December 31, 2021, a total of 4,077,417 stock awards were available for grant under the 2020 Plan. The 2014 Plan was closed to new grants following the approval of the 2020 Plan, and therefore, there were no shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the range of exercise prices was between $4.73 and $2,147 for options outstanding.

Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the common stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the fair value per share of the common stock on the date of exercise. There was no aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The following table presents the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted in the periods presented, as follows:
