On May 22, 2024, the Company signed a stock option agreement with Mr. David Shan, the Chief Executive Officer and two other executives of the Company, in connection with the 2024 Plan.

 

As part of the compensation, the Company agrees to grant Mr. Shan options to purchase up to 46,860 common shares under Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) plan, at an exercise price of $4.268 per share. The options were granted on May 22, 2024, and the options vest at a rate of 23,430 per year for two years, effective on May 22, 2024. The aggregate fair value of the options granted to Mr. Shan was $73,000. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: market value of underlying common shares at time of grant of $3.88; risk free rate of 5.0% and 4.65%; expected term of 5 years; exercise price of the options of $4.268; volatility of 88.8%; and expected future dividends of $nil. These options will expire on May 21, 2029.

 

The Company also granted Mr. Shan options to purchase up to 103,140 common shares, at an exercise price of $4.0 per share under Nonqualified Stock Option (“NSO”) plan. The options were granted on May 22, 2024, and vest at a rate of 51,570 shares per year for two years, effective on May 22, 2024. The aggregate fair value of the options granted to Mr. Shan was $160,000. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: market value of underlying common shares at time of grant of $3.88; risk free rate of 5.0% and 4.65%; expected term of 10 years; exercise price of the options of $4.0; volatility of 88.8%; and expected future dividends of $nil. These options will expire on May 21, 2034.

 

The Company also granted two executives options to purchase up to 200,000 common shares, at an exercise price of $4.0 per share under ISO and NSO plans. The options were granted on May 22, 2024, and vest at a rate of 100,000 shares per year for two years, effective on May 22, 2024. The aggregate fair value of the options granted to these two executives was $272,000. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: market value of underlying common shares of $3.88; risk free rate of 5.0% and 4.65%; expected term of 10 years; exercise price of the options of $4.0; volatility of 88.8%; and expected future dividends of $nil. These options will expire on May 21, 2034.
