Share-based Compensation

Note 11. Share-based Compensation

We use equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for our employees. These incentives consist primarily of stock options and RSUs. In December 2008, we adopted the MEI Pharma, Inc. 2008 Stock Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the Omnibus Plan), as amended and restated from time to time, under which 1,850,739 shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance. The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of options and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards to our non-employee directors, officers, employees and advisors. As of June 30, 2025, there were 920,737 shares available for future grant under the Omnibus Plan.

In May 2021, we adopted the 2021 Inducement Plan (Inducement Plan, together with the Omnibus Plan, the Equity Plans), under which 125,000 shares of Common Stock were authorized for issuance. On June 9, 2023 our Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Inducement Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by 92,000 shares. The Inducement Plan is intended to assist us in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as employees who are expected to contribute to our success, by providing an inducement for such individuals to enter into employment with us and to achieve long-term objectives that will benefit our stockholders. As of June 30, 2025, there were 163,698 shares available for future grant under the Inducement Plan.

Total share-based compensation expense for all stock awards consists of the following, in thousands:

Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees vest 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably each month thereafter for a period of 36 months and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to directors vest ratably each month for a period of 12 months from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. As of June 30, 2025, there were a total of 869,148 options outstanding of which 815,846 were granted under the Omnibus Plan and 53,302 were granted under the Inducement Plan.

As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the closing price of our Common Stock of $2.47 on that date.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options totaled $0.1 million as of June 30, 2025. Such compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.17 years. As of June 30, 2025, we expect all outstanding options to vest.

We use a Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options. During the year ended June 30, 2025, we did not grant any stock options. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the following weighted-average assumptions were used to calculate these fair values:
