14. | COMMON STOCK
Issuances of the Company’s common stock during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are as follows: 2019 Reverse Stock Split In April 2019, the Company effected a one-for-fifty reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock from 490,000,000 to 9,800,000. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares were rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional shares held by a stockholder, resulting in the issuance of 187 round-up shares. Any stockholder holding less than 24 shares of Common Stock on a pre-reverse stock basis were paid in cash for such fractional share of Common Stock, which totaled $171. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted for this Reverse Stock Split. Stock Issued in Cash Sales In April 2019, the Company closed an underwritten public offering with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as representative for the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 2,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $6.30 per share (the “Warrants”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of Common Stock, or Warrants, or any combination thereof, at the public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The Common Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold to the public (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-226040), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 2, 2018, as amended, which became effective on April 15, 2019, and a related registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering price to the public was $6.00 per unit and the Underwriters purchased 2,000,000 units. In addition, the Underwriters purchased 300,000 Warrants for $3,000 upon the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $12,003,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. In addition, on May 15, 2019, the Company sold 200,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters (the “Over-allotment) for $5.99 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1,198,000, before deductions from the Over-allotment. Total aggregate proceeds were $13,201,000 and the total expenses of the offering were approximately $1,371,000. In addition, the underwriters were issued 110,000 warrants as a fee based on 5% of total shares sold. Director Compensation During 2019, the Company issued a total of 25,000 shares of common stock to two directors that vested from restricted stock grants dated January 1, 2017, whereby each director was granted 15,000 shares that vest on a pro rata basis over a three year period (which represents 7,500 of these shares) and 15,000 shares that vest based on performance criteria (which represents 17,500 of these shares). The pro rata shares have a per share fair value of $7.50, or $56,250 (based on the market price at the time of the agreement) and the performance shares have a per share fair value of $5.50, or $96,250 (based on the market price on September 17, 2019, which is the date of grant based on when the performance criteria was defined). Additionally, during 2019, the Company issued 8,750 shares of common stock to one director that vested from restricted stock grants dated August 21, 2018, whereby the director was granted 15,000 shares that vest on a pro rata basis over a three year period (which represents 3,750 of these shares) and 15,000 shares that vest based on performance criteria (which represents 5,000 of these shares). The pro rata shares have a per share fair value of $10.00, or $37,500 (based on the market price at the time of the agreement) and the performance shares have a per share fair value of $5.50, or $27,500 (based on the market price on September 17, 2019, which is the date of grant based on when the performance criteria was defined). On September 17, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, and based on input from a third party, nationally recognized compensation consultant, approved the following compensation for non-employee directors of the Company: (1) a quarterly cash retainer of $2,500 to be paid retroactively as of April 1, 2019; (2) an annual grant of 12,500 shares of restricted stock to be issued under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) annually on October 1 and which shall vest quarterly in four (4) equal installments; (3) a payment of $1,000 for attendance in person (or $500 for attendance telephonically) for regularly scheduled board meetings; and (4) to the independent lead director, who is currently Robert C. Schweitzer, an additional annual grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock to be issued under the Plan annually on October 1 and which shall vest quarterly in four (4) equal installments. As a result of the above changes to the non-employee directors’ compensation, all unvested shares of restricted stock held by non-employee directors as of October 1, 2019 were cancelled. As a result of these changes, each director was paid $6,000 for retroactive and current board and meeting fees in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. On September 17, 2019, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, granted two directors annual grants of 12,500 shares each, and the lead director was issued an annual grant of 17,500 shares, which vest quarterly in four (4) equal installments. The grant date was determined to be September 17, 2019 as that was when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the grants was reached. On the grant date, these shares had a per share fair value of $5.50 based on the quoted trading price, or $233,750. On December 31, 2019, 10,625 of these shares vested generating an expense of $63,431 during the three months ended December 31, 2019. The remaining 31,875 shares were held unvested in escrow for these directors at December 31, 2019. In addition, the Board approved two grants of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Wheatley under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The total number of shares granted was determined based on an award of $150,000 divided by the per share quoted trading price on October 1, 2019. On the grant date, the shares had a per share fair value of $5.97 and 25,124 shares were granted. On October 1, 2019, 8,374 of these shares vested and on December 31, 2019, 4,188 of these shares vested generating an expense of $75,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

The $93,750 was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018. Effective March 27, 2018, based on authorization initially approved by the Board of Directors on December 19, 2017, and confirmed by resolutions adopted by the Board on March 27, 2018, the Company granted a total of 15,000 shares of common stock with a per share value of $7.50 per share (based on the market price at the time of the agreement), or $112,500, to three directors for performance of their duties. These shares are being issued from a pool of 15,000 shares of common stock for each director of previously authorized restricted stock grant awards for performance that are awarded if specific performance criteria are achieved or the Board authorizes their award and vesting by specific resolutions. These shares were immediately expensed. On July 19, 2018, Mr. Jay S. Potter resigned as a director of Envision Solar International, and the Company accepted Mr. Potter’s resignation effective on the same date.
