Stock Incentive Plan

 

Our board of directors and shareholders adopted the 2022 Equity Plan on January 1, 2022. The 2022 Equity Plan allows for the grant of a variety of equity vehicles to provide flexibility in implementing equity awards, including nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2022 Equity Plan was initially an aggregate of 600,000 shares, as adjusted on June 15, 2023, in connection with the Company’s reverse stock split, subject to annual increases under the plan, resulting in 1,633,000 reserved shares as of June 30, 2025. There were 1,333,470 options with a weighted average exercise price of $2.20 per share, and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 9.01 years, outstanding as of June 30, 2025.
