The Company is displaying all equity in its post-Merger amounts. Equity Plans The Company has a number of equity plans, two of which are currently active. The 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2015 Plan”) was adopted by Mirna in 2015 and remains active after the Merger, now functioning as the primary equity plan for the Company. The 2015 Plan provides for the granting of a variety of stock‑based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, dividend equivalent awards, stock payment awards, performance awards and other stock‑based awards. Pursuant to the evergreen provision of the 2015 Plan, which allows for an annual increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance, the Company added 1,270,073 shares to the 2015 Plan on January 1, 2019. The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was adopted by Private Synlogic in 2017 at the time of the 2017 Reorganization and assumed by the Company during the Merger. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards and other stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2019, there were 753,164 shares available for future grant under the Company’s two active equity incentive plans, the 2017 Plan and the 2015 Plan. For a full description of the Company’s equity plans, refer to Note 12, Equity-based Compensation and Equity Incentive Plans in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.
