NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Issuance of Common Stock

 

The Company did not issue any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

 

Options

 

Nexalin’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) was approved by our stockholders on November 10, 2023. The Plan provides that maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the Plan shall be 1,500,000, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits or similar events. The 2023 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which may in turn delegate administrative authority to one or more of our executive officers. Under the terms of the 2023 Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant equity awards, including nonqualified stock options and restricted stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

 

On July 1, 2023, the Company entered into amended employment agreements with the three executives. In addition to the cash compensation included in their employment contracts, the three executives were granted one-time bonus stock options (that were immediately vested) and performance-based stock options that would be triggered based on certain performance criteria being achieved. The amount expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was $40,060 and $0 respectively.

The fair value of these stock option awards is estimated as of the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: A risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant; an expected or contractual term; and expected volatility based on an evaluation of comparable public companies’ measures of volatility. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends on common shares now or in the near future and has therefore assumed no dividend rate. The following table discloses the assumptions, utilized for stock options as follows:

 

               
    March 31,
2024		     December 31,
2023		  
Volatility     99.0 %     99.0 %
Expected dividends   $ -     $ -  
Risk-free interest rate     4.61 %     4.61 %
Expected term (years)     9.25       9.5
