At September 30, 2019, we had 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance, of which 241,277,076 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Issuances During the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, certain individuals exercised stock options to purchase 331,619 shares of Common Stock for $108,656 in cash. Also, during the same period, stock options to purchase 12,097 shares of Common Stock were exercised pursuant to the options’ cashless exercise provisions, wherein 11,834 shares of Common Stock were issued.

Issuances During the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, certain individuals exercised stock options to purchase 1,052,300 shares of Common Stock for $107,318 in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, certain individuals exercised stock options to purchase 1,446,876 shares of Common Stock for $1,236,313 in cash. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock were exercised pursuant to the options’ cashless exercise provisions, wherein 9,841 shares of Common Stock were issued.

On August 1, 2018, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of 12,745,098 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $5.10 per share. We granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for a period of 30 days, to purchase up to 1,911,764 additional shares of Common Stock. On August 2, 2018, the underwriters exercised the option in full. The net proceeds from the offering, including the exercise of the option to purchase additional shares, were approximately $69,908,000, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us. The offering closed on August 6, 2018. In connection with the Knight License Agreement, Knight entered into a subscription agreement with us, pursuant to which Knight purchased $20,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock concurrently with the closing of the underwritten public offering of Common Stock on August 6, 2018.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

As of September 30, 2019, we had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 1,832,571 shares of Common Stock with a weighted-average contractual remaining life of approximately 2.2 years, and exercise prices ranging from $0.24 to $8.20 per share, resulting in a weighted average exercise price of $2.62 per share.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of our warrants is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions, including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and the term of the warrant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock to outside consultants at an exercise price of $5.63. The fair value for these warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of 5 years; volatility of 60.8%; risk free rate of 2.52%; and dividend yield of 0%. The grant date fair value of the warrants was $3.00 per share. The warrants are vesting ratably over a 12 month period and have an expiration date of February 12, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we granted warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of Common Stock to outside consultants at an exercise price of $5.16. The fair value for these warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of 5 years; volatility of 62.1%; risk free rate of 2.36%; and dividend yield of 0%. The grant date fair value of the warrants was $2.79 per share. The warrants vest ratably over a 12 month period and have an expiration date of March 15, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $56,418 and $150,977, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $198,306 and $407,292, respectively, as share based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to warrants. As of September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to the unvested portion of these warrants was approximately $83,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.4 years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock were exercised pursuant to the warrants’ cashless exercise provisions, wherein 471,184 shares of Common Stock were issued. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no warrants were exercised.

Options to Purchase Common Stock

In 2009, we adopted the 2009 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2009 Plan, to provide financial incentives to employees, directors, advisers, and consultants of our company who are able to contribute towards the creation of or who have created stockholder value by providing them stock options and other stock and cash incentives, or the Awards. The Awards available under the 2009 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2009 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 15,028,509 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2009 Plan. Effective upon our adoption of the TherapeuticsMD, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, on June 20, 2019, no future awards may be made under the 2009 Plan.

In 2012, we adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2012 Plan, a non-qualified plan that was amended in August 2013. The 2012 Plan was designed to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent key employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and advisors of our company. The Awards available under the 2012 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2012 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 6,316,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 1,040,000 restricted stock awards under the 2012 Plan. Effective upon our adoption of the 2019 Plan, no future awards may be made under the 2012 Plan.

On June 20, 2019, we adopted the 2019 Plan to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent key employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and advisors of our company. The Awards available under the 2019 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2019 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were 13,779,632 shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder, consisting of (i) 11,294,999 new shares, (ii) 2,395,333 unallocated shares previously available for issuance under the 2012 Plan that were not then subject to outstanding “Awards” (as defined in the 2012 Plan), and (iii) 89,300 unallocated shares previously available for issuance under the 2009 Plan that were not then subject to outstanding “Awards” (as defined in the 2009 Plan). Any shares subject to outstanding options or other equity “Awards” under the 2019 Plan, the 2012 Plan and the 2009 Plan that are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of the underlying shares, or if any such Award is settled for cash or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the shares subject to such Award (other than shares tendered or withheld in connection with the exercise of an Award or the satisfaction of withholding tax liabilities), the shares to which those Awards were subject, shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, again be available for delivery with respect to Awards under the 2019 Plan. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,505,001 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 200,000 restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2019 Plan.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the stock options.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are set forth in the table below.

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2019		2018
Risk-free interest rate	1.83-2.54%		2.78-2.82%
Volatility	61.25-64.49%		61.8-63.34%
Term (in years)	5.5-6.5		5.5-6.25
Dividend yield	0.00%		0.00%

A summary of activity under the 2009, 2012 and 2019 Plans and related information follows:

		Number of Shares Underlying Stock Options				Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years				Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Exercised			(343,716	)		$	0.32							$	1,426,828
Expired/Forfeited			(98,625	)		$	5.63
Balance at September 30, 2019			24,849,984			$	4.67				6.05 years			$	13,761,778

Unvested at September 30, 2019			7,248,957			$	4.22				9.06 years			$	4,016,251

At September 30, 2019, our outstanding stock options had exercise prices ranging from $0.19 to $8.92 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted was $1.84 and $3.27 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for options recognized in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 ($2,194,667 and $2,109,218, respectively) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 ($6,568,736 and $5,981,343, respectively) is based on vested awards. At September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested options granted prior to that date was approximately $13,468,000 which may be adjusted for future changes in forfeitures. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards granted under our 2009, 2012 and 2019 Plans entitle the holder to receive, at the end of vesting period, a specified number of shares of our Common Stock. Share-based compensation expense is measured by the market value of our Common Stock on the day of the grant. The shares vest ratably over the period specified in the grant. There is no partial vesting and any unvested portion is forfeited.

On December 13, 2018, we granted 1,040,000 restricted stock units to certain executive employees which will vest at the end of the third year. The grant date fair value was $4.06 per unit. On July 30, 2019, we granted 200,000 restricted stock units to certain executive employees which will vest on January 31, 2022. The grant date fair value was $2.18 per unit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $384,061 and $1,080,738, respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units. At September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units was approximately $3,505,000, which may be adjusted for future changes in forfeitures. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. At September 30, 2019, we had 1,240,000 restricted stock awards outstanding.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

On July 1, 2018, we issued cash-settled SARs to certain consultants and employees. The SARs plan year began on July 1, 2018 and ended on or immediately following June 30, 2019. SARs were granted with a grant price equal to the market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Cash-settled SARs provided for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock on June 30, 2019 over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of our Common Stock over the grant price is paid in cash and not in Common Stock.

Cash settled SARs were recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as a liability until the date of exercise. The fair value of each SAR award was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” the fair value of each SAR award was recalculated at the end of each reporting period and the liability and expense adjusted based on the new fair value and the percent vested. At June 30, 2019, the fair market value of our Common Stock was lower than the grant price of SARs and, as a result, the recorded liability was reversed and no cash payment was made.
