Issuance of common stock pursuant to the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan

 

On January 12, 2012, the Company issued shares of 109,584 out of the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan of Orient Paper Inc. (the “2011 ISP”) to certain of its directors and officers when the stock was at $3.45 per share, as compensation for their services in the past years. Total fair value of the stock was calculated at $378,065 as of the date of issuance. The 2011 ISP was approved by the shareholders of the Company in August 2011 and sets aside 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the purpose of compensating services provided by the employees, directors and other service providers. See Note (16), Stock Incentive Plan, for more details of the 2011 ISP.

 

Cancellation of certain director compensation shares

 

On April 4, 2013, the Company cancelled 2,875 shares of common stock previously issued on March 31, 2011 to two of its directors. The cancellation of shares was at the request of the New York Stock Exchange following a review of the Company’s shares listing application, where the stock exchange believes the shares were issued without shareholder approval and after the Company was subject to the shareholder approval requirement for any stock compensation. The Company reversed the related capital accounts and 2011 compensation expense of $0 and $16,158, respectively, during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
