Stock Options

 

In May 2012, we adopted the Assured Pharmacy, Inc. 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”). The 2012 Incentive Plan is intended to provide incentives that will attract and retain the best available directors, employees and appropriate third parties who can provide us with valuable services.  These purposes may be achieved through the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and phantom stock awards.

 

The 2012 Incentive Plan permits the grant of awards for up to 1,667,667 shares of common stock, subject to limitations on the number of shares that may issued pursuant to incentive stock options, the number shares awarded to any individual in a single year and on the number of shares issuable upon certain performance-based awards, within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Awards may vest, over time, upon the occurrence of one or more events or by the satisfaction of performance criteria, or any combination. To the extent that awards are performance based, they may be based on one or more criteria, including (without limitation) earnings, cash flow, revenues, operating income, capital reissues, or other quantifiable company, customer satisfaction or market data, or any combination. In addition to common stock, awards may also be made in similar securities whose value is derived from our common stock. 

 

Awards with respect to which grant, vesting, exercisability or payment depend on the achievement of performance goals and awards that are options or stock appreciation rights granted to officers and employees will be intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The 2012 Incentive Plan will be administered by the board of directors.

 

On July 15, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate 1,075,000 common shares to key employees under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan.
