On January 23, 2014, upon effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which will provide for the issuance of up to 50,000 shares. The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentive to those officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company’s business.

 

On January 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee of the Board, by unanimous written consent the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Stock and Award Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which increases the number of authorized shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan to 100,000 shares.

 

On September 30, 2016, the Board of Directors increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock subject to the Amended Plan to 103,750 shares. As of December 31, 2018, grants of restricted stock and options to purchase 78,028 shares of Common Stock have been issued, pursuant to the Amended Plan, and are unvested or unexercised and 25,722 shares of Common Stock remain available for grants under the Amended Plan.

 

On August 7, 2017, the Shareholders approved and the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) which will provide for the issuance of up to 168,750 shares. The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentive to those officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company’s business. As of December 31, 2018, grants totaling 36,032 shares of restricted Common Stock have been issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan and 132,718 shares of Common Stock remain available for grants under the Plan.

 

On December 7, 2018, the Shareholders approved and the Company adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) which provides for the issuance of up to 1,875,000 shares. The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to provide additional incentive to those officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company’s business. As of December 31, 2018, there were no grants under the 2018 Plan and 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock remain available for grants under the Plan.

 

The Plans are administered by the Board or a Board-appointed committee. Eligible recipients of option awards are employees, officers, consultants or directors (including non-employee directors) of the Company or of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. The Board has the authority to grant to any eligible recipient any options, restricted stock or other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the Company’s Common Stock.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company issued 10,625 shares of Common Stock under the above plans (See Note 9).
