AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The preferred stock is designated as follows: 20,000,000 shares to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; 10,000 shares to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; 250,000 shares to Series C Convertible Preferred Stock; 13 shares to Series D Convertible Preferred Stock; and 19,739,987 undesignated shares.

 

OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLANS

 

On September 7, 2018, the Board of the Company, as well as a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which enables the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, and other incentive awards to associates, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its affiliates, and to improve the ability of the Company to attract, retain, and motivate individuals upon whom the Company’s sustained growth and financial success depend, by providing such persons with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company. Stock options granted under the 2018 Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, except that stock options granted to outside directors and any consultants or advisers providing services to the Company or an affiliate shall in all cases be non-qualified stock options. The option price must be at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant and if issued to a 10% or greater shareholder must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. The 2018 Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which shall have discretion over the awards and grants thereunder.

 

The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options or awards may be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan is 5,000,000, adjusted as provided in Section 4 of the 2018 Plan. No awards may be issued on or after September 7, 2028.

 

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, options to purchase 496,600 and 986,165 shares of options were outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, 3,345,353 and 4,974,178 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding to employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 2,199,439 and 2,025,822 securities available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan, respectively.

The Company received approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering and $94,766 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company. The public offering was made pursuant to our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021, and prospectus supplement dated February 8, 2023.

The placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable and expire three years from the date of issuance. In connection with the offering, each of the Company’s officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements restricting the sale or transfer of Company securities for 90 days following the closing date, subject to certain exceptions.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to common stock, stock options and warrants for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, of $2,764, $3,525, $22,039, respectively, which is included within compensation expense on the consolidated statement of operations. As December 31, 2025, there was $1,450 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.34 years.

 

WARRANT AND OPTION VALUATION

 

The Company has computed the fair value of certain warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are recorded as a reduction of previously expensed amount at the time of occurrence. The expected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of the Company over a period equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

The Company grants Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to employees, executives, and members of the Board of Directors under the Company’s equity incentive plan. RSUs represent a right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting and have no exercise price. The RSUs vest ratably over service periods of one to three years from the date of grant, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company. Upon vesting, the RSUs automatically settle and convert into unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

A summary of the RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2025 is presented below:

 

          Weighted     Weighted  
          Average     Average
