Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards | 8. Stock-Based Compensation On November 15, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated on March 12, 2020 (the “Amended 2017 Plan”), for the purpose of granting equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants. The Amended 2017 Plan allows for the granting of up to 3,607,523 shares of common stock as approved by the Board of Directors or committees thereof in the form of nonqualified or incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, performance unit awards or stock appreciation rights to officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company. As of June 30, 2021, there were 1,045,018 shares available for grant under the Amended 2017 Plan. Equity awards classified as restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock are treated as issued shares when granted; however, these shares are not included in the computation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. When shares vest, unless the holder elects to pay the payroll tax liability in cash or through a sale of shares, the Company withholds the appropriate amount of shares to settle the payroll tax liability, on behalf of the individual receiving the shares, as an adjustment to accumulated deficit. Stock Options All options become exercisable over periods established at the date of grant. The option exercise price is generally not less than the estimated fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s management and Board of Directors.
