NOTE 12 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
|
The Company’s board of directors approved a stock and option plan on August 11, 2009 (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees and consultants of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries with an increased incentive to make significant and extraordinary contributions to the long-term performance and growth of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to join the interests of employees and consultants with the interests of the shareholders of the Corporation, and to facilitate attracting and retaining employees and consultants of exceptional ability. The total number of shares available for grant under the terms of the Plan is 4,000,000. The number of shares subject to the Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Company’s common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets. |
|
The Plan also has terms and limitations, including without limitations, that the exercise price for stock options granted under the Plan must equal the stock’s fair market value based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock or option is granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes model and commonly utilized assumptions associated with the Black-Scholes methodology. Options granted under the Plan have a five year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board. |
|
The stock option price is the market price of the share at the date of issuance, but may be changed by the Board of Directors or designee from time to time. The stock options are non-transferable and expire not more than five (5) years from the date of the granting. |
|
The Company recognizes compensation expense straight-line over the vesting term. Historically, the Company has issued new shares to satisfy exercises of stock options and the Company expects to issue new shares to satisfy any future exercises of stock options. |

On October 10, 2013, the Board of Directors rescinded, from various officers and directors, 2,040,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

Also on October 10, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the grant, to various officers and directors, of 4,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The options have a strike price of $0.01 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and vest over 9 months. |
