Stock Options and Warrants | Note 12—Equity, Stock Options and Warrants On April 11, 2016, we entered into a stock purchase agreement dated April 11, 2016, pursuant to which we issued to an accredited investor an aggregate of 696,056 shares of our common stock in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million (the “April 2016 Private Placement”). The closing of the April 2016 Private Placement satisfied the Qualified Private Offering requirement in the March Amendments described below under “March 2016 Amendment to 2015 Notes”. Stock Options On July 1, 2013, our board of directors adopted and approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and amended the 2013 Plan on March 24, 2015 to increase the number of shares available for issuance. The 2013 Plan authorizes us to grant non-qualified stock options and restricted stock purchase rights to purchase up to 420,000 shares of our common stock with vesting to employees (including officers) and other service providers. With the approval of the 2015 Plan, described below, as of August 29, 2015, no shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. On July 15, 2015, our board of directors approved the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders on August 28, 2015. Upon adoption, the 2015 Plan authorized us to grant up to 300,000 shares of our common stock and replaced the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. As a result of the approval of the 2015 Plan, no additional grants will be made under the 2013 Plan. On August 22, 2016, our board of directors approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the total authorized pool available under the 2015 Plan to 600,000 shares of our common stock, subject to automatic increase for any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan that are subsequently canceled or expire. Our stockholders approved the foregoing amendment on September 26, 2016. As of September 30, 2016 594,000 shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance awards payable in a combination of cash and company shares. There were no awards granted under the 2015 Plan as of September 30, 2016. The 2015 Plan has the following limitations: ● Limitation on terms of stock options and stock appreciation rights ● No repricing or grant of discounted stock options ● Clawback ● Double-trigger acceleration ● Code Section 162(m) Eligibility ● Dividends At September 30, 2016, total unrecognized deferred stock compensation expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 0.6 years for outstanding grants was $1.0 million. The fair value of option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded only for those awards expected to vest. Currently, the forfeiture rate used to calculate stock-based compensation expense is zero which approximates the effective actual forfeiture rate. The rate is adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates in order to recognize compensation cost only for those awards that actually vest. If factors change and different assumptions are employed in future periods, the share-based compensation expense may differ from that recognized in previous periods. Stock-based award activity was as follows: Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Remaining Aggregate Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Options Price Life Value Balance, December 31, 2015 308,464 $ 13.61 6.07 $ — Forfeited during 2016 (40,914 ) 11.69 — — Granted during 2016 6,000 4.31 9.75 — Balance, September 30, 2016 273,550 $ 13.70 5.27 $ — Exercisable on September 30, 2016 192,394 $ 15.00 5.19 $ — The options granted have a contract term ranging between three and ten years. Options granted typically vest over a four year period, with 25% vesting after one year and the remainder ratably over the remaining three years. Of our options outstanding, 267,550 were outstanding and 192,394 exercisable under the 2013 Plan and 6,000 were outstanding with none exercisable under the 2015 Plan on September 30, 2016.

February 2016 Additional Warrants On February 2, 2016, the Company issued Additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to existing noteholders under the terms of the December Amendments. March 2016 Amendment to 2015 Notes On March 31, 2016, the Company executed the March Amendments with certain investors holding the requisite number of conversion shares and warrant shares underlying the 2015 Notes and April and May Warrants pursuant to the related Securities Purchase Agreements. The March Amendments, described above in Note 8, provided for the issuance of the March Warrants, exercisable for ten shares of the Company’s common stock per $100 of outstanding principal of the 2015 Notes held by each buyer pursuant to the April 2015 and May 2015 Securities Purchase Agreements, each with an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth within the warrants. March Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of the 2015 Notes on March 31, 2016. On August 24, 2016, the March Warrants were amended to reduce the exercise price to $4.00 per share, as described below. August 2016 Warrant Amendments On August 24, 2016 the Company executed amendments to the April and May Warrants, December Warrants, December Offering Warrants, February Warrants and March Warrants, as indicated in the table below. The amendments reduced the exercise price of the warrants to $4.00 per share and removed all remaining net cash settlement provisions in each warrant. For the warrants accounted for as derivative liabilities, the Company marked the warrants to market immediately prior to the change in the strike price to a value of $1,719,000. The removal of the warrant agreement provisions that required derivative accounting resulted in a reclassification of $1,719,000 from derivative liabilities to Paid-in Capital. The reduction in exercise price to $4.00 resulted in an additional discount to the 2015 Notes of $206,000 which will be amortized to interest expense over the expected remaining life of the 2015 Notes. Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2016 consist of: Issue Expiry Number of Exercise Price 2013 Services Warrants—July Jul-13 Jul-18 9,494 $ 37.50 2013 Services Warrants—August Aug-13 Aug-18 729 37.50 2013 Services Warrants—November Nov-13 Nov-18 2,400 50.00 2014 Services Warrants—April(1) Apr-14 Apr-19 13,657 39.00 2014 Services Warrants—September(2) Aug-14 Aug-19 16,000 25.00 2014 PIPE Warrants—September(3) Sept-14 Sept-18 26,500 25.00 2014 Services Warrants—November(4) Nov-14 Nov-18 6,500 25.00 2014 Settlement Warrants—December(5) Dec-14 Dec-19 38,464 25.00 2015 Notes Warrants(6) (14) Apr/May-15 Apr/May-20 219,785 4.00 2015 Services Warrants—May(7) May-15 May-20 5,514 12.50 2015 LOC Guarantee Warrants—November (8) Nov-15 Nov-20 74,000 15.00 2015 Debt Amendment Warrants—December (9), (15) Dec-15 Dec-20 50,000 4.00 2015 PIPE Warrants—December (10), (15) Dec-15 Dec-20 312,500 4.00 2016 Debt Amendment Warrants—February (11), (15) Feb-16 Feb-21 50,000 4.00 2016 Debt Amendment Warrants—March (12), (15) Mar-16 Mar-21 500,000 4.00 2016 Junior Debt Warrants (13) Sep-16 Aug-21 124,999 4.00 Balance outstanding at September 30, 2016 1,450,542 $ 6.50 Warrants exercisable at September 30, 2016 1,376,542 $ 6.04 (1) The 2014 Services Warrants—April were issued for fees incurred in conjunction with the issuance of convertible notes in 2014.

The Company settled all remaining potential legal disputes with all of the remaining investors in the November 2013 private placement on December 15, 2014 by issuing the second tranche of warrants and setting the exercise price of each warrant series issued at $25.00 with no further reset provisions.

The 2013 Plan authorizes us to grant non-qualified stock options and restricted stock purchase rights to purchase up to 420,000 shares of our common stock with vesting to employees (including officers) and other service providers. With the approval of the 2015 Plan described below, as of August 29, 2015, no shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. On July 15, 2015, our board of directors approved the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders on August 28, 2015. The 2015 Plan authorizes us to grant up to 300,000 shares of our common stock and is intended to replace the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. If the 2015 Plan is approved by our stockholders, no additional grants will be made under the 2013 Plan. The 2015 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance awards payable in a combination of cash and company shares. There were no awards granted under the 2015 plan as of December 31, 2015. The 2015 Plan has the following limitations: ● Limitation on terms of stock options and stock appreciation rights ● No repricing or grant of discounted stock options ● Clawback ● Double-trigger acceleration ● Code Section 162(m) Eligibility ● Dividends At December 31, 2015, total unrecognized deferred stock compensation expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 1.0 years for outstanding grants was $2.2 million. The fair value of option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us. The following table presents the weighted-average grant date assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options and stock appreciation rights granted. December 31, 2015 Expected volatility 100-150 % Dividend yield 0.00 % Risk-free interest rate 1.10–2.15 % Expected life (in years) 3.0-6.8 Expected volatility represents the estimated volatility of the shares over the expected life of the options. We have estimated the expected volatility based on the weighted-average historical volatilities of a pool of public companies that are comparable to Ener-Core. We use an expected dividend yield of zero since no dividends are expected to be paid. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is derived from the U.S. treasury interest rates in effect at the date of grant. The expected option life represents the period of time the option is expected to be outstanding. The simplified method is used to estimate the term since we do not have sufficient exercise history to calculate the expected life of the options. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded only for those awards expected to vest. Currently, the forfeiture rate is zero. The rate is adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates in order to recognize compensation cost only for those awards that actually vest. If factors change and different assumptions are employed in future periods, the share-based compensation expense may differ from that recognized in previous periods. Stock-based award activity was as follows: Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Remaining Aggregate Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Options Price Life Value Balance, December 31, 2014 267,257 $ 15.00 6.51 $ 47,000 Forfeited during 2015 (21,033 ) 17.00 — — Granted during 2015 62,240 8.30 — — Balance, December 31, 2015 308,464 $ 13.61 6.07 $ — Exercisable on December 31, 2015 151,576 $ 15.38 5.38 $ — The options granted have a contract term ranging between three and ten years.

The warrants were valued on the issuance date at $11.50 per share in conjunction with the valuation approach used for the initial valuation of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes issued in 2014. (2) The 2014 Services Warrants—September were issued to a consultant in exchange for advisory services with no readily available fair value.
