STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY | NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Equity Incentive Plan On July 10, 2020, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the PetVivo Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 1,000,000 3,000,000 1,483,474 Employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company (or any subsidiary), and non-employee directors of the Company will be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. In the case of consultants and advisors, however, their services cannot be in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction nor directly or indirectly to promote or maintain a market for PetVivo common stock. The Amended Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount, form of payment, any deferral payment, and other terms and conditions of each award. Subject to provisions of the Amended Plan, the Committee may amend or waive the terms and conditions, or accelerate the exercisability, of an outstanding award. The Committee also has the authority to interpret and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the Amended Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors may also exercise the powers of the Committee. The aggregate number of shares of PetVivo common stock available and reserved to be issued under the Amended Plan is 3,000,000 ● the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock granted as an Award to any Non-Employee Director in any one Plan Year will be 10,000 Awards can be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash and other consideration as determined by the Committee. Awards may provide that upon the grant or exercise thereof, the holder will receive cash, shares of PetVivo common stock, other securities or property, or any combination of these in a single payment, installments or on a deferred basis. The exercise price per share of any stock option and the grant price of any stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of PetVivo common stock on the date of the grant. The term of any award cannot be longer than ten years from the date of the grant. Awards will be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger or other business combination, or similar corporate transaction, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits provided under the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan permits the following types of awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards, other stock-based awards, and dividend equivalents.

Stock Options Stock options issued to employees and directors typically vest over three years seven years 662,429 3,595 883,455 1.8 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Annually, we make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, dividend yield, expected term and forfeiture rate. The dividend yield assumption is based on expected annual dividend yield on a grant date. To date, no dividends on common stock have been paid by us. Expected volatility for grants is based on our average historical volatility over a similar period as the expected term assumption used for our options as the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group. We use the “simplified method” to determine the expected term of the stock option grants. We utilize this method because we do not have sufficient public company exercise data in which to make a reasonable estimate. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to estimate fair values of our stock options granted: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE ASSUMPTION Year Ended March 31, 2023 Year Ended March 31, 2022 Expected term 7 7 Expected volatility 111.7 146.9 % 205.0 210.5 % Risk-free interest rate 2.96 4.35 % 1.47 2.14 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Fair value on the date of grant $ 1.87 2.79 $ 1.39 1.99 Our stock option activity for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITY Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share (1) Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value (2) Balance at March 31, 2021 - - - - Granted 195,000 $ 1.56 Balance at March 31, 2022 195,000 $ 1.56 6.9 $ 100,200 Granted 714,849 $ 2.37 Cancelled (25,000 ) $ 2.46 Balance at March 31, 2023 884,849 $ 2.19 6.3 $ 307,750 Options exercisable at March 31, 2023 175,455 (1) The exercise price of each option granted during the period shown above was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
