Stock-Based Compensation In October 2017, our Board of Directors adopted the Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, and consultants.

The 2017 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, and expires ten years after adoption, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. On February 24, 2021, our Board of Directors adopted the Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards (collectively, the “Awards”). Eligible recipients of Awards include employees, directors or independent contractors of the Company or any affiliate of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) will administer the 2021 Plan. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The exercise price per share for the shares to be issued pursuant to an exercise of a stock option will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2021 Plan) of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The 2021 Plan will be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, to be held on May 19, 2021, for their approval and adoption, and a proposal regarding approval of the 2021 Plan has been included in the Company’s proxy statement for that annual meeting.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company granted 7,500 stock options to related parties with an exercise price of $11.00 per share, which vested on issuance. The total grant date fair value was determined to be $28,642. The following is an analysis of the stock option grant activity under the Plan: Stock Options Number Weighted Weighted Outstanding December 31, 2020 2,143,000 $ 3.18 7.81 Granted - - - Exercised - - - Expired or forfeited - - - Outstanding March 31, 2021 2,143,000 $ 3.18 7.56 Nonvested Options Shares Weighted- Nonvested on December 31, 2020 973,000 $ 2.28 Granted - - Vested (66,500 ) 3.66 Expired or forfeited - - Nonvested on March 31, 2021 906,500 $ 2.18 The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to options issued and vesting of $211,579 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. The remaining value to be expensed is $1,569,906 with a weighted average vesting term of 1.61 years as of March 31, 2021. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to options issued and vesting of $27,799 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Warrants For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the fair value of each warrant granted was estimated using the assumption ranges and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows: Exercise price $ 4.00 Expected dividend yield 0 % Risk free interest rate 0.17%-0.42 % Expected life in years 3.00-5.00 Expected volatility 154%-159 % The risk-free interest rate assumption for warrants granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term of warrants. The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for warrants granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future warrant grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility. The dividend yield assumption for warrants granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes warrant forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates. A summary of warrant issuances are as follows: Warrants Number Weighted Weighted Outstanding December 31, 2020 5,799,146 $ 5.05 4.00 Granted 875,000 4.00 3.00 Exercised (1,163,556 ) 3.21 - Expired or forfeited (46,875 ) 4.00 - Outstanding March 31, 2021 5,463,715 $ 3.96 3.54 Nonvested Warrants Shares Weighted- Nonvested on December 31, 2020 320,000 $ 3.69 Granted 875,000 4.00 Vested (935,000 ) 4.06 Expired or forfeited - - Nonvested on March 31, 2021 260,000 $ 3.04 The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to warrants issued and vesting of $89,883 and $82,638 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, which is included in general and administrative in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
