NOTE 7 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to employees. As of March 31, 2024, the Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 stock-based awards. There are 1,220,000 stock-based awards available to grant under the Plan at March 31, 2024.
In July 2021, MiT Inc. entered into an Exchange Agreement with MiT LLC pursuant to which MiT Inc. agreed to exchange membership units for 2,350,000 shares of Common Stock representing 41.4% of the equity as of such date on a fully diluted basis for no consideration. The shares were exchanged as part of the Exchange Agreement with the Company as described in Note 1.
In July 2021, the Company granted options to non-employee directors to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The options vest one year from the date of grant, expire ten years from the date of grant and had an aggregate grant date fair value of $244,200, which was recognized ratably over the vesting period. On May 26, 2023, the Board of Directors cancelled 150,000 options consisting of 50,000 options each to John Stiska, Katherine Crothall and Scott Anderson with an exercise price of $3.00. In its place, the Board granted 150,000 options consisting of 50,000 options each with an exercise price of $1.10 vesting immediately to John Stiska, Katherine Crothall and Scott Anderson. In addition to the director options, the Board granted CFO William Greene 100,000 options with an exercise price of $1.10 with 25% vesting immediately the remainder vesting at 25% per year thereafter. These options, which were the only options granted during the year ended June 30, 2023, had a grant-date fair value of $1.10 per share. The Company recognized compensation expense for stock option awards of approximately $113,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. None of these potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The Company recognized $5,000 and $15,000 in compensation expense for stock options during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.
On March 6, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Moving iMage Technologies, Inc.

At March 31, 2024, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards and no option grants during the period.
The estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. No options were granted during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024. The following weighted average assumptions were used for option grants during the nine months ended March 31, 2023:
