Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation In March 2020, the board of directors of POINT Biopharma Inc. approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). The 2020 EIP provided for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of POINT Biopharma Inc. Effective as of June 30, 2021, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors adopted the POINT Biopharma Global Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”) to replace the 2020 EIP and allow the Company to grant equity and equity-based incentive awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company assumed the outstanding equity awards under the 2020 EIP and each outstanding option to acquire common shares of POINT Biopharma Inc. (whether vested or unvested) under the 2020 EIP was substituted with a substantially equivalent option to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company based on the conversion ratio for the POINT Biopharma Inc. common shares in the Business Combination and remains outstanding under the 2020 EIP. No further grants may be made under the 2020 EIP. The Company concluded that the replacement stock options issued in connection with the Business Combination did not require accounting for effects of the modification under the ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) as it was concluded that (a) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award was modified, (b) there are no changes to the vesting conditions of the award, and (c) there is no change to the classification of the award. The Company recorded $222,135 to research and development expense and $125,982 to general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2021 (September 30, 2020 — $nil to research and development expense and $403,997 to general and administrative expenses). The Company recorded $1,650,804 to research and development expense and $281,015 to general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (September 30, 2020 — $nil to research and development expense and$1,619,048 to general and administrative expenses). The Company did not recognize a tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the Company had net operating losses carryforwards and recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The following table summarizes the activity relating to the Company’s stock options. The below stock option figures are presented giving effect to a retroactive application of the Business Combination which resulted in a replacement of the previous POINT Biopharma Inc. stock options with stock options of the Company, as described above, at a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59:1. In addition, the exercise price for each replacement stock option is also adjusted using the ratio of approximately 3.59:1.
