The maximum term of the options granted under the 2020 Plan is no more than ten years. Awards under the 2020 Plan generally vest at 25 % one year from the vesting commencement date and ratably each month thereafter for a period of 36 months , subject to continuous service. There was no stock-based compensation expense reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as the 2020 Plan was not yet adopted. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 has been reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands): Three Months Six Months Research and development $ 1,154 $ 2,109 General and administrative 11,144 14,832 Total $ 12,298 $ 16,941 Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes RSU activity under the 2020 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2021: Number of Weighted - Average Outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,920,037 $ 18.00 Vested ( 138,461 ) $ 18.00 Outstanding at June 30, 2021 1,781,576 $ 18.00 As of June 30, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for RSUs was $ 23.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years.

Stock Options The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2020 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (in thousands, except share and per share data and years): Number of Weighted - Average Weighted -Average Aggregate Balance at December 31, 2020 615,106 $ 18.00 9.95 $ 9,848 Granted 235,043 $ 44.57 Balance at June 30, 2021 850,149 $ 25.35 9.48 $ 15,199 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2021 850,149 $ 25.35 9.48 $ 15,199 Exercisable at June 30, 2021 7,747 $ 18.00 0.16 $ 189 As of June 30, 2021 , total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for unvested common stock options was $ 12.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 3.4 years. The weighted- average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $ 28.91 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company modified 7,747 stock options under the Transition Agreement (See Note 9). The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option grants were as follows: Six Months Expected volatility 74.76 % Risk-free interest rate 0.98 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % Expected term 5.94 years Expected volatility. As the Company’s common stock does not have a significant trading history, the expected volatility assumption is based on volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry. Risk-free interest rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate assumption on the U.S. Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. Expected dividend yield. The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that it has never paid cash dividends and has no present plans to pay cash dividends. Expected term. For employees, the expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company has minimal historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its vesting period. For nonemployees, the expected term is generally the contractual term of the option. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In December 2020, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the BioAtla, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15 % of their eligible compensation. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 , a total of 833,993 shares and 464,829 shares, respectively, of common stock were authorized for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, from January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2030 by the least of (i) 1.0 % of the total number of common shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year (calculated on a fully diluted basis), (ii) 929,658 common shares or (iii) a number determined by the Company’s board of directors that is less than (i) and (ii). In February 2021, employees began to enroll in the ESPP and the Company’s first offering period commenced. The Company's first ESPP purchase transaction occurred on June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 5,280 shares of common stock under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2021, 828,713 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the ESPP. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was immaterial.
