Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.

This model requires inputs such as expected life, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. The forfeiture rate also impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. While estimates of expected life, volatility and forfeiture rate are derived primarily from the Company’s historical data, the risk-free rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates with similar terms to the expected term of the stock option awards. The fair value of outstanding share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the outstanding options assumed at February 29, 2024: Schedule of Share Based Payments Award Stock Options Valuation Assumptions Assumptions: 2024 Dividend yield 0.00 % Risk-free interest rate 0.19 4.05 % Expected volatility 100.2 122.8 % Expected life (in years) 5 Option activity for the year ended February 29, 2024 was as follows: Schedule of Stock Option Activity Weighted Average Weighted Average Exercise Remaining Aggregate Price Contractual Intrinsic Options ($) Life (Yrs.)
