NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On April 1, 2016, as amended, and on September 1, 2016, the Company issued a total of 400,000 restricted common shares to members of its advisory committee (“Advisors”), valued at $100,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for outside advisory and consulting services pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. One-twelfth (1/12) of the shares will be earned each month. The Company will revalue the shares at each vesting period and recognize expense for the portion of the shares earned. The Company recognized compensation expense of $20,833 and $39,583 under general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

 

On May 1, 2015 the board of directors and stockholders of the Company authorized the adoption and implementation of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. Under the 2015 Plan, as amended on December 22, 2015, an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of our common stock have initially been reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards. The exercise price for each option may not be less than fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and shall vest as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors but shall not exceed a ten-year period.

  

On May 1, 2015 (“Grant Date”), the Company granted to its CEO, options to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2015 Plan, valued at $2,500,000 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The options will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (“First Year Vest”) and the remaining 50% of the shares shall vest in twelve (12) equal installments on the first day of each calendar month following the first anniversary of the Grant Date beginning on June 1, 2016 and ending on June 1, 2017 (“Second Year Vest”), provided that CEO is continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through such applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Option shall fully vest if the Company shall successfully sell all of the shares of its common stock included in the primary offering of such common stock by the Company pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within ninety (90) days of the Grant Date. The First Year Vest options will amortize to expense over a 12 month period beginning May 2015 through April 2016 and the Second Year Vest options will amortize to expense over a 24 month period beginning May 2015 through April 2017. The Company recognized expense of $144,804 and $524,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $969,785 and $871,706 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, within stock based compensation – related party in the accompanying Statements of Operations with the remaining $134,345 to be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

 

Management used the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the options with known inputs for option term exercise price and stock price and assumptions for expected volatility rate; dividend rate; and risk free interest rate. The table summarizes the Black-Scholes assumptions used in the valuation of the options issued:

 

    May 1, 2015  
       
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %
Expected stock-price volatility     35.6 %
Risk-free interest rate     1.87 %
Expected term of options (years)     6  
Stock price   $ 0.25  
Exercise price   $ 0.005  

 

Expected dividend yield. The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock.

 

Expected stock-price volatility. The Company’s our common stock has never been publicly traded, the expected volatility is derived from the average historical volatilities of publicly traded companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to the Company’s business over a period approximately equal to the expected term.

 

Risk-free interest rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate assumption on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock option grants.

 

Expected term of options. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historic exercise behavior, the Company determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its ordinary vesting period.

 

Stock price. Determined from third party transactions through the purchase of inventory or services provided to us by outside consultants.
