The plan was terminated by its terms on August 31, 2021 and no new awards will be issued under the 2011 Plan.
In February 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan” and together with the 2011 Plan, the “Option Plans”), which is utilized for employees, corporate officers, directors, consultants and other key persons employed. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, NQSOs, stock grants and other stock-based awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2018 Plan).
Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plans are granted at exercise prices not less than 100% of the estimated fair market value of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The exercise price per share for incentive stock options may not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date for any individual possessing more that 10% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company. Options granted under the Option Plans vest over periods ranging from immediately to four years and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years.
The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2018 Plan as of March 31, 2023 is 52,000,000. As of March 31, 2023, 341,034 of stock options were granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company (including 1 share outside of our plan and 57 shares under our 2011 Plan) and 49,330,234 options were available for future grant under the 2018 Plan.

The fair value of each employee option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, however there were no stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities.
