On March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2024 Plan, effective upon the approval at the 2024 annual meeting. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, Full Value Awards (as defined in the 2024 Plan agreement) and cash incentive awards to employees, consultants and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a ten-year contractual term. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2024 Plan is equal to the sum of 5,100,000 plus any shares represented by awards granted under the prior plan that are forfeited, expire or are canceled after the effective date without delivery of shares of stock.

The Company has stock options, RSUs and PSUs outstanding under the 2010 Plan, 2019 Equity Plan, and the 2024 Plan. As of September 30, 2024, the maximum number of common shares available for future issuance under the Company's plans is 5,179,830.
