NOTE 7—Stock-based Compensation

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Option Plan”), 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Option Plan”) and the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in place.

 

The 2019 Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options (“Options”), stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), restricted stock awards (“RSA”), and restricted stock units (“RSU”) to employees, nonemployee directors, and consultants of the Company. Option awards granted under the 2019 Option Plan generally become exercisable ratably over a two-year or four-year period following the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, certain awards may be exercisable immediately at the date of grant but are subject to a repurchase right, under which the Company may buy back any unvested shares at their original exercise price in the event of an employee’s termination prior to full vesting. All other awards are exercisable only to the extent vested. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares that had been early exercised that were subject to the Company’s repurchase right at that date. The exercise price or strike price for Options and SARs granted under the 2019 Option Plan must generally be at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the 2019 Option Plan to ten percent or greater stockholders must be at least equal to 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors, and are not exercisable after five years from the date of grant.

 

The Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the ESPP and the 2019 Option Plan in March 2019 and April 2019, respectively, each of which became effective in connection with the IPO. As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,434 shares, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, of common stock available to be issued under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP automatically increases on January 1 of each calendar year for 10 years, starting January 1, 2020, and ending on, and including, January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31st of the prior calendar year, and (ii) 50,000 shares, unless the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors determines prior to such date that there will be a lesser increase, or no increase. The increase under the ESPP for both 2025 and 2024 was 277 shares, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. During 2025 and 2024, there were no purchases under the ESPP.

 

As of December 31, 2025, there were 4,035 shares of common stock available to be issued under the 2019 Option Plan, plus the number of shares subject to outstanding stock options or other stock awards that were granted under the 2012 Option Plan that are forfeited, terminated, expired or are otherwise not issued. Additionally, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Option Plan automatically increases on January 1 of each calendar year for 10 years, starting January 1, 2020 and ending on and including January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31st of the prior calendar year, unless the Board of Directors or compensation committee determines prior to the date of increase that there will be a lesser increase, or no increase. The automatic increase under the 2019 Option Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 13,844 shares and 11,967 shares, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, respectively. In June 2024, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2019 Option Plan by 16,666 shares, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 20, 2024.

* The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the common stock on the balance sheet date.

 

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised to purchase common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025 was zero.

 

As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $499 of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.25 years.

 

There were no stock options granted for 2025. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $103.68, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including the Company’s estimates of the fair value of common stock on the date of grant, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expectations regarding future dividends. Stock-based compensation also reflects the Company’s estimate regarding the portion of awards that may be forfeited.

 

 

The following describes the key inputs used by the Company:

 

Fair Value of Common Stock—The Company measures equity classified stock-based awards granted to employees, consultants, and directors based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The majority of stock option grants are considered to be “plain vanilla” and thus the Company determines the expected term using the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

 

Expected Volatility—The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatility of the Company’s common stock since its IPO in May 2019.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest yield in effect at the date of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

 

Dividend Rate—The expected dividend rate was assumed to be zero, as the Company has not previously paid dividends on common stock and has no current plans to do so.

 

Forfeiture Rate—Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. Historically, the Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on an analysis of actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover behavior, and other factors.

 

Restricted Stock Units:

 

The Company accounts for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued to employees and non-employees at fair value, based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs are expensed over the vesting period, and the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. RSUs, primarily issued as incentives, generally vest annually over one to four years.

 

The following table summarizes the RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 and has been adjusted retrospectively for the Reverse Stock Split:

As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately no unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSUs.
