Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), employees are able to acquire shares of common stock at 85% of the price at the end of each current quarterly plan term. The most recent term ended June 30, 2021. The ESPP is considered compensatory under current Internal Revenue Service rules. At June 30, 2021, after giving effect to the shares issued as of that date, 59,303 shares remain available for future issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP was suspended effective March 31, 2021 due to conditions of the Pineapple Merger Agreement.

2011 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan

On March 28, 2011 the Board adopted and on May 19, 2011 the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2011 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“2011 Incentive Plan”). The 2011 Incentive Plan authorizes incentive awards to officers, key employees and non-employee directors in the form of options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units (“deferred stock”), performance cash units, and other awards in stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash. The 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended, allows the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.

At June 30, 2021, 526,913 shares have been issued under the 2011 Incentive Plan, 1,168,630 shares are subject to currently outstanding options, deferred stock awards, and unvested restricted stock units, and 804,457 shares are eligible for grant under future awards.
