Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In November 2015, the Company adopted the Digerati Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The Plan is intended to permit the Company to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the terms of any grants under the Plan. Exercise prices of all stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of common stock as of the date of grant. The stock options, restricted common stock, non-restricted common stock, and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.

During the six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not issue any new stock options.
