2016,

the Company

’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the OmniComm Systems, Inc.

2016

Equity Incentive Plan (the

“2016

Plan”). The

2016

Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units. The

2016

Plan provides for the issuance of up to

10,000,000

shares of our common stock for issuance upon awards granted under the

2016

Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the

2016

Plan shall automatically increase on

January

1st

of each year for a period of

nine

(9)

years commencing on

January

2017

and ending on (and including)

January

2025,

in an amount equal to

five

(5%)

of the total number of shares authorized under the

2016

Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the

The maximum term for any option grant under the

2016

Plan is

ten

years from the date of the grant; however, options granted under the

2016

Plan will generally expire

five

years from the date of grant. Options granted to employees generally vest either upon grant or in

installments. The

first

vesting, which is equal to

50%

of the granted stock options, usually occurs upon completion of

one

full year of employment from the date of grant and the

second

vesting usually occurs on the

second

anniversary of the date of grant. The vesting period typically begins on the date of hire for new employees and on the date of grant for existing employees. The restrictions on restricted shares granted to employees generally lapse in

three

equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant.

Any unvested stock options or restricted shares with restrictions that have not lapsed that are granted under the

2016

Plan are forfeited and expire upon termination of employment.

Basis for Fair Value Estimate of Share-Based Payments

Based on analysis of its historical volatility, the Company expects that the future volatility of its share price is likely to be similar to the historical volatility the Company experienced since the Company

’s commercialization activities were initiated during the

second

half of

2000.

The Company used a volatility calculation utilizing the Company’s own historical volatility to estimate its future volatility for purposes of valuing the share-based payments granted during fiscal

2016

and

2015.

Actual volatility, and future changes in estimated volatility,

may

differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

The Company utilizes the historical data available regarding employee and director exercise activity to calculate an expected life of the options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life in years of options granted under the Plan as described above. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds with the expected term of the option granted.

The fair value of share-based payments was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for grants made during the periods indicated.

	Stock option assumptions for the year ended
Stock option assumptions	December 31, 2016	December 31, 2015
Risk-free interest rate	1.45%	1.20%
Expected dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%
Expected volatility	155.5%	183.8%
Expected life of options (in years)	5	5

The following table summarizes weighted average grant date fair value activity for the Company incentive stock plans:

	Weighted average grant date fair value
	for the year ended December 31,
	2016		2015
Stock options granted during the period	$	0.19	$	0.24

Stock options vested during the period	$	0.21	$	0.17

Stock options forfeited during the period	$	0.28	$	0.26

A summary of the status of the Company

’s non-vested shares underlying stock options as of

December

31,

2016,

and changes during the year ended

December

31,

2016

is as follows:

	Shares underlying stock options		Weighted average grant date fair value
Nonvested shares at January 1, 2016		250,000	$	0.23

Nonvested shares at December 31, 2016		487,500	$	0.20

As of

December

31,

2016,

approximately

$76,846

of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of

2.38

years.
