Stock Option Plans

Description of

2016

Equity Incentive Plan

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

(

) years commencing on

January 1, 2017

and ending on (and including)

January 1, 2025,

in an amount equal to

five

percent (

) of the total number of shares authorized under the

2016

Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the

2016

Plan shall terminate on

June 29, 2026.

As of

December 31, 2018,

11,025,000

shares were authorized under the

2016

Plan.

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 under the

2016

Plan generally vest either upon grant or in

two

installments and

may

be conditioned on performance. Performance based options

may

be conditioned upon the attainment of revenue, EDITDA or other financial or performance goals of the Company. 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 under the

2016

Plan 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.

September 6, 2018,

the Company entered into restricted stock agreements (“RSAs”) with its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer intended to provide incentive to the executives to ensure certain economic performance of the Company. The shares issuable under the RSAs were valued as of the grant date at

$0.33

per share. The RSAs provided for the issuance of up to

225,000

performance related shares of the Company's common stock to each of the executives provided certain milestones were met as follows: a)

75,000

performance related shares are subject to individual performance. b) If the Company's

2018

Revenue equals or exceeds

$30

million and the Company’s

2018

EBITDA equals or exceeds

million, the Company would award

75,000

shares of common stock; c) If the Company's

2018

Revenue equals or exceeds

$32

million and the Company’s

2018

EBITDA equals or exceeds

million, the Company would award an additional

75,000

shares of common stock. The restrictions on

1/3

of the awarded performance shares will lapse on the first,

second

and

third

anniversaries of the

2018

Annual Stockholder Meeting, which was held on

June 7, 2018.

Effective

December 31, 2018

the Company had

not

achieved the milestones relating to Revenue and EBITDA and therefore each of the Officers forfeited

of the

225,000

restricted shares that had been issued to each of them.

December 31, 2018

The weighted average fair value (per share) of options granted during the year ended

December 31, 2018

was

$0.23

and

$0.21

for the year ended

December 31, 2017

using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

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

2018

and

2017.

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 period ended
Stock option assumptions	December 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Risk-free interest rate		2.91%		1.81%
Expected dividend yield		0.0%		0.0%
Expected volatility		111.0%		127.1%
Expected life of options (in years)		5		5

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

	Weighted average grant date fair value
	for the year ended December 31,
	2018		2017
Stock options granted during the period	$	0.23	$	0.21

Stock options vested during the period	$	0.22	$	0.20

Stock options forfeited during the period	$	0.19	$	0.13

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares underlying stock options as of

December 31, 2018,

and changes during the year ended

December 31, 2018

is as follows:

	Shares underlying stock options		Weighted average grant date fair value
Nonvested shares at January 1, 2018		4,875,000	$	0.21

Nonvested shares at December 31, 2018		1,682,500	$	0.24

As of

December 31, 2018,

approximately

$267,766

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

1.88

years.
