In connection with the 2017 Merger, the Company assumed ApolloMed’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises under the 2013 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, there were no shares available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.
In connection with the 2017 Merger, the Company assumed ApolloMed’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. In addition, shares that are subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 2013 Plan, but that ordinarily would have been restored to such plans reserve due to award forfeitures and terminations, were rolled into and become available for awards under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. The 2015 Plan was approved by ApolloMed’s stockholders at ApolloMed’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders that was held in September 2016. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, there were approximately 1.7 million, 0.1 million and 0.5 million shares available for future grants under the 2015 Plan, respectively.
