Stockholders’ Equity

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase

On October 25, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 million of its common stock under Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases made pursuant to this authorization will be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with the Rule 10b-18. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. On January 9, 2019, VirTra’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 million be allocated for the repurchase of VirTra’s stock under the existing 10b-18 plan. The stock repurchase program was suspended as a result of interim rulings for public-company recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act. The stock repurchase suspension remained in effect until the PPP loan was forgiven on July 20, 2021, and has continued to remain in effect.

Treasury Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased no additional treasury shares.

Non-qualified Stock Options

The Company has periodically issued non-qualified stock options to key employees, officers and directors under a stock option compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2009. Terms of option grants are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are generally seven years. Upon the exercise of these options, the Company expects to issue new authorized shares of its common stock. The following table summarizes all non-qualified stock options as of:

	June 30, 2022					June 30, 2021
	Number of Stock			Weighted Exercise		Number of Stock			Weighted Exercise
	Options			Price		Options			Price
Options outstanding, beginning of year		112,500		$	3.51		164,167		$	3.13
Granted		-			-		-			-
Redeemed		(17,500	)		2.55		(17,500	)		1.21
Exercised		(5,000	)		2.55		(5,000	)		1.21
Expired / terminated		-			-		-			-
Options outstanding, end of period		90,000		$	3.76		141,667		$	3.43
Options exercisable, end of period		90,000		$	3.76		141,667		$	3.43

The Company did not have any non-vested stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The weighted average contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 7 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $56,700 and $557,707, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised and redeemed during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $141,272 and $27,315, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company received payments related to the exercise of options in the amount of $4,750 and $2,450, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that have an exercise price lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Options with an exercise price above the fair value of the Company’s common stock are considered to have no intrinsic value.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

Through June 30, 2022, 224,133, 288,889, and 168,090 restricted stock awards and 14,057 and 10,543 restricted shares have been granted under the Equity Plan to the Company’s Co-CEO’s and COO, respectively.

Common stock activity

On April 11, 2022, the Company issued Mr. Givens a signing bonus of 64,815 shares of common stock, valued at $5.40 per share for a total value of $350,001, which are restricted from transfer until the earlier of: i) 12 months of employment having lapsed or ii) the Company terminating employment with Mr. Givens without cause.

Mr. Givens was also granted 288,889 performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to VirTra’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Beginning on the last business day of August 2022, a tranche of restricted stock units, having an approximate value of $40,000, based on current grant day prices, may vest if the Company has achieved net profit for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 of at least $2,500,000. For every $500,000 earned in excess of $2,500,000 another tranche will vest. If the maximum net profit of $7,000,000 is achieved, ten tranches would vest. Similarly, on the last business day of August 2023, a tranche of restricted stock units may vest if the Company has achieved a net profit of at least $3,000,000, with the potential to have additional tranches vest up to a maximum of $9,000,000 in net profit. This vesting arrangement continues with the last business day of August 2024, with the minimum net profit threshold being $3,500,000 and the maximum net profit being $11,000,000.

The vesting schedule notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to declare the vesting of any number of restricted stock units should the Company experience unusual results of operations, such as falling below the net profit threshold one year and exceeding the maximum net profit the following year, so long as the total number of restricted stock units declared to be vested does not exceed the amount awarded. Additionally, while a maximum net profit per year has been set for allocation of the available shares at this time, it is very possible that the Company will exceed these levels during the next 3 years and if such performance occurs, the Compensation Committee will meet to determine if additional compensation is in the best interests of the Company at that time.

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares (the “RDO Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a price of $6.00 per share in a registered director offering (the “Offering”). The RDO Shares were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238624), which was filed by the Company with the SEC on May 22, 2020 and subsequently declared effective on June 2, 2020, and a related prospectus.

The Company also entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) on March 31, 2021 with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), pursuant to which Roth agreed to serve as placement agent for the issuance and sale of the RDO Shares. The Company agreed to pay Roth an aggregate fee equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the transaction. The Company also agreed to pay Roth a reimbursement for legal fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $35,000.

Roth acted as the lead placement agent in the Offering. Lake Street Capital Markets acted as co-placement agent for the Offering. Maxim Group LLC acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Offering.

A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the Offering, dated March 31, 2021, was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021.

On April 5, 2021, the Company closed the Offering. The total gross proceeds of the Offering were $18.0 million, before deducting the placement agents’ fees and other estimated Offering expenses which totalled $1,205,000.
