STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK WARRANTS

9.STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK WARRANTS:

 

The Company has a stock option plan under which options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted to certain officers, directors and service providers.  

 

In February 2007, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”).  The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,158,333 of the Company's common shares (adjusted for reverse stock split), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX") and is subject to a limitation on the number of options a company may have. The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified options as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The Company's previous option plan terminated in 2011, when all granted stock options were exercised, expired or canceled.  In December 2011, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”).  The 2011 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,250,000 of the Company's common shares, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX") and is subject to a limitation on the number of options a company may have. The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified options as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
