Equity Compensation Plans

9. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has several share-based incentive plans: the 2001 Stock Option Plan (2001 Plan), the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (2005 Plan), the Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (2014 Plan) and the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

2001 Plan, 2005 Plan and 2014 Plan

Neither the 2001 Plan nor 2005 Plan is currently used for granting incentives. The Company granted awards under the 2005 Plan until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which stockholders adopted the 2014 Plan. Pursuant to its terms, the 2014 Plan supersedes and replaces the 2005 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options to employees and any parent or subsidiary’s employees, and may grant nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and any parent or subsidiary’s employees, directors and consultants. The administrator (currently the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) has the power to determine the terms of any awards, including the exercise price of options, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercisability of the awards and the form of consideration. As of March 31, 2015 8,949 shares of common stock had been reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

Options granted under the plans generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted from the 2005 Plan and 2014 Plan generally vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary date of the grant and ratably each month thereafter over the following three years. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2005 Plan and 2014 Plan generally vest 25% annually over four years from date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During 2008 the Company established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which is available to eligible employees as defined in the ESPP. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased at a discount (currently 15%) of the lesser of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day or the last trading day of the offering period. The offering period (currently six months) and the offering price are subject to change. Participants may not purchase more than $25 of the Company’s common stock in a calendar year and, effective January 1, 2014, may not purchase more than 3 shares during an offering period. Beginning on January 1, 2009 and on the first day of each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the ESPP, the number of shares available for sale under the ESPP shall be increased by the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the close of business on the last business day of the prior calendar year, not to exceed 600 shares, or (ii) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2015 there were 578 shares available for future issuance under the ESPP.
