Note 16. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Purchase Program

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has two equity incentive plans: the 2006 Stock Plan (“2006 Plan”) and the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).

In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Plan, which provided for the granting of stock options to executives, employees, and other service providers under terms and provisions established by the Board of Directors. The Company granted non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”) under the 2006 Plan until May 2015, when it was terminated as to future awards, although it continues to govern the terms of options that remain outstanding and were issued under the 2006 Plan. The 2015 Plan became effective upon the Company’s IPO in May 2015 and all shares that were reserved, but not issued, under the 2006 Plan were assumed by the 2015 Plan. Upon effectiveness, the 2015 Plan had 154,387 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance, which included 10,637 that were transferred to and assumed by the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for automatic annual increases in shares available for grant. In addition, shares subject to awards under the 2006 Plan that are forfeited or canceled will be added to the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), NSOs, restricted stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of equity compensation, all of which may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants. The exercise price for ISOs and NSOs will be granted at a price per share not less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options granted generally vest over a four-year period; however, the options granted in the third quarter of 2018 vest over two-year period, vesting monthly on a pro-rated basis. Options granted, once vested, are generally exercisable for up to 10 years, after grant to the extent vested.

In June 2019, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2015 Plan for a one-time increase to the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2015 Plan by 120,000 shares. On May 17, 2021, upon completion of the Arcadia Wellness transaction, the Company granted 248,000 inducement stock option pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On May 28, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the issuance of shares upon exercise of these inducement stock options. The inducement options grants have been issued outside of the 2015 Plan, but the options are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 1,596,209 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan, of which 250,254 shares of common stock are available for future grant. As of

December 31, 2021, a total of 8,240 and 1,345,955 options are outstanding under the 2006 and 2015 Plans, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 a total of 68,000 inducement options are outstanding.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock determined by our Board of Directors for each of the respective periods. The intrinsic value of options exercisable was $0 for both years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation grants that will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 3.00 years.

On December 14, 2021, Matt Plavan provided notice to the Company of his resignation as Arcadia’s president, chief executive officer and director, effective as of December 31, 2021. On December 19, 2021, Arcadia and Mr. Plavan entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) which provided that the vesting of all unvested options previously issued to Mr. Plavan accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement. In addition, the Separation Agreement extends the post-termination exercise period of the accelerated options from 90 days to up to two and one-half years. The stock compensation expense related to the modification of Mr. Plavan’s stock options was $154,000 and recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021.

In determining the fair value of the stock-based awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Expected Term—The expected term is the estimated period of time outstanding for stock options granted and was estimated based on a simplified method allowed by the SEC, and defines the term as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all open employee awards.

Expected Volatility—The historical volatility data was computed using the daily closing prices for the Company’s shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of the stock-based awards.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate of U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturities on the date the options were granted.

Expected Dividend—The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts to common stockholders.

The fair value of stock option awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumption:

The weighted-average, estimated grant date fair value of employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2.41 and $3.80, respectively. The Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.0 million of compensation expense for stock options awards for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) became effective on May 14, 2015. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of up to 15% of their eligible compensation through payroll deductions, subject to any plan limitations. After the first offering period, which began on May 14, 2015 and ended on February 1, 2016, the ESPP provides for six-month offering periods, and at the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period. As of December 31, 2021, the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP is 111,722. The ESPP provides for automatic annual increases in the shares available for purchase beginning on January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2021, 50,245 shares had been issued under the ESPP. The Company recorded $14,000 and $47,000 of ESPP related compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
