2014 Stock Incentive Plan
The Company's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended ("2014 Plan"), was adopted by its board of directors in December 2013 and subsequently approved by its stockholders in January 2014. The 2014 Plan became effective immediately prior to the closing of the Company's IPO in February 2014 and provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and units, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards, with amounts and terms of grants determined by the Company's board of directors at the time of grant, to the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Currently there are only stock options outstanding under the 2014 Plan, which generally vest over a four-year period at the rate of 25% of the grant vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 6.25% of the grant vesting at the end of each successive three-month period thereafter. Stock options granted under the 2014 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. There were 8.0 million stock options outstanding under the 2014 Plan as of September 30, 2020. There were 4.8 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan as of September 30, 2020.
2009 Stock Incentive Plan
The Company maintains a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated ("2009 Plan"), which provided for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards and units, with amounts and terms of grants determined by the Company's board of directors at the time of grant, to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Upon the closing of its IPO in February 2014, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2009 Plan and all shares (i) available for issuance under the 2009 Plan at such time and (ii) subject to outstanding awards under the 2009 Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised or resulting in any common stock being issued were carried over to the 2014 Plan. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. There were 0.1 million fully vested stock options outstanding under the 2009 Plan as of September 30, 2020.
Out-of-Plan Inducement Grants
From time to time, the Company has granted equity awards to its newly hired executives in accordance with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") employment inducement grant exemption (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)). Such grants are made outside of the 2014 Plan and act as an inducement material to the executive's acceptance of employment with the Company. There were 2.1 million stock options outstanding which were granted as employment inducement awards outside of the 2014 Plan as of September 30, 2020.

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s total stock option activity, including awards granted under the 2014 Plan and 2009 Plan and inducement grants made outside of stockholder approved plans, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
