Equity Incentive and Other Plans

NOTE 14 — Equity Incentive and Other Plans

The Company currently has four equity plans: the New Leafly 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the Legacy Leafly 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), the New Leafy Earn-Out Plan (the “Earn-Out Plan”), and the New Leafly 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Activity under the 2021 Plan and the ESPP are detailed below. There were no options or other equity awards granted under the 2018 Plan or the Earn-Out Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Plan

The 2021 Plan became effective immediately upon closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, 4,502 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance. During the term of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares of common stock thereunder automatically increases on each January 1, commencing on January 1, 2023, and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (i) 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year and (ii) 4,502 shares (adjusted pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan). Effective January 1, 2023, 4,416 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2021 Plan and 4,601 remained available at June 30, 2023.

2022 Awards

In August 2022 and October 2022, the compensation committee of the Board and an authorized executive of the Company, as applicable, granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 102 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.98 per share and granted an aggregate of 2,560 restricted stock units (”RSUs”) and performance stock units (”PSUs”). Of the PSUs granted, 683 were market-based awards made to executives with a grant date fair value of $0.04 per share with vesting based on achievement of a $1.0 billion market cap by February 4, 2026, and 137 were performance awards made to executives with a grant date fair value of $0.81 per share with vesting based in part on achievement of a fiscal year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA target, which was achieved. Prior to such grants, no grants had been made under the 2021 Plan. Leafly’s compensation committee approved the vesting of 137 PSUs awarded in 2022, which vested based on the achievement of the Company’s 2022 Adjusted EBITDA target, on March 13, 2023.

2023 Awards

Leafly’s compensation committee approved the grant of 631 annual incentive plan RSUs on March 14, 2023, which vested over four months. See Note 19 for equity awards subsequent to June 30, 2023.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted under the 2021 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Includes 1,416 and 1,056 awards accounted for as service-based and market-based options, respectively, that are vested, that the Company currently deems probable of vesting, or in the case of market-based options, that the Company is expensing so long as the respective service conditions are met. The market-based options will vest only if the price of the Company's common stock reaches a $1 billion market capitalization target for any 20 days during a 30-day period on or before February 4, 2026.
