Equity Incentive Plans Equity Incentive 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 (“Earn Out Plan”), and the New Leafly 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which are discussed below. There were no options or other equity awards granted under the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
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 are 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). No awards have been granted under this plan as of the date of this filing.
2018 Plan
The 2018 Plan became effective on April 17, 2018. The 2018 Plan terminated upon closing of the Business Combination in 2022, but then outstanding options under the 2018 Plan remain outstanding pursuant to their terms, with adjustments to the number of shares and exercise prices to reflect the terms of the Business Combination. The material terms of the 2018 Plan are:
Our compensation committee of the board of directors administers the 2018 Plan.
Options under the 2018 Plan were granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.
In the event of a merger or other consolidation relating to the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets, all then-outstanding option would be treated as set forth in the agreement governing such transaction.
With limited exceptions, options under the 2018 Plan are generally non-transferable prior to vesting unless otherwise determined by the plan administrator and are exercisable only by the participant during his or her lifetime.
Stock option activity under the 2018 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was as follows:

Earn Out Plan
The Earn Out Plan became effective immediately upon closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Earn Out Plan, approximately 571 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees and certain other eligible parties in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). These RSUs will vest if the Company achieves certain thresholds prior to the third anniversary of the merger. No RSUs have been awarded under the Earn Out Plan as of March 31, 2022.

Option Modification
Concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination, the vesting provisions of certain stock options previously granted in 2021 to our Chief Executive Officer to purchase 2,917 shares of common stock were modified, and a corresponding charge of $1,366 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to general and administrative expenses and additional paid-in capital. The original award included the following vesting provisions:
Liquidity Event Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest upon the earlier of (a) the closing of the Initial Public Offering of the Company's common stock or (b) a change in control, provided the recipient remains in continuous services.
Milestone Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest one-third each upon the achievement of the three annual revenue targets of $75,000, $150,000 and $300,000, provided the recipient remains in continuous service.
The modified vesting provisions are as follows:
Liquidity Event Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest as follows, provided the recipient remains in continuous service: 50% upon the closing of the Business Combination and 50% upon the earlier of (i) the Company's achievement of a $1,000,000 market capitalization for any 20 days during a 30-day period on or before the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination (the "Market Cap Milestone") or (ii) a change in control.
Milestone Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest upon the achievement of the following milestones, provided that the recipient remains in continuous service:
First Milestone: 50% of the total number of shares subject to the stock options will vest if the Company's gross revenue for the year ending December 31, 2022 equals or exceeds $65,000. A pro rata amount vests in the event that the Company's gross revenue equals or exceeds 90% of the revenue target.
Second Milestone: 50% of the total number of shares subject to the stock options will vest if the Company's gross revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023 equals or exceeds $101,000. A pro rata amount vests in the event that the Company's gross revenue equals or exceeds 90% of the revenue target.
In the event the Second Milestone is achieved, any unvested portion of the stock option subject to the First Milestone will fully vest.
In the event the Market Cap Milestone is achieved, any unvested portion of the Milestone Option will fully vest.
The date of vesting for the Milestone Option will be the earlier of (i) the date following the Company's filing with the SEC of its Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year in which the applicable revenue target was attained or, (ii) the date of the Market Cap Milestone is achieved.
All shares subject to the Milestone Option will vest immediately upon a change in control.
The Milestone Option will remain outstanding unless and until the last possible time that the Second Milestone can be achieved, the Market Cap Milestone can be achieved, or a change in control may occur during the term of the Milestone Option award, subject to the recipient's continued service.
