Stock-based Compensation

8.Stock-Based Compensation 

On August 8, 2018, the Board and stockholders holding a majority of our voting power approved the “RocketFuel Blockchain, Inc., 2018 Stock Incentive Plan,” which plan enables us to make awards that qualify as performance-based compensation. We have reserved 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance in connection with awards under the plan.

On August 8, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Bennett J. Yankowitz, our chief financial officer and a director, pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, these options are exercisable immediately on the date of grant at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and are exercisable for a term of 10 years from the date of grant. In determining the fair value of the stock option, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model having the following assumptions: i) stock option exercise price of $3.00; ii) fair market value of our common stock of $4.00, which was based on available valuation factors made available to us at that time of the date of grant; iii) expected term of option of 7 years; iv) expected volatility of our common stock of approximately 40%; v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 2.80%. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation of $1,100,350 on the date of grant.
