On April 27, 2016, the Company’s stockholders adopted the FalconStor Software, Inc. 2016 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and initially provided for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of options or upon the grant of shares with such restrictions as determined by the Compensation Committee to the employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company. Exercise prices of the options must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted have terms of ten years. Shares of restricted stock have the terms and conditions set by the Board of Directors and are forfeitable until the terms of the grant have been satisfied. The 2016 Plan replaces the Company's 2006 Incentive Stock Plan.

On June 30, 2016, the total shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan totaled 1,500,000. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, if, on July 1st of any calendar year in which the 2016 Plan is in effect, the number of shares of stock as to which options, restricted shares and restricted stock units may be granted under the 2016 Plan is less than five percent (5%) of the number of outstanding shares of stock, then the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan is automatically increased so that the number equals five percent (5%) of the shares of stock outstanding. In no event shall the number of shares of stock subject to the 2016 Plan in the aggregate exceed twenty million shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2016 Plan. On July 1, 2016, the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock totaled 43,332,111. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the total shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan thus increased 666,606 to 2,166,606 shares available for issuance as of July 1, 2016.
