Our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by stockholders in May 2018. The Plan authorizes us to issue up to 4.35 million shares of common stock, along with non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance units to our officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants. At June 30, 2019, there were 1.5 million shares available for future grants under this Plan. No more than 1.2 million shares may be used under the Plan as “full value” awards, which include restricted stock and performance units. It is our policy to issue shares from authorized but not issued shares upon the exercise of stock options.

Under the terms of the Plan, each year eligible participants are granted time value restricted stock units (“RSUs”), vesting ratably over a three-year period, and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”), with three-year cliff vesting. Upon vesting, each restricted stock award is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s common stock, with accrued dividends.

On May 16, 2019 the Company granted the following equity awards to our new President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with the 2019 Inducement Grant Plan (the “Inducement Plan”): (i) an initial award consisting of (a) 666,667 PSUs at target, vesting in three approximately equal installments, to the extent the performance metrics are satisfied, during each of three performance periods and (b) 333,333 RSUs, vesting in approximately equal installments on February 28, 2020, 2021 and 2022; (ii) a 2019-2021 PSU grant, with the target number of 316,832 PSUs, which will vest to the extent the performance metrics are satisfied; and (iii) a 2019 RSU grant of 158,416 RSUs, vesting in approximately equal installments on February 28, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The PSU awards may be earned at up to 200% of target depending on the level of achievement of the performance metrics.
