Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Grants to Employees and Directors

On December 13, 2018, the stockholders of the Company approved the ̽Ƶapp, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) that provides for the grant of 500,000 shares in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to employees, consultants, officers and directors.
On December 30, 2019, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders and voted amend to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan from 500,000 to 1,100,000 shares. As of January31, 2020, there were 109,352 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted to employees during the period ended.
The Company utilized the simplified method to estimate the expected life for stock options granted to employees. The simplified method was used as the Company does not have sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected life of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for employees and directors during the nine months ended January31, 2020, is presented below:
On December 9, 2019, the Company granted 61,000 options to its directors with an exercise price of $6.92 for services performed for the calendar year 2019. The fair value of these options was approximately $116,000 and was fully recognized for the three months ended January31, 2020.
On August 1, 2019, the Company granted 59,000 options to 26 employees who had been hired during the first quarter ended July 31, 2019. The fair value of these options was approximately $83,000 and will be recognized over 36 month. The exercise price is $3.99.
Effective May 13, 2019, the Company granted a total of 30,000 five years non-qualified stock options which were immediately vested to certain former directors exercisable at $4.12 per share. The fair value of the options was $33,600 and expensed during the three months ended July 31, 2019.
For the three and nine months ended January31, 2020, the Company recorded compensation expense of $805,405 and $1,721,293, respectively, in connection with stock options and restricted stock grants. For the three months ended January31, 2020, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense related to the executive officer target bonus plan of $188,031.
