Answer from 2025 FDD Document

The Parent issues equity incentive grants under the 2022 Stock Option Plan (the "2022 Plan"). Prior to the 2022 Plan, equity incentive grants were issued under the 2013 Stock Option Plan (collectively with the 2022 Plan, the "Plans"). The 2022 Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase common stock of the Parent and was established to attract and retain eligible employees, directors, and consultants and to provide an additional incentive to each eligible employee, director, and consultant to work to increase the value of the Parent's common stock. The Plans are administered by the Board. The Board has the authority to determine the amount of options granted to any individual, the dates on which each option will become exercisable, and the exercise price of all options subject to certain limitations in the Plans. As of December 29, 2024, there were 12,929 options available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

The option vesting periods range from immediate vesting to a five-year vesting period, with accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control under certain circumstances, as defined in the Plans. In addition, certain options have vesting requirements based upon achieving certain operating results. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant or in the event of a change in control under certain circumstances, as defined in the Plans.
