Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan
Prior to the IPO, the Company historically granted stock-based compensation awards under its Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provided for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to qualified employees, nonemployee directors, and consultants. Options granted under the 2018 Plan generally expire within 10 years from the date of grant, vest over four years and are exercisable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The RSUs vest upon the satisfaction of both a service condition and a liquidity event condition. The service condition for the RSUs is generally satisfied over a four-year vesting period. The liquidity event vesting condition for the RSUs was satisfied in connection with the IPO.
The 2018 Plan was terminated in March 2024. Any shares of the Company’s Common Stock that would have otherwise returned to the 2018 Plan as a result of forfeiture, expiration, cancellation, termination or net issuances of awards thereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that arose upon vesting or settlement of awards in connection with the IPO, will be returned to the share reserve under the 2024 Plan. All future equity grants will be made pursuant to the 2024 Plan.
2024 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In March 2024, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2024 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”), which became effective on March 19, 2024, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 related to the IPO. Under the 2024 Plan, the Company initially reserved 12,362,662 shares of the Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The 2024 Plan provides for annual automatic increases in the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved thereunder on January 1, 2025 and each January 1 thereafter, by 5% of the issued and outstanding number of shares of Common Stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.
2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2024, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which became effective on March 19, 2024, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 related to the IPO. The Company initially reserved 3,090,666 shares of the Common Stock for future issuance. The number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2025 through January 1, 2034, by the lesser of (i) 3,090,666 shares of common stock, (ii) 1% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31st, or (iii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.
Under the ESPP, participants can purchase the Company’s Common Stock using payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of their salary. Participants will be granted the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the closing price on the first day of the applicable offering under the ESPP or, for the first offering period, the “Price to Public” set forth on the cover page for the Prospectus or (ii) the closing price on the last day of the applicable offering period under the ESPP. No participant has the right to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount, when aggregated with purchase rights under all of the Company’s employee stock purchase plans that are also in effect in the same calendar year(s), that has a fair market value of more than $25,000, determined as of the first day of the applicable offering period, for each calendar year in which that right is outstanding. In addition, no participant is permitted to purchase more than 3,000 shares during any applicable offering period. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no shares issued under the ESPP.
