NOTE 10. COMPENSATION PLANS

Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2019, we adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). In August 2021, we adopted, and our shareholders approved, the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2019 Plan”), which amends and restates the 2019 Plan in its entirety. At our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 4, 2022, stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Second Amended 2019 Plan”) which, among other things, increased the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Amended 2019 Plan. Following the effect of the Reverse Stock Splits, the total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance is 10,000 shares.

The Second Amended 2019 Plan provides eligible participants with compensation opportunities in the form of cash and equity incentive awards. The Second Amended 2019 Plan is designed to enhance our ability to attract, retain and motivate our employees, directors, and executive officers, and incentivizes them to increase our long-term growth and equity value in alignment with the interests of our stockholders.

On June 2, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a third amendment and restatement of the 2019 Plan (the “Third Amended Plan”). The Third Amended Plan, among other things, increases the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Second Amended 2019 Plan by 19,078 shares to an aggregate of 29,078 shares. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the additional shares authorized under the Third Amended Plan.
