Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Company's 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "New Plan") became effective
when it was approved by the Company's stockholders on
Purpose. The New Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance awards. The purpose of the New Plan is to provide our directors, officers and other employees and persons who engage in services for us with incentives to maximize stockholder value and otherwise contribute to our success and to enable us to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions of responsibility.
Administration. The New Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which consists solely of two or more "non-employee directors" (as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Compensation Committee may make all decisions and determinations regarding the New Plan as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the New Plan. The Board also has the authority to administer the New Plan and to take all actions that the Compensation Committee is otherwise authorized to take under the New Plan. The terms and conditions of each award made under the New Plan, including vesting requirements, will be set forth consistent with the New Plan in a written agreement with the grantee.
Number of Shares. A total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock are issuable under the New Plan, subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change in our corporate structure or the outstanding shares of common stock. These shares will be used for future awards to eligible persons at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the 1,500,000 shares are sufficient to accomplish the objectives of the New Plan. The New Plan prohibits share recycling. If any award under the New Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited as to any shares, or is tendered or withheld as to any shares in payment of the exercise price of the award or taxes payable with respect to the award or the vesting or exercise thereof, then such unpurchased, forfeited, tendered or withheld shares may not thereafter be available for further awards under the New Plan. A restricted stock and stock option award to an eligible executive under the New Plan for a year cannot exceed 100,000 shares.
Stock Options. The Compensation Committee or the Board may grant incentive stock
options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options. The Compensation Committee also
has the authority to grant options that will become fully vested and exercisable
automatically upon a change in control. The Compensation Committee may not,
however, grant to any one person in any calendar year options to purchase common
stock equal to more than 10% of the total number of shares authorized under the
New Plan, and it may not grant incentive stock options first exercisable in any
calendar year whose underlying shares have a fair market value greater than
Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee may grant restricted stock subject to the conditions and restrictions, and for the duration that it determines in its discretion. The number of shares that may be used for restricted stock or restricted unit grants under the New Plan may not exceed 50% of the total authorized number of Shares pursuant to the New Plan.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights (SARs) subject to the terms and conditions contained in the New Plan. Under the New Plan, the exercise price of an SAR must equal the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the SAR is granted. Upon exercise of an SAR, the grantee will receive shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference between the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the SAR, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the SAR is exercised.

Performance Awards. The Compensation Committee may grant performance awards contingent upon achievement by the grantee or by us of set goals and objectives regarding specified performance criteria over a specified performance cycle. Awards may include specific dollar-value target awards and/or performance units the value of which is established at the time of grant, and/or performance shares the value of which is equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The value of a performance award may be fixed or fluctuate on the basis of specified performance criteria. A performance award may be paid out in cash and/or shares of common stock or other securities.
Eligibility. Our directors, officers and other employees, as well as persons who provide services to us, are eligible for grants under the New Plan.
Amendment, Termination and Expiration. The Board may amend or terminate the New
Plan in its discretion. If not previously terminated by the Board, the New Plan
will expire on
