NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

On July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of Q2P approved the Founders Stock Option Plan (“Founders Plan”) and the 2014 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”), collectively the “Option Plans”. The Option Plans were developed to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company may be granted incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase restricted common stock of the Company. On February 25, 2016, to accommodate the appointment of new Board members and additional incentive stock options and stock grants to key employees of the Company, the Board approved the 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which allowed for an additional 4 million shares of common stock, stock options, stock rights (restricted stock units), or stock appreciation rights to be granted by the Board in its discretion.

In May 2017, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board member and 400,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board of Advisor Member. The options vest one-half immediately and the balance in 6 months, with a 10-year term and exercisable at $0.21 per share. The options were valued at $96,800 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model, and as shown in the table detailing the calculation of fair value below), based on an exercise price of $0.21 per share and with a maturity life of 5.25 years.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the charge to the consolidated statements of operations for the amortization of stock option grants awarded under the Option Plans and 2016 Plan and for warrants was $236,149.

A summary of the common stock options issued under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan for the period from December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2017 follows:

The vested and exercisable options at period end follows:

The fair value of new stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was calculated using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s own common stock. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized as the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options was calculated using the alternative simplified method codified as ASC 718 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.
