Note 12 – Stock Options and Warrants Outstanding
The Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan, revised July 2011, permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to 20 million shares of its common stock. The Company believes that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the Company. The plan allows the Company to issue either stock options or common shares.
From time to time, the Company enters into consulting agreements to perform marketing services for the Company as it begins to enter into the production stage for the RevVac™ Safety Syringe. Consultants are obligated under the contract to promote the product within various spheres of influence. These spheres of influence include, but are not limited to, medical product distributors, hospitals, doctors and government agencies.
Consultants are issued options at a discount to the market price at the date of issuance. The amount to be determined for the consulting expense is determined based upon the options issued using the Black-Scholes Model.
During 2013, under the terms of the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan, 3,425,000 options were issued for consulting services exercisable at $0.02~$0.50 per share. The options have a term of 10 days to one year and vest upon issuance. The aggregate fair value of these options equal to $86,066 was calculated using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions: (1) discount rate of 0.10% to 0.18% (2) expected life of 0.03 to 1.06 years (3) expected volatility of 163% to 261% and (4) zero expected dividends.
