During 2023, selected senior employees were granted Management Equity Plan (“MEP”) stock options to acquire non-voting shares at a management equity vehicle affiliated with the Company at no cost to the employee. The stock options vest at the later of (a) certification of the attainment of the underlying operating income goal and (b) the exit or liquidity event, with vesting subject to an exit or liquidity event occurring, a two-year cumulative operating income hurdle being achieved over the cumulative two years ending December 31, 2024, and certain other contractual terms being achieved. The weighted average exercise price of the options is $ 0.001and the total number of options granted was 10,000. All of the options were granted in 2023, nonevested in 2023 or 2024. During 2024, 900options were forfeited, leaving an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2024 totalling 9,100.
