9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company’s Amended 2013 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU’s, stock bonus awards and performance-based awards. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 3,346,334 of authorized unissued shares reserved and available for issuance upon exercise and conversion of outstanding awards under the Amended 2013 Plan.

 

The stock options are exercisable at no less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, and restricted stock and restricted stock units are issued at a value not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Generally, stock options awarded are vested in equal increments ranging from two to four years on the annual anniversary date on which such equity grants were awarded. The stock options generally have a maximum term of 10 years.

 

The Company recognized Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $361,149 and $557,837, relating to stock options and RSU’s issued to employees, officers, directors and consultants for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognized SG&A expenses of $1,396,302 and $1,744,128, relating to stock options and RSU’s issued to employees, officer, directors and consultants for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants was $1,621,695 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.17 years.
