The Company has a 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, under which the Company granted restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, performance units, performance shares, and options to purchase shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2025, awards with respect to 150,608 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2014 Plan.

The Company has an Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2023 Plan, that provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the Company’s employees and any parent and subsidiary corporation’s employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to its employees, directors and consultants and its parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants.

As of March 31, 2025, awards with respect to 2,569,074 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding, and 968,219 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2023 Plan. The shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan will be increased by any shares returned to the 2014 Plan as a result of expiration or termination of awards.

The Company previously granted restricted stock units to induce an employee to accept employment with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). As of March 31, 2025, awards with respect to 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding pursuant to such inducement grant.

Securities purchase agreement

On January 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Yuwell (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited, or the Investor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuwell, pursuant to which the Investor purchased 2,626,425 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $10.36, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $27,210, or the Private Placement. The closing of the Private Placement took place on February 21, 2025.

Stock incentive awards

The Company grants restricted stock units, or RSUs, under the 2014 and 2023 Plans and made one inducement grant of RSUs in 2024. RSUs vest either based solely on the satisfaction of time-based service conditions or on the satisfaction of time-based service conditions combined with performance criteria. RSUs are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s services to the Company terminate before vesting.

RSUs granted with only time-based service vesting conditions generally vest over three-year service periods, as defined in the terms of each award. RSUs that vest based on the satisfaction of time-based service conditions combined with performance criteria generally vest over a three-year service and performance period, based on performance and/or market conditions established at the time of the award. The portion of the RSU award that is earned may equal or be more or less than the targeted number of shares subject to the RSU award depending on whether the performance criteria are met.
