The representative’s warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, and expire on July 20, 2026.. On March 31, 2024, pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement entered into on September 28, 2022 with ThinkEquity LLC, the Company issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase up to 143,750 shares of common stock. The warrants will be exercisable at a per share price of $3.4375. There was no warrant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Equity Compensation Plan

 

The Company maintains an equity compensation plan (the “Plan”) under which it may award employees, directors and consultants’ incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards with terms established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which has been appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan. The number of awards under the Plan automatically increased on January 1, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, there were 450,430 shares remaining available for grant under this Plan.

 

Accounting for Stock -Based Compensation

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $426,283 and $482,964, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is included in salaries and wages on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Stock Options

 

Under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan the Company has issued stock options. A stock option grant gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a certain number of shares at a predetermined price for a specific period of time. The Company typically issues options that vest pro rata on a monthly basis over various periods. Under the terms of the Plan, the contractual life of the option grants may not exceed ten years.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant. The Company utilized the following assumptions for option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

               
       Three months ended  
       March 31, 2024  
      2024       2023  
Expected term      5 years         4.94 - 5 years  
Expected average volatility     27 - 46       49 - 50  
Expected dividend yield            
Risk-free interest rate     1.50 –4.45       1.50 – 2.96%  

 

The expected volatility of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock price of comparable boat manufacturing companies. The Company estimated the expected life of the options granted based upon historical weighted average of comparable boat manufacturing companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Department of the Treasury yield curve rates with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company has never paid a dividend, and as such the dividend yield is 0.0%

At March 31, 2024, 304,882 Twin Vee options are unvested and expected to vest over the next four years.

 


Restricted Stock Units

 

Under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan the Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSUs are granted with fair value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the business day of the grant date. An award may vest completely at a point in time (cliff-vest) or in increments over time (graded-vest). Generally, RSUs vest over three years.

Expected average volatility     108 - 113%
