Share incentive
plans:
In
2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an Employee Shares Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Under the 2016 Plan,
options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The
2016 plan was terminated in 2021, although option awards outstanding as of that date will continue in full force in accordance with the
terms under which they were granted.
In
2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new Share Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). According to the 2021 Plan,
share awards, options to purchase shares or Restricted Share Units (RSUs) may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and other
service providers of the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
Under
the 2021 Plan, as of December 31, 2024, a total of 1,282,260
shares were still available for future grant. Each option granted under the 2021 Plan expires no later than
seven years from the date of grant. The options vest primarily over
four years of employment unless the Board of Directors and the Board of Director’s
Compensation Committee determines otherwise. Any option which is forfeited or cancelled before expiration becomes available for future
grants. |

The
weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was $0.47,
$2.26
and $2.35,
respectively.
Exercise
price - From the date the Company became public, the fair value of each Ordinary Share was based on the closing price of
the Company’s publicly traded Ordinary Shares as reported on the date of the grant.
Expected
volatility - as the Company became public in April 2021, there is not sufficient historical volatility for the expected term
of the share options. Therefore, the Company uses an average historical share price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for
a peer group of comparable publicly traded companies which were selected based upon industry similarities.
Expected
term (years) - represents the period that the Company’s options granted are expected to be outstanding. There is not
sufficient historical share exercise data to calculate the expected term of the share options. Therefore, the Company elected to
utilize the simplified method to value option grants. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed to be the average
of the shortest vesting term and the contractual term of the option.
Risk-free
interest rate - the Company determined the risk-free interest rate by using a weighted-average equivalent to the expected
term based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the date of grant.
Expected
dividend yield - since inception, the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable
future. Thus, the Company used 0%
as its expected dividend yield. |
