Put Option Agreement and Exercise

On February 25, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Director (the “Chairman”), pursuant to which the Company has an option in its discretion, to sell shares of its common stock (the “Option Shares”) to the Chairman for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2.0 million, at a purchase price of $1.963 per Option Share, subject to the following limitations:

On March 9, 2020, the Company provided notice to the Chairman that it had elected to exercise the Put Option to sell 1,018,848 Option Shares at a purchase price of $1.963 per share for total proceeds of $2,000,000, which was recorded as subscription receivable and common stock subscribed on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On September 29, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $21,875 from the Chairman, representing the disgorgement of short swing profits realized from the sale of shares.

Stock Options

A summary of the option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is presented below:

Options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

Effective June 30, 2020 two of the Company’s directors (the “Resigning Members”) resigned from their positions as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options for the purchase of an aggregate of 20,000 shares of common stock, with a grant date value of $43,356, held by the Resigning Directors were modified such that the options will be fully vested on September 20, 2020 and will be exercisable through September 20, 2029. The Company recorded $8,386 of incremental stock-based compensation expense as a result of the option modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

On August 7, 2020, the Company’s Board approved, in connection with its general counsel’s transition to a part-time employee, the Company’s waiver of any forfeiture of non-vested options in connection with such transition and termination of employment scheduled for February 2021, such that the options for the purchase of 170,000 shares of common stock (grant date value of $266,733) held by the Company’s general counsel will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules and will expire ninety days after November 21, 2023. The incremental value of the modified option award of $64,093, along with the unamortized portion of the original award, will be amortized through the termination date in February 2021.

The option grants described below were issued from the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”).

On July 1, 2020, the Company issued ten-year options for the purchase of 80,000 shares of common stock, with a grant date value of $61,186, to two directors of the Company. The options are exercisable at $2.11 per share and have a 4-year vesting term, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant.

On August 6, 2020, the Company issued ten-year options for the purchase of 120,000 shares of common stock, with an aggregate grant date value of $97,947 to WPT’s general counsel. The options are exercisable at $2.17 per share and have a 4-year vesting term with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant.

The grant date value of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions used:

The expected term used for options is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options issued as compensation of $312,117 and $766,279 respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $5,940 and $5,940, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, there was $2,789,317 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the stock options that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 3.2 years.
