Item
8.01 Other
Events
On
December 30, 2009, the board of directors of the registrant adopted the 2009
Stock Option Plan and the 2009 Restricted Stock Plan. Both plans are
part of the registrant’s efforts to conserve cash by compensating its employees
with equity securities of the registrant.
The 2009
Stock Option Plan allows the registrant to grant options to purchase up to
5,000,000 shares of its common stock (subject to certain adjustments in the
event of stock splits or other similar events) as incentive stock options. The
registrant’s board of directors has delegated authority to grant options under
the 2009 Stock Option Plan to the Compensation Committee of the board of
directors.
The 2009
Restricted Stock Plan allows the registrant to grant up to 5,000,000 shares
of its common stock as restricted stock awards. Shares of common
stock that are the subject of a restricted stock award shall be subject to
restrictions on disposition by the recipient and an obligation of the recipient
to forfeit and surrender the shares to the registrant under certain
circumstances (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Forfeiture
Restrictions shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of
directors in its sole discretion.
