II.            Issuance of New Stock Options to Employees.

At the of June 16, 2014 Compensation Committee meeting, the Compensation Committee approved and granted certain equity compensation under the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

The amount of stock options to each executive officer is set forth in the table below.

Under the terms of the Time Option Agreements, each executive officer is granted the right to buy shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $8.31  per share, which is the price of the Company’s stock as of the close of NASDAQ market on June 16, 2014.
