    At the Autobytel Inc. 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 19, 2014 (“Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of Autobytel Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company” or “Autobytel”), approved the Autobytel Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”).  The total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan, subject to certain adjustment provisions, is 1,500,000 shares.  The Company may grant options, SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance awards under the Plan.  Options granted to Company employees or employees of any Company subsidiary may be either "incentive stock options," as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or nonstatutory stock options.  Awards may be granted under the Plan to any employee or officer of Autobytel or its subsidiaries, consultant or advisor (subject to meeting conditions specified in the Plan) who is a natural person and provides services to the Company or a subsidiary, and non-employee member of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors adopted the Plan on April 14, 2014, conditioned upon approval by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
