On June 9, 2015, Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company’s shareholders approved the Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2015 Plan replaces the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which expired in March 2015.

Awards under the 2015 Plan may be granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and the Company’s affiliates and managed dental practices. Awards under the 2015 Plan may be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards. The 2015 Plan will be administered by a committee of two or more outside directors from the Company’s Board of Directors. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an award under the 2015 Plan that expires, is forfeited or terminated, or is settled or paid in cash will, to the extent of such expiration, forfeiture, termination or settlement, automatically become available for future awards under the 2015 Plan.

A more detailed summary of the terms of the 2015 Plan is set forth in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 7, 2015.
