On February 23, 2016 our board of directors approved the adoption of our 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and reserved 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for grants under this plan.  The purpose of the 2016 Plan is attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of our company’s business. The 2016 Plan is administered by our board of directors. Plan options may either be:

incentive stock options (ISOs),

·

non-qualified options (NSOs),

·

awards of our Class A common stock,

·

stock appreciation rights (SARs),

·

restricted stock units (RSUs),

·

performance units,

·

performance shares, and

·

other stock-based awards.

Any option granted under the 2016 Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding Class A common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the Class A common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The exercise price of any NSO granted under the 2016 Plan is determined by the Board at the time of grant, but must be at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant.
