On July 7, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Cesca Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) under which up to 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), may be issued pursuant to grants of shares, options, or other forms of incentive compensation. The 2016 Plan remains subject to stockholder approval, which must be received by July 7, 2017. The named executive officers of the Company will be eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On July 7, 2016, the Compensation Committee also adopted a short term incentive plan under which cash awards and shares of Common Stock may be granted to employees of the Company (the “Short Term Plan”). The aggregate amount of the cash awards issuable pursuant to the Short Term Plan is approximately $276,000. Up to 104,000 shares of Common Stock from the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to vesting, are issuable pursuant to the Short Term Plan. The awards may consist of any combination of cash and/or shares provided that the aggregate amounts of cash and shares do not exceed such aggregate amounts approved by the Compensation Committee. The cash awards granted pursuant to the Short Term Plan, if any, will be payable, and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Short Term Plan, if any, will fully vest, on March 31, 2017 provided, in each case, that such award recipients are employed by the Company as of such date. The named executive officers of the Company will be eligible to participate in the Short Term Plan.
