In 2014, prior to the Merger, the Board of Directors and a majority of the stockholders adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, allowing for the issuance of 137 shares of common stock. The 2014 Plan has since been amended and restated with approval by the stockholders to increase the maximum number of shares issuable, as shown in the table below:
Original share pool 137 
2015 increase 111 
June 2017 increase 67 
December 2017 increase (ratified in June 2018) 293 
2019 increase 233 
March 2020 increase 333 
December 2020 increase 800 
Total share authorized for grant as of December 31, 2021 1,974 

As of December 31, 2021, the total shares authorized for grant under the 2014 Plan was 1,974, of which 587 were available for future grants.

Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the Board of Directors may award stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights having either a fixed or variable price related to the fair market value of the shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions or any other security with the value derived from the value of the shares.

Shares available for future grant under the 2014 Plan was as follows:
Shares Available For Grant
Available as of December 31, 2020 1,113 
Granted (620)
Forfeited 71 
Expired 23 
Available as of December 31, 2021 587 

Stock Options

The Board of Directors may grant stock options under the 2014 Plan at a price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. The maximum term of an incentive stock option granted to participants may not exceed ten years. Subject to the limitations discussed above, the Board of Directors determines the term and exercise or purchase price of other awards granted under the 2014 Plan. The Board of Directors also determines the terms and conditions of awards, including the vesting schedule and any forfeiture provisions. Options granted under the 2014 Plan vest upon the passage of time, generally four years, or upon the attainment of certain performance criteria established by the Board of Directors. The Company may grant options to purchase common stock to non-employees for advisory and consulting services. Upon exercise of a stock option, the Company issues new shares of common stock.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issues time-based RSUs and PSUs to employees and non-employee service providers. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting and subsequent settlement. PSUs vest upon achievement of performance targets based on the Company's annual operating plan. The fair values of RSUs and PSUs are determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
