Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis for Named Executive Officers

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for the Company’s named executive officers, which consist of: (1) our President and Chief Executive Officer, (2) our Chief Financial Officer, (3) our Executive Vice President of Operations, and (4) our former Chief Executive Officer.

Objectives of Compensation Program

The primary objectives of the Company’s compensation program, including our executive compensation program, are to maintain a pay-for-performance compensation program that will fairly compensate our executives and employees, attract and retain qualified executives and employees who are able to contribute to our long-term success, induce performance consistent with clearly defined corporate goals and align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders. To that end, the Company’s compensation practices are intended to:

•

provide overall compensation (assuming that targeted levels of performance are achieved) that is sufficient to attract and retain executives and key employees;

•

tie total compensation to Company performance and individual performance in achieving financial and non-financial objectives; and

•

closely align senior management’s interests with stockholders’ interests through long-term equity incentive compensation.

How the Compensation Committee Determines the Forms and Amounts of Compensation

The Compensation Committee structures our compensation programs and establishes compensation levels for our executives and senior officers. The Compensation Committee annually determines the compensation levels for our executive officers by considering several factors, including competitive market data, each executive officer’s roles and responsibilities, how the executive officer is performing those responsibilities and our historical financial performance.

The Compensation Committee considers the recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer in determining executive compensation. In making his recommendations, the Chief Executive Officer receives input from our Human Resources Department.

The Compensation Committee makes all decisions for the total direct compensation, which includes base salary, bonus compensation based upon annual incentive goals and objectives and long-term stock-based awards, of the Company’s executive officers and other members of the Company’s senior management team, including the named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee engages independent compensation consultants from time-to-time to assist the Compensation Committee in its duties, including providing advice regarding industry trends relating to the form and amount of compensation provided to executives by companies with which we compete for executive talent and other similarly situated companies. The Compensation Committee retained Compensia during 2021 to provide competitive compensation data and analysis. The Compensation Committee considers available market data as one factor in making executive compensation decisions, but has not adopted a specific benchmark or peer group as a guideline in its determination of compensation.

The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation levels based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Committee considers corporate performance, the impact of incentive awards on the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation and the awards given to the Chief Executive Officer in past years. For the other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee receives a performance assessment and compensation recommendation from the Chief Executive Officer and also exercises its judgment based on the Board’s interactions with the named executive officers. As with the Chief Executive Officer, the performance evaluation of these executives is based on his or her contributions to the Company’s performance and other leadership accomplishments.

Components of Executive Compensation

The elements of the Company’s compensation program are base salaries, bonus compensation based upon incentive goals and objectives and stock-based equity awards. Our compensation program is designed to balance our need to provide our named executive officers with incentives to achieve our short- and long-term performance goals with the need to pay competitive base salaries. There is no pre-established policy for allocating between cash and non-cash or short-term or long-term compensation. Each named executive officer’s current and prior compensation is considered in setting future compensation.

Base Salaries. Base salary is the guaranteed element of employees’ annual cash compensation. Base salaries are generally based on relative responsibility and are targeted to provide competitive guaranteed cash compensation. The value of base salary reflects the employee’s long-term performance, skill set and the market value of that skill set. Base salaries for our named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis and adjustments are made to reflect performance-based factors, as well as competitive conditions. The Company does not apply specific formulas to determine increases. In setting base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors:

•

The Company’s overall financial condition;

•

Internal relativity, meaning the relative pay differences for different job levels;

•

Individual performance;

•

Overall economic conditions and market factors; and

•

Consideration of the mix of overall compensation.

In March 2022, the Compensation Committee increased the base salary of Mr. Sharma in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. This decision was based upon Mr. Sharma’s increase in responsibilities, salary history and internal relativity. Neither Mr. Barbieri’s nor Mr. Kahn’s base salaries were changed in 2022. The fiscal 2022 base salaries for each of the named executive officers as of the end of 2022 are shown in the following table.

	Base Salary
Name	(as of 12/31/2022)
Ashish Sharma	$	500,000
Robert Barbieri	$	400,000
Doug Kahn	$	325,000

Annual Incentive Bonuses

The Company believes that as an employee’s level of responsibility increases, a greater portion of the individual’s cash compensation should be variable and linked to both quantitative and qualitative expectations, including key financial, operational and strategic metrics. To that end, the Company awards annual bonuses in order to align employees’ goals with the Company’s financial, strategic and tactical objectives for the current year.

Executive Bonuses for 2022. For 2022, the Compensation Committee established the Senior Management Bonus Program for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Bonus Program”). Under the 2022 Bonus Program, bonus target amounts, expressed as a percentage of base salary, were established for participants. Bonus payouts for the year were then determined by (a) the achievement by the Company of certain financial goals and/or targets set forth in the 2022 Bonus Program related to the Company’s revenue performance and cash flow; and (b) each participating employee’s individual performance. Satisfactory individual performance is a condition to payment.

The Compensation Committee considered the following when establishing the awards for 2022:

•

Bonus Targets. Target bonuses are expressed as a percentage of the participant’s base salary earned during the plan year. Bonus targets were based on job responsibilities and internal relativity. Consistent with the Company’s executive compensation policy, individuals with greater job responsibilities had a greater proportion of their total compensation tied to Company performance in the 2022 Bonus Program. With the exception of Mr. Sharma, bonus targets for the named executive officers were unchanged for 2022 compared to prior years. Prior to 2022, Mr. Sharma had an annual target bonus equal to 50% of his annual base salary. For 2022, Mr. Sharma’s target bonus was increased to 65% to reflect his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mondor was not a participant in the 2022 Bonus Program. The schedule below shows the target incentives for the 2022 awards for each of the named executive officers as a percentage of 2022 base salary:

	Target Bonus				2022 Bonus
Name	% of Salary		Dollars		Earned
Ashish Sharma		65%	$	325,000	$	–
Robert Barbieri		50%	$	200,000	$	–
Doug Kahn		40%	$	120,000	$	–

•

Company performance measures. For all participants in the 2022 Bonus Program, including the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee established performance measures based upon total revenue, cash flow and specific product line revenues. In 2022, The Company failed to meet the performance measures, and no bonuses were awarded to the named executive officers.

•

Personal performance. Based on individual performance, the Compensation Committee has discretion to adjust bonus payouts – either up or down – to reflect the individual performance of each named executive officer during the year. No discretionary bonuses were awarded for fiscal 2022 to the named executive officers.

Long-Term Incentives. Long-term incentive awards are a key element of the Company’s total compensation package for the named executive officers. We also have adopted an equity incentive approach intended to reward longer-term performance and to help align the interest of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that rewards performance by our named executive officers through the use of equity incentives. Our equity incentive plans have been established to provide our employees, including our named executive officers, with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Our equity incentive plans have provided the principal method for our named executive officers to acquire equity interests in the Company.

The size and terms of the awards for an individual recipient will depend upon the level of responsibility of the recipient; the expected future contributions to the growth and development of the Company; the value of past service; and the number of options and restricted shares owned by other executives in comparable positions within the Company. The Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan provides for a variety of long-term awards including stock options, restricted stock, restricted share units and performance awards.

Stock Options and RSU Awards

The Compensation Committee continually evaluates its equity compensation program to determine whether to issue either restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options or a combination thereof. In making such determinations, the Compensation Committee considers the accounting treatment, the retention and the number of shares available for grant under the Company’s equity incentive plan and the potential dilutive impact on the Company’s stockholders.

The Compensation Committee primarily relies on stock options as the main equity vehicle for our named executive officers. Stock options provide for financial gain derived from the potential appreciation in stock price from the date that the option is granted until the date that the option is exercised. The grant date is established when the Compensation Committee approves the grant and all key terms have been determined. The exercise price of stock option grants is set at the fair market value on the date of grant, which is the closing price on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Under the stockholder-approved 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may not grant stock options at a discount to the fair market value or reduce the exercise price of outstanding options, except with the approval of the stockholders or except in the case of a stock split or other similar event. The Company does not grant stock options with “reload” features and it does not loan funds to employees to enable them to exercise stock options.

From time to time, our Compensation Committee may also issue RSUs to our named executive officers. RSUs are generally less dilutive to our stockholders, as fewer shares of our common stock are granted to achieve an equivalent value relative to stock options, and because RSU awards are an effective retention tool that maintain value even in cases where the share price is trading lower than the initial grant price.

The equity awards granted to our named executive officers during 2022 are reflected in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” below.

Other Elements of Compensation

Perquisites and Other Benefits. The Company does not provide significant perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans to the same extent as all full-time employees generally.

Retirement Plans. We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, on a pre-tax or after-tax basis through contributions to the plan. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees generally. Currently, we match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan at $0.50 for each $1.00 contributed on up to 6% an employee’s eligible compensation. We believe that providing a vehicle for retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements

We generally enter into offer letters, rather than formal employment agreements, with our named executive officers. The letters set forth the initial salary and bonus terms for each named executive officer. The current base salaries and bonus targets for the named executive officers are set forth below.

In addition, each of the named executive officers, as well as certain other key employees, is a party to an change in control and severance agreement with the Company. The principal purpose of the agreements is to protect the Company from certain business risks (e.g., threats from loss of confidentiality or trade secrets, disparagement, solicitation of customers and employees) and to define the Company’s right to terminate the employment relationship. In return, the executive officers are provided assurances with regard to salary and other compensation and benefits, as well as certain severance benefits.

For a description of these agreements and the severance benefits provided under these arrangements, see –Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control–Severance Agreements.

2022 Say-On-Pay Vote

At our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers described in our 2022 proxy statement. Approximately 89.4% of the votes cast on the matter were voted in favor of this “say-on-pay” approval. The Board and the Compensation Committee considered the voting results and high level of stockholder support when establishing our executive compensation programs for fiscal 2022.

Clawback Guidelines

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that in the event of any accounting restatement of the financial statements of the Company, the Board will review the incentive compensation and awards made to the executive officers based on the financial results during the period covered by the restatement and, in appropriate circumstances and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s policies and plans, seek to recover or cancel the portion of any such compensation or awards in excess of what would have been received under the restated financial statements. Among the key factors that the Board will consider in determining whether seeking recovery is appropriate is whether the executive officer engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that resulted in the need for a restatement.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally prohibits a publicly-held company from deducting compensation paid to a current or former named executive officer that exceeds $1 million during the tax year. Certain awards granted before November 2, 2017 that were based upon attaining pre-established performance measures that were set by the Compensation Committee under a plan approved by our stockholders, as well as amounts payable to former executives pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017, may qualify for an exception to the $1 million deductibility limit.

The Compensation Committee notes this deductibility limitation as one of the factors in its consideration of compensation matters. However, the Compensation Committee generally has the flexibility to take any compensation-related actions that it determines are in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interest, including designing and awarding compensation for our executive officers that is not fully deductible for tax purposes.

Stock Ownership Requirements

The Board has historically encouraged its members and members of senior management to acquire and maintain stock in the Company to link the interests of such persons to the stockholders. However, neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee has established stock ownership guidelines for members of the Board or the executive officers of the Company.

Securities Trading Policy/Hedging Prohibition

Officers and other employees may not engage in any transaction in which they may profit from short-term speculative swings in the value of the Company’s securities. This includes “short sales” (selling borrowed securities which the seller hopes can be purchased at a lower price in the future) or “short sales against the box” (selling owned, but not delivered securities), “put” and “call” options (publicly available rights to sell or buy securities within a certain period of time at a specified price) and hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. In addition, this policy is designed to ensure compliance with all insider trading rules.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). In general, the indemnification agreements provide that, subject to certain limitations, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee or on such Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with certain pending, completed or threatened proceedings, as defined in the indemnification agreements, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and reasonably in the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Risk Assessment of Compensation Program

In April 2023, management assessed our compensation program for the purpose of reviewing and considering any risks presented by our compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. As part of that assessment, management reviewed the primary elements of our compensation program, including base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. Management’s risk assessment included a review of the overall design of each primary element of our compensation program, and an analysis of the various design features, controls and approval rights in place with respect to compensation paid to management and other employees that mitigate potential risks to us that could arise from our compensation program. Following the assessment, management determined that our compensation policies and practices did not create risks that were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and reported the results of the assessment to our compensation committee.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has submitted the following report for inclusion in this proxy statement:

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed by us with the SEC.

This report of the Compensation Committee is not “soliciting material,” shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC and shall not be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the Compensation Committee.

Respectfully submitted,

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

Jeffrey Tuder (Chairman)

James B. Avery

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Change-in-Control and Severance Agreements

The Company has entered into Change-in-Control and Severance Agreements with Messrs. Sharma, Barbieri and Kahn - all with substantially identical provisions - to provide severance benefits in the event the executive’s employment is terminated. A description of the material terms of the agreements, including the severance benefits payable under these agreements is set forth below.

In addition, prior to his transition to Executive Chairman on March 1, 2022, the Company was a party to a Change-in-Control and Severance Agreement with Mr. Mondor, which agreement terminated effective upon his transition.

Under the terms of the agreements, if the employment of a named executive officer is terminated by the Company without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason not in connection with a Change-in-Control, then the named executive officer is entitled to the following severance benefits:

•

an amount equal to the named executive officer’s unpaid base salary and incentive pay through the date of termination and any other amounts owed to the named executive officer under our compensation plans;

•

an amount equal to six months of the named executive officer’s base salary, payable in cash in the form of salary continuation;

•

immediate vesting of the portion of the named executive officer’s outstanding equity awards under our compensation plans that would have vested or become exercisable had his employment continued through the next vesting date;

•

a lump-sum bonus payment equal to the pro-rated portion of the target bonus in the year of termination based on actual achievement of corporate performance goals and assumed full achievement of any individual performance goals; and

•

continued participation for up to nine months by the named executive officer and his dependents in our group health plan, at the same benefit and contribution levels in effect immediately prior to the termination;

provided, however, that in order to receive the aforementioned severance benefits (other than the named executive officer’s unpaid base salary and incentive pay through the date of termination and any other amounts owed to the named executive officer under our compensation plans), the named executive officer must execute a general release of claims.

Under the agreements, subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims (other than with respect to the first severance benefit noted below), the named executive officer is entitled to the following severance benefits, in lieu of the benefits described above, if the named executive officer ’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason during a Change-in-Control Period:

•

an amount equal to the sum of 18 months of the named executive officer’s base salary;

•

an amount equal to 12 months of the named executive officer’s target annual bonus opportunity;

•

immediate vesting of outstanding equity awards under our compensation plans; and

•

continued participation for up to 18 months by the named executive officer and his dependents in our group health plan, at the same benefit and contribution levels in effect immediately before the termination.

The Change-in-Control and Severance Agreements described above utilize the following definitions:

“Cause” means:

•

any act of material misconduct or material dishonesty by the named executive officer in the performance of his or her duties;

•

any willful failure, gross neglect or refusal by the named executive officer to attempt in good faith to perform his or her duties to the Company or to follow the lawful instructions of the Board (except as a result of physical or mental incapacity or illness) which is not promptly cured after written notice;

•

the named executive officer’s commission of any fraud or embezzlement against the Company (whether or not a misdemeanor);

•

any material breach of any written agreement with the Company, which breach has not been cured by the named executive officer (if curable) within 30 days after written notice thereof to the named executive officer by the Company;

•

the named executive officer’s being convicted of (or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to) any felony or misdemeanor involving theft, embezzlement, dishonesty or moral turpitude; and/or

Mondor Transition Agreement

Effective March 1, 2022, Mr. Mondor transitioned from the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company to Executive Chairman, to serve in such capacity until the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, pursuant to the terms of a transition agreement between Mr. Mondor and the Company (the “Transition Agreement”). Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. Mondor’s base salary as Executive Chairman was $100,000 per year, until his employment with the Company ended at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders on August 3, 2022. Mr. Mondor was also entitled to a cash success fee of $50,000 for successfully recruiting certain employees during his transition period. On March 1, 2022, the vesting of 25% of the options granted to Mr. Mondor on June 6, 2021 accelerated and became immediately exercisable, and the remaining options under such grant were cancelled. On June 21, 2022, the Transition Agreement was amended to (i) provide that the Company will pay for COBRA coverage for Mr. Mondor through December 31, 2022, and (ii) to extend the post-termination exercise period for Mr. Mondor’s vested stock options to 12 months following the termination of his employment with the Company.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Table

The following table summarizes the potential payments to our named executive officers in two scenarios: (1) upon termination by us without cause or the executive’s resignation for good reason apart from a change in control; or (2) upon termination by us without cause or the executive’s resignation for good reason within 30 days prior to or 12 months following a Change-in-Control. The table assumes that the termination of employment or Change-in-Control, as applicable, occurred on December 31, 2022. The value of the accelerated vesting of stock and option awards was computed using $0.84, which was the price of our common stock at December 30, 2022 (less, in the case of option awards, the exercise price per share of such option awards).

The employment of Mr. Mondor terminated effective August 3, 2022. Accordingly, he is not included in the table below as he would not have been entitled to any benefits in the event of the occurrence of any of the triggering events described in the table on December 31, 2022.

(1)

Represents base salary for 6 months, a prorated target annual bonus for the year of termination, and continued health plan coverage for up to 9 months at our expense. Also includes the value the equity awards eligible for accelerated vesting upon such termination.

(2)

Represents base salary for 18 months, payable in a lump sum, the executive’s target annual bonus for the year of termination, and continued health plan coverage for up to 18 months at our expense. Also reflects the value of the accelerated vesting of all outstanding stock and option awards.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing disclosure regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Sharma, who was our Chief Executive Officer during the majority of fiscal 2022, to the median of the total annual compensation of our employees other than Mr. Sharma. We identified our employee with the median annual compensation using cash compensation for calendar year 2022 of all employees who were employed by us on December 31, 2022, at which date our global workforce consisted of 405 employees, of which 229 were U.S. employees and 176 were non-U.S. employees. We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population. We annualized the compensation for any employees who commenced work during calendar 2022. We believe cash compensation for all employees is reasonable to use as a consistently applied compensation measure because we do not have a broad-based equity award plan. We selected December 31, 2022, which is within the last three months of our fiscal 2022, for the date as of when we would identify the employee with the median annual compensation, because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient and economical manner.

After identifying the employee with the median total cash compensation for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022, we calculated total compensation for this employee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 using the same methodology that we use for our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table above.

For fiscal 2022, the total compensation of Mr. Sharma was $5,462,347, and the total compensation of our employee with median annual compensation was $88,588. Accordingly, we estimated our CEO pay ratio for fiscal 2022 to be 62 to 1.

Director Compensation

We use a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board. Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board makes all compensation decisions for our non-management directors. In recommending director compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the amount of time required of directors to fulfill their duties. A director who is also an employee of the Company does not receive additional compensation for serving as a director.

Cash Compensation. The Board has approved the following components of the annual cash retainer fee to our non-management directors for

Board and Board committee service in 2022 (which amounts are prorated for directors who only served for a portion of the year):

	Chair			Member

Board of Directors	$	80,000	⁽¹⁾	$	40,000
Audit Committee	$	20,000		$	10,000
Compensation Committee	$	14,000		$	6,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	$	10,000		$	5,000

(1) For independent directors only. If the Chair is also an employee or officer of the Company they will not receive retainers for service on the Board.

Equity-Based Compensation. The Board approved the following components for equity compensation to be awarded to each non-management director of the Company for fiscal 2022.

•

An initial equity award upon joining the Board in the form of RSUs with an economic value of $145,000. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning with the first anniversary of the grant date.

•

Thereafter, an annual equity award in the form of RSUs with an economic value of $125,000 that vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Based on the foregoing policy, the Compensation Committee awarded non-management directors 49,801 RSUs in August 2022 as compensation for Board service from August 2022 until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. The non-management directors will be eligible for annual awards during 2023 as described above. In addition, the Compensation Committee made a supplemental special grant to Mr. Lytle of 39,841 immediately vested RSUs in recognition of extraordinary service to the Board.

Director Compensation Table. The table below summarizes the compensation paid to our non-management directors for service on the Board for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In addition to the payments below, the Company reimburses directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Board committee meetings.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Equity Compensation Plan Information

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) and the 2018 Incentive Plan were the only compensation plans under which securities of the Company were authorized for grant. The Purchase Plan and the 2018 Incentive Plan were approved by our stockholders. In 2019, the Board terminated the Company’s 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), which was adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635. The following table provides information as of December 31, 2022 regarding the Company’s existing and predecessor plans:

Plan category	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options			Weighted-average exercise price of options outstanding⁽¹⁾		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders		7,524,628		$	4.52		9,743,889	⁽²⁾
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		556,248	⁽³⁾	$	5.39		–

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with Related Persons

Interest Payments on Convertible Notes

During fiscal 2022, the Company made interest payments to Golden Harbor Ltd., a five percent holder, North Sound Trading, L.P., a five percent holder, and an individual retirement account held by Mr. Lytle’s mother, over which Mr. Lytle has investment discretion in the amounts of $794,820, $1,805,180, and $12,188 respectively, pursuant to the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board is committed to upholding the highest legal and ethical conduct in fulfilling its responsibilities and recognizes that related party transactions can present a heightened risk of potential or actual conflicts of interest.

Our Audit Committee charter requires that members of the Audit Committee review and approve all related party transactions. Current SEC rules define a related party transaction to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which:

· we are a participant;

· the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and

· an executive officer, director or director nominee, or any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or any person who is an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and investigating any matters pertaining to the integrity of management, including conflicts of interest and adherence to our Code of Conduct. Under our Code of Conduct, directors, officers and all other members of the workforce are expected to avoid any relationship, influence or activity that would cause or even appear to cause a conflict of interest. All directors must recuse themselves from any discussion or decision affecting their personal, business or professional interests.

All related party transactions shall be disclosed in our applicable filings with the SEC as required under SEC rules.

Parents of the Company

The Company has no parents except to the extent that either of the Investors may be deemed a parent by virtue of their ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, and their Board nomination and appointment rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 6, 2018, by and among the Company, Golden Harbor Ltd. and North Sound Trading, L.P.

Director Independence

Under the NASDAQ listing requirements, a majority of the members of our Board must be independent. The Board has determined that James Avery, Stephanie Bowers, Christopher Harland and Jeffrey Tuder are each “independent” of the Company and management within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing requirements. Mr. Lytle is not “independent” under the NASDAQ listing requirements because he is a former employee of and consultant to the Company.
