Stock-Based Compensation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan In August 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), which became effective on the business day prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the IPO. The 2018 Plan initially reserved 4,300,000 shares of common stock for the issuance of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The number of shares available for issuance increases annually on the first day of each fiscal year equal to the least of (1) 4,300,000 shares, and (2) 4% of outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding year, and (3) such other amount as determined by the board of directors. The exercise price of options must be equal to at least the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. For ISOs, the term may not exceed ten years, except in respect to any participant with more than 10% of voting power of all classes of stock, then the term may not exceed five years and the exercise price must be equal to at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Options and RSUs granted generally vest over four years. 2021 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan The 2021 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan (“2021 LTPIP”) was designed to be a long-term, pay-for- performance, incentive plan that would further align the interests of management and other eligible employees with the creation of substantial long-term value for the Company's stockholders. During 2021, eligible employees were provided a one-time opportunity to “opt-in” and forgo a portion of their annual equity incentive awards in exchange for a one-time grant of performance-based stock options from the 2021 LTPIP and 2018 Plan, collectively referred to as the “LTPIP Program”. Shares underlying the options granted under the LTPIP Program may be earned based on the achievement of the performance-based requirement based on stock price goals and/or certain operational milestones based on approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of a Biologics License Application in respect of a first, second, and third major indication and based on sales. The performance-based requirement and operational milestones were not achieved as of December 31, 2025. The Company determined the exchange of the original award of annual equity incentive awards with the modified award of options granted under the LTPIP Program represented a change in the original terms and conditions. The modification resulted in additional compensation cost equal to the incremental value between the original and modified awards to be recognized. For the annual equity incentive awards, the Company recorded the unrecognized compensation expense over the original vesting period. As of December 31, 2025, there was $48.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the 5,659,816 outstanding options granted under the LTPIP Program, but not yet earned or vested, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.11 years.
