On February 7, 2018, the board of directors of CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to its director compensation program, providing for payment in stock options, in lieu of cash, of all unpaid director retainer fees for the four-quarter period ending February 28, 2018. The number shares of common stock for each option awarded to each director was determined by applying a price of approximately $0.31 per share, which was the fair value estimate per share of the option award as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Anthony D. Caracciolo, Executive Chairman, participated in the distribution, receiving a stock option covering 128,530 shares in exchange for $40,000 in fees payable for his services as a director.
The options awarded to participating directors each have a per share exercise price of $0.56, which was the closing sale price of the Common Stock on February 7, 2018. The options have a ten-year term and are immediately exercisable.
