Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares reserved under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (3,000,000) against the company's current authorized share count to assess potential dilution.
- Review the specific vesting schedules and performance metrics for any awards granted under the new plan in subsequent filings.
- Confirm the list of subsidiaries eligible for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the Board's designation authority.
- Monitor future 10-Q and 10-K filings for the actual number of shares issued under these plans and the associated compensation expense.
