Stock Options
 
2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”)
On August 12, 2008, the Company adopted the iBioPharma 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan for employees, officers, directors and external service providers. The original 2008 Plan provided that the Company may grant options to purchase stock and/or make awards of restricted stock up to an aggregate amount of 1 million shares. On December 18, 2013, the 2008 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares reserved for awards under the Plan from 1 million to 1.5 million. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan may be either incentive stock options (as defined by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) or non-qualified stock options at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Vesting of service awards occurred ratably on the anniversary of the grant date over the service period, generally three or five years, as determined at the time of grant. Vesting of performance awards occurred when the performance criteria had been satisfied. The Company used historical data to estimate forfeiture rates. The 2008 Plan had a term of ten (10) years and, as a result, the 2008 Plan expired by its terms on August 12, 2018.
 
iBio, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”)
On December 18, 2018, the Company's stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors on November 9, 2018, approved the 2018 Plan. The total number of shares of common stock reserved under the 2018 Plan is 3.5 million. Stock options granted under the 2018 Plan may be either incentive stock options (as defined by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), non-qualified stock options, or restricted stock and determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
 
Vesting of service awards will be determined by the Board of Directors and stated in the award agreements. In general, vesting will occur ratably on the anniversary of the grant date over the service period, generally three or five years, as determined at the time of grant. Vesting of performance awards will occur when the performance criteria has been satisfied. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates. The 2018 Plan has a term of ten (10) years and expires by its terms on November 9, 2028.
 
In addition, on December 18, 2018, the Company's stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, also approved an amendment to the Company's 2008 Plan to allow the Company to permit a one-time option exchange program under which the Company would offer eligible employees and non-employee directors the opportunity to exchange certain outstanding options on a four-for-three basis for new stock options exercisable at a lower price under the 2018 Plan (the “Option Exchange”).
 
On January 22, 2019, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO defining the terms and conditions of the Option Exchange, whereby the Company was offering eligible employees and non-employee directors (“Eligible Option Holders”) the opportunity to exchange for new options covering a lesser number of shares of the Company's common stock (“Replacement Options”), at a ratio of four-for-three (the “Exchange Ratio”), any options issued by the Company prior to January 22, 2019 that were outstanding under its 2008 Plan that had an exercise price greater than the closing price per share of iBio’s common stock on the NYSE American on the grant date of the Replacement Options (“Eligible Exchange Options”), so that for each four shares of common stock subject to an Eligible Exchange Option, the option holder would receive a Replacement Option to purchase three shares under the 2018 Plan. On February 20, 2019, the completion date of the tender offer (the “Replacement Option Grant Date”), the Company canceled the options accepted for exchange and granted 874,310 Replacement Options in exchange for 1,165,750 options issued under the 2008 Plan.
 
The Replacement Options:
 
 
have a per-share exercise price of $0.93, which was equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the Replacement Option Grant Date;
 
 
have a five-year term beginning on February 20, 2019 and vest one year later on February 20, 2020. Generally, the Underwater Options had been scheduled to vest over four years following the recipient’s employment start date or the date of grant. As of November 19, 2018, approximately 91% of the shares covered by the Underwater Options already were vested. All other terms and conditions of the new stock options will generally be consistent with the terms and conditions of iBio’s standard time-vesting stock option grants;
 
 
are of the same type of options as the surrendered options. Eligible Option Holders holding nonqualified stock options will receive Replacement Options in the form of nonqualified stock options and Eligible Option Holders holding incentive stock options will receive Replacement Options in the form of incentive stock options; and
 
 
have the terms and be subject to the conditions as provided for in the 2018 Plan and option award agreement.
 
The Company had reserved 1,311,332 shares of common stock for the Option Exchange.
 
No stock options were issued for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. 
 
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company granted each member of its Board of Directors a stock option agreement under the 2018 Plan whereby each director has the option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.90 per share. The options vest over a period of 1 year and expire in 10 years.

The total fair value of stock options that vested during Fiscal 2019 was approximately $46,000. As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $163,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.
 
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.87 as of March 31, 2019 and $0.90 as of July 1, 2018, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.
