Stock Options
On August 12, 2008, the Company adopted the iBioPharma 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for employees, officers, directors and external service providers. The original Plan provided that the Company may grant options to purchase stock and/or make awards of restricted stock up to an aggregate amount of 10 million shares. On December 18, 2013, the Plan was amended to increase the number of shares reserved for awards under the Plan from 10 million to 15 million. As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately  5.3 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Plan. Stock options granted under the 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 occurs 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 occurs when the performance criteria have been satisfied. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted stock options to members of the Board of Directors and officers to purchase approximately 1.64 million shares of common stock. These options vest ratably on the anniversary of the date of grant over a three year service period, expire ten years from the date of grant, and have a weighted-average exercise price of $0.86 per share.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted stock options to a consultant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. These options vest over a three year service period, expire four years from the date of grant, and have an exercise price of $1.15 per share. In addition, on October 17, 2014, a consulting agreement dated March 1, 2012 with a former employee was terminated for cause. As a result, 500,000 options with an exercise price of $0.87 were cancelled.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $0.43 per share. As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $1.64 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 1.3% - 2.3%; dividend yield – 0%; volatility – 96.7% - 113.9% and expected term – 49 years.
