11. Equity

 

On April 19, 2021, the Company concluded its public offering of 83,333 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.60 per share. Gross proceeds of the offering totaled $50,000, which after deducting the underwriting discount, legal fees, and offering expenses, resulted in net proceeds of $45,478. GEE granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 12,500 shares of the Company's common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount. ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc., acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.

 

On or about April 19, 2021, six (6) directors and officers of the Company individually acquired shares of the Company’s common stock either by directly participating in the Company’s 2021 follow-on public offering of its common shares, as subscribers, or by purchasing Company common shares in the open market. These six officers and directors collectively acquired a total of 679 shares of the Company’s common stock at that time.

 

On April 27, 2021, the underwriters of the Company’s April 19, 2021, public offering exercised in full their 15% over–allotment option to purchase an additional 12,500 common shares (the “option shares”) of the Company at the public offering price of $0.60 per share. The Company closed the transaction on April 28, 2021 and received net proceeds from the sale of the option shares of approximately $6,937, after deducting the applicable underwriting discount.

 

Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Stock Plan

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were stock options outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Stock Plan. During fiscal 2021, the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan was amended to increase the total shares available for restricted stock and stock options grants by 10,000 to a total of 15,000 (7,500 restricted stock shares and 7,500 stock option shares). The Incentive Stock Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant either incentive or non-statutory stock options to employees. Vesting periods are established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant. As of December 31, 2021, there were 10,786 shares available to be granted under the Plan (5,828 shares available for stock option grants and 4,958 shares available for restricted stock grants).
