(e) On
April 10, 2008, the Board of Directors of VeruTEK Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) approved the grant of an incentive stock option for 50,000 shares of
Company common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to Michael
Vagnini, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the
“Vagnini Option”). The Vagnini Option was granted pursuant to the
Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Vagnini Option
will vest in equal yearly increments over a five-year period beginning the first
anniversary of the initial grant date and will expire on April 10,
2014. The exercise price per share payable upon the exercise of the
Vagnini Option will be $1.25.
As previously disclosed, on March 27,
2008, the Company adopted the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to
promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing
incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and
financial success of the Company and enabling the Company to attract, retain and
reward the best available persons for positions of substantial responsibility
within the Company or certain affiliates of the Company. Under the
Plan, eligible participants may be awarded options to purchase common stock of
the Company, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation
rights, phantom shares or performance awards. The Company intends to
submit the Plan for approval by the Company’s shareholders at the next annual
shareholder meeting. The Board has authority to administer the Plan
and has delegated this authority to the Compensation Committee of the
Board. In addition, the Board or the Compensation Committee may
delegate duties to the Company’s chief executive officer or other senior
officers of the Company, to the extent permitted by law and the Company’s
Bylaws. Employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company
or of certain affiliates of the Company are eligible to participate in the
Plan. However, the actual recipients of awards under the Plan are
selected by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Plan
authorizes the granting of awards for up to a maximum of Two Million (2,000,000)
shares of common stock of the Company. If any award granted under the
Plan expires, terminates or is forfeited, surrendered or canceled, without
delivery (or, in the case of restricted shares, vesting) of common stock or
other consideration, the common stock of the Company that were underlying the
award shall again be available under the Plan.
Section
8 – Other Events.
Item
8.01 – Other Events.
As previously disclosed, the Board of
Directors of the Company has previously determined that it would be in the
Company’s best interest for director compensation to be at least partly
equity-based. On April 10, 2008, the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a grant of nonqualified stock options (collectively, the
“Non-Employee Director Options”) for 319,663, 213,108 and 213,108 shares of
Company common stock to Douglas Anderson, Mark Ain and, Carlos Naudon
(collectively, the “Non-Employee Directors”), respectively. In
connection with the grant of the Non-Employee Director Options, the Board also
adjusted previously disclosed non-employee director compensation for 2008,
determining that,
effective as of January 1, 2008, the 2008 non-employee director cash
compensation will be a monthly retainer of $2,000 and a per meeting fee of
$1,000. (Prior to the foregoing adjustment, as previously disclosed,
compensation for 2008 for Mr. Anderson was to have been an aggregate stipend of
$60,000 for all services to be rendered as a director of the Company, an
aggregate stipend of $74,000 for all services rendered as Chair of the Board and
for all services rendered as chair of such committee(s) of the Board as the
Board may from time to time request, and aggregate fees of $16,000 for
attendance (either in person or by telephone) at Board and/or Board committee
meetings, and compensation for 2008 for each of Mr. Ain and Mr. Naudon was to
have been an aggregate stipend of $60,000 for all services to be rendered as a
non-employee director of the Company, an aggregate stipend of $24,000 for
services as chair of such committee(s) of the Board as the Board may from time
to time request, and aggregate fees of $16,000 for attendance (either in person
or by telephone) at Board and/or committee meetings.)
The
Non-Employee Director Options were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Stock
Incentive Plan. The Non-Employee Director Options will vest in
approximately equal yearly increments over a three-year period beginning on the
first anniversary of the initial grant date and will expire on April 10,
2012. The exercise price per share payable upon the exercise of each
of the Non-Employee Director Options will be $1.25.
