Common Stock Warrants
On June 29, 2018, the Company issued 281,750 warrants with a five-year term to Roth Capital Partners, LLC as part of the underwriting agreement in connection with the Company's IPO. The warrants remain outstanding as of April 30, 2023. Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis, where the holders receive fewer shares of common stock in lieu of a cash payment to the Company. There were no warrants issued, exercised, or expired and canceled for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023 and May 1, 2022. As of April 30, 2023, 281,750 warrants remain outstanding with an average exercise price of $19.20 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.16 years. As of May 1, 2022, 281,750 warrants remain outstanding with an average exercise price of $19.20 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.16 years.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Equity Plan”) which provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. All awards shall be granted within 10 years from the effective date of the 2017 Equity Plan. In fiscal 2024, the 2017 Equity Plan was amended and restated to increase the shares of our common stock authorized and reserved for issuance by 225,000 shares, which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Equity Plan to 2,879,889 shares of common stock as of April 30, 2023.
Stock Options
In June 2019, the Company granted 495,366 non-statutory stock options to certain officers of the Company with an option price of $38.10 per share. 100% of the stock options are subject to vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the officers are still employed by the Company and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the prior 40 consecutive trading days has been at least $75 by the third anniversary of the grant. Both the employment and the market condition must be satisfied no later than June 5, 2024 or the options will terminate. These options were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model to account for the path dependent market conditions that stipulate when and whether or not the options shall vest. The 495,366 stock options were modified in fiscal 2022 to extend the term of the options through June 5, 2024. This resulted in additional compensation of approximately $0.9 million of which, $0.3 million was recorded upon modification with the remaining expense to be recognized over the remaining expected term. The market condition was met on June 5, 2021, which was the date on which the average closing price of the Company’s common stock had been at least $75 for 40 consecutive trading days. The options vested and became exercisable on June 5, 2022 as the officers were still employed on that date.
There were no stock options issued, exercised, or expired and canceled for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023 and May 1, 2022. As of April 30, 2023, 495,366 stock options remain outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $38.10, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.10 years, and no intrinsic value. As of May 1, 2022, 495,366
stock options remain outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $38.10, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.1 years and intrinsic value of $8.05.

In March 2023, Shawn Nelson, our Chief Executive Officer, received a one-time performance and retention long-term incentive grant of 235,000 Restricted Stock Units (the “RSU Grant”) pursuant to the 2017 Equity Plan and Mr. Nelson’s Restricted Stock Units Agreement and Grant Notice (the “RSU Agreement”). The RSU Grant vests on the later to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant so long as, (x) on or prior to such date (subject to certain limited extensions), the Company has achieved a specified level of performance with respect to share price and net sales, and (y) Mr. Nelson remains in continuous service with the Company as Chief Executive Officer through such date; or (ii) if the specified level of performance with respect to net sales is not achieved on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, but the other conditions in subclause (i) are achieved, the first date that such specified level of performance with respect to net sales is achieved, so long as it is achieved on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the date of grant and so long as Mr. Nelson remains in continuous service with the Company through such date. Except in the event of termination of employment as defined in the 2017 Equity Plan, the RSU Grant will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting date. The RSU grant was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model to account for the path dependent market conditions that stipulate when and whether or not the options shall vest. The expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the longest of the derived, explicit, or implicit service period.
