  8. Description of Stock Plans

On May 26, 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of NeuMedia, Inc. and on April 27, 2012, our board of directors amended and restated the plan and the related plan documents to change references to the name of our company from “NeuMedia, Inc.” to “Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.” and further directed that they be submitted to stockholders for their consideration and approval. On May 23, 2012, our stockholders approved and adopted by written consent the Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. (the “Plan”) and the Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Restricted Stock Agreement and the Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Stock Option Agreement (collectively, the “Related Documents”).

The Plan contains a number of provisions that the board believes are consistent with the interests of stockholders and sound corporate governance practices. These include:

 

  Individual Grant Limits. No participant may be granted in aggregate, in any calendar year, Awards covering more than 500,000 shares.

 

  No annual “Evergreen” Provision. The Plan provides for a fixed allocation of shares, thereby requiring stockholder approval of any additional allocation of shares.

 

  No Discount Stock Options. The Plan prohibits the grant of a stock option with an exercise price of less than the fair market value of the closing price of our common stock on the date the stock option is granted.

Summary Description of the Plan

The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and restricted stock units (sometimes referred to individually or collectively as “Awards”) to our and our subsidiaries’ officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

On September 10, 2012, the Company increased the Plan shares for issuance from 4,000,000 to 20,000,000.

 

Stock options may be either “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). The Plan reserves 20,000,000 shares for issuance, of which 17,007,013 remain available for issuance as of December 31, 2013. The 20,000,000 shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the Plan.

The following table summarizes options granted under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan for the periods or as of the dates indicated:
