Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On September 19, 2024, we adopted the Legacy Education Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) which has been approved by our stockholders.

The 2021 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options (“ISO”), nonstatutory stock options (“NQSO”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, stock units, and other equity-based awards. Directors, officers and other employees of ours and our subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services for us, are eligible for grants under the 2021 Plan.

The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to provide incentives that will attract, retain and motivate high performing officers, directors, employees and consultants by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards through their acquisition of a proprietary interest in our long-term success. Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the 2021 Plan.

Background and Purpose of the 2021 Plan. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to promote our long-term success and the creation of stockholder value by:

●Offering selected service providers an opportunity to acquire an interest in the success of the Company;
●Encouraging selected service providers to continue to provide services to the Company and attract new service providers with outstanding qualifications; and
●Further aligning participants’ interests with the interests of our stockholders through the award of equity compensation grants which increases their interest in the Company.

The 2021 Plan permits the grant of the following types of equity-based incentive awards: (i) stock options (which can be either ISOs or NQSOs), (ii) SARs, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) stock units, and (v) other equity awards. The vesting of equity awards can be based on either continuous service and/or performance goals. Awards are evidenced by a written agreement between the participant and the Company.

Eligibility to Receive Awards. Our employees, consultants and board members and certain of our affiliated companies are eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan Committee determines, in its discretion, the selected participants who will be granted awards under the 2021 Plan. Provided that the board affirmatively acts to implement such a process, the 2021 Plan also provides that non-employee directors may elect to receive stock grants or stock units (which would be issued under the 2021 Plan) in lieu of fees that would otherwise be paid in cash.

Shares Subject to the 2021 Plan. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued under the 2021 Plan is 2,000,000 shares. The number of common shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan will be automatically increased on the thirtieth (30th) day of June of each calendar year beginning with the first June 30 following the effective date and ending with the last June 30 during the initial ten-year term of the 2021 Plan, equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis (including all outstanding common shares of the Company (on an as-converted basis)) and assuming all outstanding options and warrants have been fully exercised on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) some lesser number of common shares of the Company as determined by our board. A share that is issued pursuant to 2021 Plan award shall count as the issuance of one share and thereby reduce the remaining number of shares available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan. The shares underlying forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered, or or terminated awards (without payment of consideration), or unexercised awards shall not become available again for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, common shares of the Company surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of an award (including common shares of the Company underlying a SAR that are retained by the Company to account for the exercise price of such SAR) and/or withholding taxes in respect of an award shall not be counted against the share limit (and ISO limit if the award is an ISO). Common shares of the Company subject to “employment inducement” awards shall not count toward the share limit. Substitute awards shall also not count against the share limit, nor shall common shares of the Company subject to a substitute award again be available for awards under the 2021 Plan. In addition, to the extent an award is denominated in common shares of the Company, but paid or settled in cash, the gross number of settled common shares of the Company with respect to which such payment or settlement is made shall again be available for grants of awards pursuant to the 2021 Plan and shall not be counted against the share limit (and ISO limit if the award is an ISO). In addition, whether or not a SAR is settled with any common shares of the Company, the gross number of common shares of the Company subject to the exercise and which are used for determining the benefit payable under the SAR shall be counted against the share limit, regardless of the number of common shares of the Company actually issued to the participants upon such exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an option is exercised via a cashless exercise or net exercise or is not otherwise fully settled with common shares of the Company, then the number of common shares of the Company actually issued to the participant upon such exercise shall be counted against the share limit (and shall also be counted against the ISO limit if the option being exercised is an ISO). No fractional shares may be issued under the 2021 Plan.

Administration of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan will be administered by our board or a committee or committees appointed by our board, acting as the 2021 Plan Committee. Our board or the 2021 Plan Committee may also appoint one or more separate committees of the board, each that is composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not qualify as a “Non-Employee Directors” under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, that may administer the 2021 Plan with respect to selected service providers who are not Section 16 Persons, may grant awards under the 2021 Plan to such selected service providers and may determine all terms of such awards. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, our board may also appoint a committee, composed of one or more officers of the Company, that may authorize awards to employees (who are not Section 16 Persons) within parameters specified by the Board and consistent with any limitations imposed by applicable law. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the 2021 Plan Committee has the sole discretion, among other things, to:

●Select the individuals who will receive awards;
●Determine the terms and conditions of awards (for example, performance conditions, if any, and vesting schedule, if any);
●Correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2021 Plan or any award agreement;
●Accelerate the vesting, extend the post-termination exercise term or waive restrictions of any awards at any time and under such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, subject to the limitations set forth in the 2021 Plan;
●Permit or deny, in its discretion, a participant’s request transfer an award;
●Permit or require, in its discretion, a participant to use cashless exercise, net exercise and/or share withholding with respect to the payment of any exercise price and/or applicable tax withholding;
●Interpret the provisions of the 2021 Plan and any award agreements;
●Make all other decisions relating to the operation of the 2021 Plan;
●Make such modifications to the 2021 Plan as are necessary to effectuate the intent of the 2021 Plan as a result of any changes in the income tax, accounting, or securities law treatment of participants and the 2021 Plan;
●Make such modifications to the Plan as are necessary to effectuate the intent of the Plan as a result of any changes in the income tax, accounting, or securities law treatment of participants and the Plan; and
●Grant awards to selected service providers who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the 2021 Plan.

Awards may be subject to any policy that the Board may implement on the recoupment of compensation (referred to as a “clawback” policy). The members of the Board, the 2021 Plan Committee and their delegates shall be indemnified by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law for actions taken or not taken regarding the 2021 Plan. In addition, the 2021 Plan Committee may use the 2021 Plan to issue shares under other plans or sub-plans as may be deemed necessary or appropriate, such as to provide for participation by non-U.S. employees and those of any of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

Types of Awards.

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to acquire common shares at a fixed exercise price over a fixed period of time. The 2021 Plan Committee will determine, among other terms and conditions, the number of shares covered by each stock option and the exercise price of the shares subject to each stock option, but such per share exercise price will not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant of the stock option. The fair market value of a common share for the purposes of pricing our awards shall be equal to the regular session closing price for our shares as reported by the NYSE American on the date of determination. Stock options may not be repriced or exchanged without stockholder approval, and no re-load options may be granted under the 2021 Plan.

Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan may be either ISOs or NQSOs. To the extent the applicable award agreement has no such designation, the option shall be a NQSO. At the discretion of the 2021 Plan Committee, ISOs may be granted only to an employee of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a subsidiary of the Company. As required by the Code and applicable regulations, ISOs are subject to various limitations not imposed on NQSOs. For example, the exercise price for any ISO granted to any employee owning more than 10% of our common shares may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant, and such ISO must expire no later than five years after the grant date. The aggregate fair market value (determined at the date of grant) of common shares subject to all ISOs held by a participant that are first exercisable in any single calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. ISOs may not be transferred other than upon death, or to a revocable trust where the participant is considered the sole beneficiary of the stock option while it is held in trust. In order to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-2(b), the 2021 Plan provides that no more than 2,000,000 shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs. The number of common shares that shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs under the Plan will be automatically increased on the thirtieth (30 th) day of June of the calendar year beginning with the first June 30 following the effective date and ending with the last June 30 during the initial ten-year term of the 2021 Plan, equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the common shares on a fully diluted basis (including all outstanding common shares (on an as-converted basis)) and assuming all outstanding options and warrants have been fully exercised on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year; (B) such lesser number of common shares as determined by our board; and (C) 10,000,000.

A stock option granted under the 2021 Plan generally cannot be exercised until it becomes vested. The 2021 Plan Committee establishes the vesting schedule of each stock option at the time of grant. The maximum term for stock options granted under the 2021 Plan may not exceed ten years from the date of grant although the 2021 Plan Committee may establish a shorter period at its discretion. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the 2021 Plan must be paid in full at the time of exercise, either with cash, or through a broker-assisted “cashless” exercise and sale program, or net exercise, or through another method approved by the 2021 Plan Committee. The optionee must also make arrangements to pay any taxes that we are required to withhold at the time of exercise.

SARs. A SAR is the right to receive, upon exercise, an amount equal to the the fair market value of the shares on the date of the SAR’s exercise over the aggregate base price of the shares covered by the exercised portion of the SAR. (which shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the related share on the date of grant except with respect to outstanding SARs being assumed or SARs being granted in exchange for cancellation of SARs granted by another issuer as provided under the 2021 Plan or with respect to SARs that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code) multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. The 2021 Plan Committee determines the terms of SARs, including the base price (provided that such per share base price generally will not be less than the fair market value of a common share of on the date of grant), the vesting and the term of the SAR. The maximum term for SARs granted under the 2021 Plan may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, subject to the discretion of the 2021 Plan Committee to establish a shorter period. Settlement of a SAR may be in common shares or in cash, or any combination thereof, as the 2021 Plan Committee may determine. SARs may not be repriced or exchanged without stockholder approval. In the event of a participant’s termination of employment or service, the holder of a SAR may exercise his or her SAR for such period of time as specified in his or her SAR agreement.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is the grant of common shares to a participant and such shares may be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions or goals are met. The 2021 Plan Committee also will determine any other terms and conditions of an award of restricted stock. In determining whether an award of restricted stock should be made, and/or the vesting schedule for any such award, the 2021 Plan Committee may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate. During the period of vesting, the participant will not be permitted to transfer the restricted shares but will generally have voting and dividend rights (subject to vesting) with respect to such shares, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement.

Stock units. Stock units are the right to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares covered by the stock units at some future date after the grant. The 2021 Plan Committee will determine all of the terms and conditions of an award of stock units, including the vesting period. Upon each vesting date of a stock unit, participant will become entitled to receive an amount equal to the number of shares indicated in the grant notice, or, if expressed in dollar terms, the fair market value of the shares on the settlement date. Payment for vested stock units may be in common shares or in cash, or any combination thereof, as the 2021 Plan Committee may determine. Settlement of vested stock units will generally occur at or around the time of vesting but the 2021 Plan Committee may permit a participant to defer such compensation until a later point in time. Stock units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation for us, and a holder of a stock unit has no rights other than those of a general creditor.

Other Equity-Based Awards. The 2021 Plan also provides that other equity awards, which derive their value from the value of our shares or from increases in the value of our shares, may be granted. Substitute awards may be issued under the 2021 Plan in assumption of or substitution for or exchange for awards previously granted by an entity which we (or an affiliate) acquire.

Limited Transferability of Awards. Awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally are not transferrable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However, the 2021 Plan Committee may in its discretion permit the transfer of awards other than ISOs. Generally, where transfers are permitted, they will be permitted only by gift to a member of the participant’s immediate family or to a trust or other entity for the benefit of the participant and/or member(s) of his or her immediate family.

Termination of Employment, Death or Disability. The 2021 Plan generally determines the effect of the termination of employment on awards, which determination may be different depending on the nature of the termination, such as terminations due to cause, resignation, death, or disability and the status of the award as vested or unvested, unless the award agreement or a participant’s employment agreement or other agreement provides otherwise.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Any dividends or dividend equivalents distributed in the form of shares under the 2021 Plan will count against the 2021 Plan’s maximum share limit. The 2021 Plan also provides that dividend equivalents will not be paid or accrue on unexercised stock options or unexercised SARs. Dividends and dividend equivalents that may be paid or accrue with respect to unvested awards shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying award and shall only be distributed to the extent that such vesting conditions are satisfied.

Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization.

In the event of the following actions:

●stock split of our outstanding common shares;
●stock dividend;
●dividend payable in a form other than shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the shares;
●consolidation;
●combination or reclassification of the shares;
●recapitalization;
●spin-off; or
●other similar occurrences,

Then the following shall each be equitably and proportionately adjusted by the 2021 Plan Committee:

●then the following shall each be equitably and proportionately adjusted by the 2021 Plan Committee:
●maximum number of shares that can be issued under the 2021 Plan (along with the ISO share issuance limit);
●number and class of shares issued under the 2021 Plan and subject to each award;
●exercise prices of outstanding awards; and
●number and class of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Change in Control. The 2021 Plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the 2021 Plan Committee and evidenced in an award agreement, in the event that (a) a change in control occurs; and (b) a participant is employed by, or otherwise providing services to, the Company or any of its affiliates immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control, then upon consummation of the change in control, the 2021 Plan Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may: (i) provide that any unvested or unexercisable portion of any award carrying a right to exercise become fully vested and exercisable and (ii) cause the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to an award granted under the 2021 Plan to lapse and such awards shall be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved at target performance levels. If the 2021 Plan Committee determines in its discretion to accelerate the vesting of options or SARs in connection with a change in control, the 2021 Plan Committee shall also have discretion in connection with such action to provide that all options and/or SARs outstanding immediately prior to such change in control shall expire on the effective date of such change in control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a participant’s employment or service is terminated without cause within twenty-four (24) months following a change in control, the time-vesting portion of any award granted to such participant shall accelerate and vest in full, and the performance-vesting portion of any such award shall vest at target level, in each case upon the date of termination of employment or service of such participant.

Term of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan is in effect until September 19, 2034 or until earlier terminated by the Board. Outstanding awards shall continue to be governed by their terms after the termination of the Plan.

Governing Law. The 2021 Plan shall be governed by the laws of the state of Nevada except for conflict of law provisions.

Amendment and Termination of the 2021 Plan. The Board generally may amend or terminate the 2021 Plan at any time and for any reason, except that it must obtain stockholder approval of material amendments to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules but no such amendment or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a participant under any award without such participant’s consent. The board shall obtain approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of any rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are traded or other applicable law. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the 2021 Plan, the 2021 Plan Committee may amend the terms of any award, prospectively or retroactively, provided, however, that no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any participant without his or her consent.

We also issued to LeeAnn Rohmann, our Chief Executive Officer, options to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock upon completion of our initial public offering with an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price and which shall vest over a period of three (3) years in equal monthly installments with the first tranche vesting on the one month anniversary of the closing date of our initial public offering.
