Equity Incentive Plan Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has granted share-based payment awards to employees, non-employee directors and service providers of the Company under the Augmedix, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”).
The 2020 Plan authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance awards, cash awards, and stock awards. Certain awards provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control. Options issued may have a contractual life of up to 10 years and may be exercisable in cash or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. Vesting generally occurs over a period of not greater than four years.
The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan did increase on January 1, 2022 and 2023 and will increase each year thereafter through 2030 by the number of shares equal to the lesser of 5% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the immediately
preceding December 31st, or a number as may be determined by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2023, 326,495 shares remained available for grant under the 2020 Plan.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the following expense categories in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Research and development 432  323 
Cost of revenues 125  89 
   Total $ 2,471  $ 2,112 

No income tax benefits have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for share-based compensation arrangements and $14 thousand of share-based compensation costs have been capitalized as property and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The grant date fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected Volatility 57.1  % 54.8  %
Risk-free rate 4.0  % 2.2  %

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock option awards granted was $1.24 and $1.19 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
