2014 Equity Incentive Plan
In 2014, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc.'s Board of Directors and a majority of the stockholders adopted Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc.'s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"), which expired on January 31, 2024. Following such expiration and prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), no grants were made under the 2014 Plan. On June 6, 2024, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. held its Annual Meeting, whereby the Board of
Directors and a majority of the stockholders adopted, amended, and restated the 2014 Plan (the "Restated 2014 Plan") to extend the term of the 2014 Plan until April 15, 2034, and to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by 66,667 shares relative to the amount available for issuance at the time the 2014 Plan expired. Immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Restated 2014 Plan was terminated but any outstanding equity awards made thereunder continue to be governed by their existing terms.
2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
Effective upon the Business Combination Closing, the Company adopted the 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and as adopted by ChronoScale Holdings following the Holding Company Transaction (“2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan was approved by the Board on February 14, 2026, and by the Principal Stockholders on February 20, 2026.
The purpose of the 2026 Plan is to provide a means whereby eligible employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of the Company and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders. The key provisions, among others, of the 2026 Plan are as follows:
•The 2026 Plan will continue until terminated by the Board, but no awards shall be granted on or after the 10th anniversary of the date of the 2026 Plan’s initial adoption by the Board.
•The 2026 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, and performance stock units, incentive bonus awards, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and other service providers, to be granted from time to time as determined by the Board or its designees.
•An aggregate of 22,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2026 Plan.
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Restated 2014 Plan were terminated immediately prior to the Closing, provided that outstanding awards under the Restated 2014 Plan continued to be governed by their existing terms. Subsequently, in connection with the Holding Company Transaction, where ChronoScale Holdings became the successor issuer of ChronoScale, all outstanding equity awards under the Restated 2014 Plan and the 2026 Plan were converted into a right to receive a number of shares of common stock of ChronoScale Holdings.
As of August 31, 2026, the total number of shares authorized for grant under the 2026 Plan is shown in the table below:

Restricted Stock Awards
The Company issues time-based restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to its Board of Directors. Each RSA represents a share of the Company’s common stock, subject to forfeiture unless time-based vesting is satisfied. The fair values of the RSAs are determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
RSA activity for the three months ended August 31, 2026 is summarized below:

Restricted Stock Units
The Company issues time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting and subsequent settlement. The fair values of the RSUs are determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
RSU activity for the three months ended August 31, 2026 is summarized below:

In connection with the Business Combination, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc.'s outstanding stock options remained outstanding under the Restated 2014 Plan, and in connection with the Holding Company Transaction, such stock options were converted into a right to purchase a number of shares of common stock of ChronoScale Holdings.
