The amendment gives the company greater capacity to grant equity awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, allowing management and the compensation committee to issue awards at levels they deem appropriate. For investors, the key factual takeaway is that more shares are now available for future equity compensation grants; when those awards are issued, they will increase the number of outstanding shares.
