Through the 2015 Equity Plan, the Company expands its alternatives for providing cost-effective and competitive equity compensation awards by being able to offer its employees and directors various equity awards referenced below. As of May 27, 2015, the effective date of the 2015 Equity Plan (the &#8220;Effective Date&#8221;), there are approximately 170 employees and 7 non-employee directors of the Company who will be eligible for awards thereunder.

(e) Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Plan.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") held on May 27, 2015, (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved the Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Plan (the "2015 Equity Plan") to replace the Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. 2010 Equity Plan (the "2010 Equity Plan"). Through the 2015 Equity Plan, the Company expands its alternatives for providing cost-effective and competitive equity compensation awards by being able to offer its employees and directors various equity awards referenced below. As of May 27, 2015, the effective date of the 2015 Equity Plan (the "Effective Date"), there are approximately 170 employees and 7 non-employee directors of the Company who will be eligible for awards thereunder. However, less than 25 key employees of the Company, in addition to all of the Company's non-employee directors, are expected to receive future awards under the 2015 Equity Plan.
The 2015 Equity Plan provides for equity awards including stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other equity-based awards payable in cash or stock to key employees and directors. Under the 2015 Equity Plan, the Company will have the ability to grant up to 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which includes approximately 34,776 unused shares as of the Effective Date under the 2010 Equity Plan which rollover to the 2015 Equity Plan. The number of shares granted to eligible participants will be determined by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis based on performance and market research to ensure a reasonable and competitive total compensation package. It is anticipated that equity compensation awards will include vesting provisions that will require key employees to remain at the Company for a defined period of time or risk losing all or a portion of each equity grant.
All outstanding equity awards granted under the 2010 Equity Plan will continue to be exercisable and vest in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such awards, but no new awards will be made under the 2010 Equity Plan.
A summary description of the material features of the 2015 Equity Plan is set forth under the heading "THIRD PROPOSAL – GUARANTY FEDERAL BANCSHARES, INC. 2015 EQUITY PLAN in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2015. The summary and the above description of the 2015 Equity Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 Equity Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
