10. Stock award plans and stock based compensation |
(a) Equity incentive plan |
In May 2014, the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), was adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by its stockholders and became effective in June 2014. The 2014 Plan replaces the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”) as the Company’s board of directors has determined not to make additional awards under the 2002 Plan. The 2014 Plan allows the compensation committee to make equity-based incentive awards to the Company’s officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants). |
Stock options expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over a period of four years. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, certain option grants may be immediately exercisable but subject to a right to repurchase, at cost, pursuant to the vesting schedule of the individual grant. |
At June 30, 2014, there were 2,452,907 shares available for future grant under the 2014 Plan. |
|
(b) Employee stock purchase plan |
In May 2014, the Company’s board of directors adopted and its stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Each employee who is a participant in the ESPP may purchase shares by authorizing payroll deductions of his or her base compensation during an offering period. Unless the participating employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, his or her accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase ordinary shares on the last business day of the offering period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day or the last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower. |
At June 30, 2014, there were 448,000 shares available for future grant under the ESPP. |
(c) Early exercise of stock options |
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a total of 51,454 and 62,706 shares of unvested stock options exercised were subject to repurchase at an aggregate price of approximately $230,000 and $275,000, respectively. These amounts are recorded as accrued and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will be reclassified to equity as the Company’s repurchase right lapses. |
(d) Valuation of employee stock options |
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options awarded to employees, which requires several key assumptions to be made. |
Weighted average assumptions used to apply this model were as follows: |

| | 2014 | | | 2013 | | | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
Risk-free interest rate(1) | | | 1.93 | % | | | 0.91 | % | | | 1.91 | % | | | 1 | % |
Expected life (years)(2) | | | 6.03 | | | | 6.03 | | | | 6.04 | | | | 6.04 | |
Expected dividend yield(3) | | | — | % | | | — | % | | | — | % | | | — | % |
Expected volatility of underlying stock(4) | | | 54.99 | % | | | 45.35 | % | | | 54.76 | % | | | 45.44 | % |
|
-1 | Risk-free interest rate—the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the award being valued is used as the risk-free interest rate. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
-2 | Expected term—the expected term for stock options granted based on a review of the period that the Company’s stock option awards are expected to be outstanding and is calculated using the simplified method, which represents the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period of the options. The Company uses the simplified method because it does not have sufficient historical option exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
-3 | Expected dividend yield—the expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since the Company has not declared dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
-4 | Expected volatility—the Company is responsible for estimating volatility. The Company has been a private company and does not have relevant historical data to develop its volatility assumptions and, therefore, analyzed the volatility of several public peer companies to support the assumptions used in its calculations for the periods presented. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(d) Summary of share-based compensation expense |
Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for stock-based awards such that the expense associated with awards is evenly recognized throughout the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of four years. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises the estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. |
