The Company maintains the 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Stock Option Plan”) which provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to purchase up to 3,142,857 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. At June 30, 2014, there were 648,952 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 Stock Option Plan. |
Terms of restricted stock awards and stock option agreements, including vesting requirements, are determined by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the 2011 Stock Option Plan. Options and restricted stock awards granted by the Company generally vest based on the grantee’s continued service with the Company during a specified period following grant. Awards generally vest ratably over four years, with 25% cliff vesting at the one-year anniversary for new employee awards. During 2013, the Company also granted a pool of option awards which vest ratably over one year. All awards are exercisable from the date of grant for a period of ten years. The stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was as follows: |

For stock option awards, the fair value of the options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which options are granted. The fair value of the options is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The weighted average grant date fair value per share relating to outstanding stock options granted under the 2011 Stock Option Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $9.61 and $8.90, respectively. |
The fair value of each option granted to employees and directors during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 under the 2011 Stock Option Plan has been calculated on the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Six Months Ended | | | | | | | | | |
30-Jun-14 | 30-Jun-14 | | | | | | | | |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | | | | | | |
Expected volatility | | | 102.15 | % | | | 100.88 | | | | | | | | | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 1.82 | % | | | 1.9 | % | | | | | | | | |
Expected term | | | 6.06 years | | | | 6.02 years | | | | | | | | | |
Expected dividend yield: The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. |
Risk-free interest rate: The Company determined the risk-free interest rate by using a weighted average equivalent to the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the date of grant. |
Expected volatility: As the Company had been operating as a private company, there is not sufficient historical volatility for the expected term of the options. Therefore, the Company used an average historical share price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of comparable companies. |
Expected term (in years): Expected term represents the period that the Company’s share option grants are expected to be outstanding. As the Company had been operating as a private company, there is not sufficient historical share data to calculate the expected term of the options. Therefore, the Company elected to utilize the “simplified” method to value share option grants issued to employees. Under this approach, the weighted average expected life is presumed to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. |
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical termination behavior. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, a forfeiture rate of 10% was applied. |
|
For options granted to nonemployees, the expected life of the option used is ten years, which is the contractual term of each such option. All other assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value are generally consistent with the assumptions used for options granted to employees. |
