WARRANT AND OPTION VALUATION
The Company has computed the fair value of certain warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are recorded as a reduction of previously expensed amount at the time of occurrence. The expected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of the Company over a period equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
The Company grants Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to employees, executives, and members of the Board of Directors under the Company’s equity incentive plan. RSUs represent a right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting and have no exercise price. The RSUs vest ratably over service periods of one to three years from the date of grant, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company. Upon vesting, the RSUs automatically settle and convert into unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
