Expected life (years)

5

Risk-free interest rate

2.49%

Expected volatility

67.84%

Expected dividend yield

0%

 

(1)    Expected Life: The expected life was determined based on the option's contractual term and employees' expected early exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.

 

(2)     Risk Free Rate: The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that corresponds to the expected term of the option calculated on the granted date.

 

(3)     Expected Volatility: Expected volatility is computed based on the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return of days when the stock price changed over the historical period of the expected life of the options.

 

(4)     Dividend Yield: The expected dividend yield is zero. The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
