Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value on the date of grant of stock options issued. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Company’s stock price, historical stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. With respect to restricted stock awards, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period equal to the grant date fair value of the shares awarded in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation. To the extent non-vested restricted stock awards include performance or market vesting conditions, management uses the requisite service period to recognize the cost associated with the award.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 76,250 stock options with a grant date aggregate fair value of $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted 383,375 stock options with a grant date aggregate fair value of $0.5 million. The options granted in both periods range in exercise price from $0.41 to $24.00 per share, and provide for vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, with 30% of the award vesting on each of the first two anniversaries thereof, and 20% of the award vesting on each of the next two anniversaries thereof.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $0.7 million and $2.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards.
As of September 30, 2017, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million related to equity awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of 2.23 years. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for equity awards will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.
There were no stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.
On May 18, 2017 the Company adopted the 2017 Supplemental Incentive Plan (the "2017 SIP"), which provides participating executives of the Company with the opportunity to earn cash payments in ratable installments over the last three quarters of 2017, based on the Company's year-to-date performance at the end of each respective period, commencing with the second quarter of 2017. In order to be eligible to participate in the 2017 SIP, each participant therein had to agree to the cancellation of all of such participant's respective outstanding equity incentive awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the participants forfeited an aggregate of 963,493 options.
