As part of the Series D and E Convertible Preferred share investment agreements, the investors received warrants to purchase ordinary shares. The Company accounted for these warrants as equity instruments based on the guidance of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, ASC 480-10, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, its related FASB staff positions, ASC 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” and the AICPA Technical Practice Aid for accounting for preferred shares and warrants, including the roadmap for accounting for freestanding financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock.

Significant terms of the warrants to purchase ordinary shares that were issued to purchasers of the Series D and E Convertible Preferred shares are as follows as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

	Warrants for ordinary shares
	December 31,				Exercise price

January 22, 2018		-		203,241	$	3.59
July 21, 2018		-		304,863	$	3.59

In the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, warrants to purchase 504,225 and 1,418,711 ordinary shares, respectively, were cashlessly exercised, resulting in the issuance of 437,081 and 803,138 ordinary shares, respectively. Also, in the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 warrants to purchase 3,879 and 6,498 ordinary shares, respectively, with an exercise price of $3.59 per share were exercised for cash.

Pursuant to a credit facility that the Company entered into in January 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”) which was fully paid in December 2013, the Company issued to the lenders under the Credit Agreement 975,644 warrants to purchase Series H Convertible Preferred shares at an exercise price of $18.77 per share. The warrants were exercised on a cashless basis in January 2016, resulting in the issuance of 315,155 ordinary shares.

Until the IPO in October 2015, the Company maintained and granted option awards under the 2003 Share Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and the 2013 Equity Incentive Share Option Plan (the “2013 Plan”) for the Company’s officers, directors, employees and advisors. The 2003 Plan and the 2013 Plan terminated as of the IPO as to future awards, but they continue to govern option awards previously granted thereunder.

In September 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The Company’s shareholders approved the 2015 Plan in September 2015. Under the 2015 Plan, the Company can issue various types of equity compensation awards such as restricted shares, performance shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units, long-term cash award and other share-based awards. The options granted generally have a four-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Options granted under the 2015 Plan generally have a four-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Options granted under the 2015 Plan that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan vest in equal installments over a three-year period.

On December 31, 2018, in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Plan, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan automatically increased by 4% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares as of December 30, 2018. As a result, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan increased from 23,307,208 shares to 27,035,515 shares. As of December 31, 2018, 13,843,105 ordinary shares are available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

In September 2015, the Company adopted an ESPP to encourage and enable eligible employees to acquire ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares purchased through accumulated payroll deductions on an after-tax basis. The ESPP is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code and the provisions of the ESPP will be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of such section. The Company began its offerings under the ESPP on August 1, 2016. The Company issued 347,193 ordinary shares for the plan periods ended through December 31, 2018.

On December 31, 2018, in accordance with the terms of the ESPP, the number of shares available for purchase by eligible employees who participate in the ESPP automatically increased by 1% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares outstanding on December 30, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 3,122,410 ordinary shares are available for offering under the ESPP.

The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model for all equity grants. For market condition awards, the Company also applied the Monte-Carlo simulation model, with the following underlying assumptions:
