The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.68.

The aggregate intrinsic value of NQO exercises in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 represents the difference between the exercise price and the value of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise.

Performance Cash Awards (“PCAs”)
In November 2019, the Company granted PCAs under the 2017 Plan to certain employees. The PCAs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant based on the Company’s achievement of certain financial performance goals for the performance period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022, subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to acceleration provisions of the 2017 Plan. At the end of the three-year performance period, the amount of PCAs that actually vest will be 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending on the extent to which the Company meets or exceeds the achievement of those financial performance goals measured over the full three-year performance period.
The PCAs are measured initially based on a fixed amount of the awards at the date of grant and are required to be re-measured based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting date until settlement. Compensation expense for PCAs is recognized over the applicable performance periods. The Company records a liability equal to the cost of PCAs for which achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had recognized accrued liabilities of $46.5 thousand.
