STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of RSUs is estimated using the Company's stock price on the grant date. The fair value of options and employee stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes model on the grant date. The Black-Scholes model determines the fair value of share-based payment awards based on assumptions including the Company's stock price on the date of grant, volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors and risk free interest rate. The MSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo pricing model, which uses the Company's stock price, the Index value, expected volatilities of the Company's stock price and the Index, correlation coefficients and risk free interest rates to determine the fair value.

The Company did not grant options during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company did not grant employee stock purchase rights during the three months ended December 31, 2015. The fair values of the employee stock purchase rights granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Expected life (years)	0.5			0.5
Risk-free interest rate	0.1		%	0.1		%
Volatility	57		%	57		%
Weighted average fair value	$	1.80		$	2.57

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of the RSUs awarded was $6.87 and $5.01 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, as compared to $5.82 and $8.20 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share was calculated based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the respective grant dates.

The following tables summarize the allocation of the stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):
