The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. As of December 31, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options.
