Option Modifications
 
On
May 30, 2018,
under approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company entered in to a Separation and Release Agreement with the former Chief Executive Officer. The provisions of the agreement specify that the stock options previously granted to her will continue to vest through the earlier of the date she ends her consulting services to the Company or
December 31, 2018.
As of
May 30, 2018,
these stock options are being accounted for as a non-employee option through the consulting term and are being marked-to-market. Additionally, the former Chief Executive Officer will receive
six
months of accelerated vesting of the stock options and the post-termination exercise period was extended from
three
months to
one
year after the effective date of the agreement. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$97,000
for the incremental value of the accelerated vesting and the change in the exercise period upon the signing of the agreement.

In
June 2018,
the Company granted an RSA for
50,000

the Company granted RSAs for
9,637
shares of common stock under the

months ended
June 30, 2017
was
$30,785,
respectively.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

the Company granted stock options to nonemployees to purchase
200,000
and
202,388
shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of

respectively. During the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2017,
the Company granted stock options to nonemployees to purchase
5,875
shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of

no
stock options exercised by nonemployees during the
three
and

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price history over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options, trading volume of comparable companies’ stock, look-back volatilities and the Company specific events that affected volatility in a prior period. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the history of exercises and cancellations on all past option grants made by the Company, the contractual term, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.
No
dividend yield is included as the Company has
not
issued any dividends and does
not
anticipate issuing any dividends in the future.
