(2)听听听Stock-Based Compensation

麻豆最新出品 grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award (such as SARs that will be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

麻豆最新出品 calculates the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. 麻豆最新出品 estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of 麻豆最新出品 common stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded 麻豆最新出品 options. 麻豆最新出品 uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject Awards.
