麻豆最新出品 grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options 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 based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

In connection with the Recapitalization, all outstanding Awards with respect to 麻豆最新出品 common stock (鈥溌槎棺钚鲁銎 Awards鈥) will be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plans under which the equity awards were granted, such that a holder of a 麻豆最新出品 Award received new corresponding equity awards relating to shares of one or more of 麻豆最新出品 SiriusXM common stock (a 鈥溌槎棺钚鲁銎 Sirius XM Award鈥), 麻豆最新出品 Braves common stock (a 鈥溌槎棺钚鲁銎 Braves Award鈥) and 麻豆最新出品 Media common stock (a 鈥溌槎棺钚鲁銎 Media Award鈥) (collectively, the 鈥淎djusted 麻豆最新出品 Awards鈥).

The exercise prices and number of shares subject to the Adjusted 麻豆最新出品 Awards will be determined based on 1) the exercise prices and number of shares subject to the 麻豆最新出品 Award, 2) the distribution ratios, 3) the pre-Recapitalization trading price of 麻豆最新出品 common stock and 4) the post-Recapitalization trading prices of 麻豆最新出品 SiriusXM common stock, 麻豆最新出品 Braves common stock and 麻豆最新出品 Media common stock, such that all of the pre-Recapitalization intrinsic value of the 麻豆最新出品 Awards was allocated among the Adjusted 麻豆最新出品 Awards.

Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation, a portion of which relates to SIRIUS XM, as discussed below:

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2016, the Company granted a total of approximately 785 thousand options to purchase shares of Series C common stock. A portion of the options granted was comprised of 10 thousand options with a weighted average grant-date fair value (鈥淕DFV鈥) of $8.33 per share that vest semi-annually over 4 years. 听 听

In connection with our CEO鈥檚 employment agreement, 麻豆最新出品 granted approximately 775 thousand options of Series C common stock and 39 thousand performance-based restricted stock units of Series C common stock. Such options and restricted stock units had a grant-date fair value of $8.91 per share and $37.76 per share, respectively. These options mainly vest on December 31, 2016, and the performance-based restricted stock units cliff vest in one year, subject to satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is remeasured at each reporting period.

The Company did not grant anyoptions to purchase Series A or Series B common stock during the three months endedMarch 31, 2016. 听

麻豆最新出品 calculates the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified and certain performance-based 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.
