Noble Energy, Inc.  Index to Financial Statements Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 130 Prior to March 17, 2011, the 2005 Plan also provided for the awarding to a non-employee director of up to a maximum of 4,800 shares of restricted stock on the date of election to the Board of Directors, annual awards of 1,200 shares of restricted stock per non-employee director on February 1 of each year, and discretionary awards by the Board of Directors (with the February 1 annual and the discretionary awards made to a non-employee director during any calendar year being limited to a combined maximum of 4,800 shares of restricted stock).
The 2005 Plan was amended so that no automatic grants of restricted stock awards would be made under the 2005 Plan on or after March 17, 2011.
Discretionary grants by the Board of Directors continue to be permitted under the 2005 Plan (with the grants made to a non-employee director during any calendar year limited to a maximum of 9,600).
Restricted stock is restricted for a period of at least one year from the date of award.1988 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors The 1988 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for NonEmployee Directors of Noble Energy, Inc. , as amended, (the 1988 Plan) provided for the issuance of stock options to our nonemployee directors.
Options issued under the 1988 Plan may be exercised one year after grant and expire 10 years from the grant date.
The 1988 Plan provided for the granting of a fixed number of stock options to each non-employee director annually (20,000 stock options for the first calendar year of service and 10,000 stock options for each year thereafter) on February 1 of each year.
The 1988 Plan was terminated in 2005, and no additional options can be granted thereunder.
Stock Option Grants The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-ScholesMerton option valuation model that used the assumptions described below: ?
Expected term The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which is the grant date to the date of expected exercise or other expected settlement for options granted.
The hypothetical midpoint scenario we use considers our actual exercise and post-vesting cancellation history and expectations for future periods, which assumes that all vested, outstanding options are settled halfway between the current date and their expiration date.  ?
Expected volatility The expected volatility represents the extent to which our stock price is expected to fluctuate between the grant date and the expected term of the award.
We use the historical volatility of our common stock for a period equal to the expected term of the option prior to the date of grant.
We believe that historical volatility produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations about the future volatility of our common stock over the expected term.  ?
Risk-free rate The risk-free rate is the implied yield available on US Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.
We base our risk-free rate on a weighting of five and seven year US Treasury securities as of the date of grant.  ?
Dividend yield The dividend yield represents the value of our stock’s annualized dividend as compared to our stock’s average price for the three-year period ended prior to the date of grant.
It is calculated by dividing one full year of our expected dividends by our average stock price over the three-year period ended prior to the date of grant.
The assumptions used in valuing stock options granted were as follows:
