 of awards that vest immediately use the contractual maturity since they are vested when issued. For stock price volatility, the Company uses public company compatibles as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option at the grant-date. The Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine an estimate of future forfeiture rates. Future stock-based compensation expense related to these options and RSUs as of December 31, 2024, to be recognized is approximately $124.8 million, which is expected to be expensed upon satisfaction of the performance condition. This amount of future stock-based compensation expense could be affected by any future option and RSU grants or by any forfeitures.

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is measured at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of the underlying common stock. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense for stock options granted to employees on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Compensation expense for RSUs is amortized using the accelerated attribution approach over the requisite service period as long as the performance condition in the form of a specified liquidity event is probable to occur. The fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is calculated at each grant date and re-measured at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the resulting change in value, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the periods in which the related services are rendered. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based and a performance-based requirement. The service condition is a stated service period generally requiring 36 months of service, with the total number of RSUs awarded vesting on a cliff basis after the 36-month anniversary date of the grant. The performance-based condition is an event-based criteria that will be satisfied as to any then-outstanding RSUs on the first to occur of a ‘Qualifying Transaction” defined as: (1) the
