 vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We estimate the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for our common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility data, we base our computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. We generally use the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to our lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have never paid dividends and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment. We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded. For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is
