 fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing or equity valuation model that is applied in a manner consistent with the fair value measurement objectives of ASC 718, is based on established principles of financial theory and reflects all of the substantive terms and conditions of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to value stock option grants to employees, non-employees and directors. The fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used to determine the fair value of restricted stock units and stock options.The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) expected dividends. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with expected term assumption. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the expected term for options granted to employees whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the options due to its lack of sufficient historical data, except for when awards are determined to be out-of-the-money, as was the case for when applying modification accounting related to the stock option exchange in August 2024. Refer to Note 8 for details on the stock option exchange. 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 the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.The Company’s stock-based compensation awards are subject to service-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense related to awards to employees and directors with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the grant date fair value over the associated service period of the award, which is typically the vesting term.Net Loss per ShareBasic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted common stock,
