Upon shareholder approval of the 2014 Plan, the 2013 Global Share Option Plan and Israeli Sub-Plan were terminated, other than respect to the 1,489,532 shares of common stock underlying options outstanding under such plan. 

The Company shareholders approved the 2014 Plan at the annual meeting of stockholders held July 10, 2014, pursuant to which 2,196,836 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance.

Upon shareholder approval of the 2014 Plan, during 2014, the Company issued a total of 374,504 RSU's and options to purchase an aggregate of 25,000 share of our common stock that had been previously approved by the Board and the Compensation Committee, subject to stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan, to certain employees and non-executive directors.

During 2015 the Company granted an aggregate of 182,500 options to purchase shares of our common stock to certain employees in connection with their employment with the Company. In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 240,000 shares of RSU's, of which 200,000 were granted to CEO Philip Hartstein and the remainder to certain employees in connection with their employment with the Company.

As of December 31, 2015, the remaining number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan is 1,536,670.

Total stock-based compensation for stock options and restricted stock awards, of $0.8 million and $1.4 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is for options and restricted stock awards granted to certain employees, consultants, and members of the Board of Directors.

The Company estimates the fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was used to estimate the grant date fair value per option, were as follows,

The risk-free interest rate is the United States Treasury rate for the day of the grant having a term equal to the life of the equity instrument. The volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the Company’s common stock was not publicly traded, or was not publicly traded for an extended duration at the time of the grant, an average of the historic volatilities of comparative companies was used. The dividend yield is zero percent as the Company has not made any dividend payment and has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Due to the lack of historical information, the Company determines the expected term of its stock option awards by using the simplified method, which assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to average of the contractual term and the vesting period.

As of December 31, 2015, total compensation cost not yet recognized related to unvested stock options was approximately $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 8.7 years.
