Note 8 — Stock Award Plans and Stock-based Compensation

Stock Option Awards

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of its stock options. There was no income tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for share-based compensation arrangements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  

There were no stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The assumptions underlying the calculation of grant date fair value per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are as follows:

The stock price volatility for the Company’s options was determined using historical volatilities for industry peers. The risk-free interest rate was derived from U.S. Treasury rates existing on the date of grant for the applicable expected option term. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company has only very limited historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its ordinary vesting period. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that the Company has never paid, nor has any intention to pay, cash dividends.

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were 111,806  shares available for issuance under the Myomo, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”).  On January 1, 2020, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan increased by 22,980 shares pursuant to a provision in the 2018 Plan that provides that the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan will be cumulatively increased each January 1 by 4% of the number shares of common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares of common stock determined by management in consultation with members of the Board of Directors, including the compensation committee.  

 

 

Awards of restricted stock units may be net share settled upon vesting to cover the required employee statutory withholding taxes and the remaining amount is converted into shares based upon their share-value on the date the award vests. These payments of employee withholding taxes are presented in the statements of cash flows as a financing activity.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for stock awards to employees and non-employees based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.

The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line method such that the expense associated with awards is evenly recognized over the vesting period.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock option awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to employees, non-employees and directors in the statements of operations as follows:
