Determining the fair value of share incentive awards

The fair value of each share incentive grant was determined by the Company using the Black-Scholes options pricing model.

Assumptions used in the option pricing models are discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Expected volatility. The expected volatility was based on the historical share volatilities of a number of the Company’s publicly listed peers over a period equal to the expected terms of the options, as the Company did not have a sufficient trading history to use the volatility of its own ordinary shares.

Fair value of ordinary shares. The fair value of the ordinary shares was based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares on The Nasdaq Global Market on the last trading day prior to the date of grant.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate was based on the US Treasury 10-year bond yield in effect at the time of grant.

Expected term. The expected term was determined after giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards, graded vesting schedules ranging from one to three years and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of the Company’s share-based awards.

Expected dividend. According to the terms of the awards, the exercise price of the options is adjusted to take into account any dividends paid. As a result dividends were not required as an input to the model, as these reductions in the share price are offset by a corresponding reduction in exercise price.

A summary of the assumptions applicable to the share options issued in the current financial year is as follows:
