The Company entered into two employment agreements effective May 1, 2014.

The employment agreements can be terminated with six-months’ notice and contain severance provisions. In addition, the employment agreements provide for the grant of (1) an aggregate of 539,116 fully vested stock options to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price equal to the common stock price issued to the public in connection with an IPO and (2) stock options to purchase an aggregate number of common shares such that, upon the closing of an IPO, the holders will have options equal to 2.2% of the number of fully diluted shares of the Company, which vest over four years.  In addition, under the employment agreement with the CEO, the Company is obligated to grant stock options to purchase an aggregate number of common shares such that, upon the pricing of an IPO, the CEO will have options equal to 5% of the number of fully diluted shares of the Company, which vest over 4 years.

 

In accordance with these employment agreements, 539,116 stock options were granted upon the effective date of the Company’s IPO registration statement, and were 100% vested on the grant date.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these options of approximately $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  The fair value of each stock option to purchase common stock of the Company granted on June 30, 2014 was estimated by management using the Black Scholes option pricing model applying the following assumptions: (i) expected term of 6.25 years, (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.94%, (iii) volatility of 113%, (iv) no dividend yield and (v) a grant date fair value of common stock of $6.00 per share.

 

Also in accordance with the above three employment agreements, an additional 955,932 stock options were granted upon the effective date of the Company's registration statement, which vest over a four-year period beginning from November 12, 2013, the date of the Sonkei Merger.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these options of approximately $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  The fair value of each stock option to purchase common stock of the Company granted on June 30, 2014 was estimated by management using the Black Scholes option pricing model applying the following assumptions: (i) expected term of 6.25 years, (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.94%, (iii) volatility of 113%, (iv) no dividend yield and (v) a grant date fair value of common stock of $6.00 per share.

 

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted in June 2014 was $5.11 per share.
