General

The Company has a 2014 GYP Holdings I Corp. Stock Option Plan, (the “Plan”) that provides for granting of stock options and other equity awards. The Plan authorizes 3,591,422 shares of common stock for issuance. The stock options granted under the plan vest over a four-year period and have a 10‑year term. The plan is designed to motivate and retain individuals who are responsible for the attainment of our primary long‑term performance goals. The plan provides a means whereby our employees and directors develop a sense of ownership and personal involvement in our development and financial success and encourage them to devote their best efforts to our business. The Company accounts for share‑based awards in accordance with ASC 718. ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all share‑based awards at fair value on the grant date (or measurement date if different) and recognition of compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.

Stock Option Awards

We utilize the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model to estimate the grant‑date fair value of all stock options. The Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model requires the use of weighted average assumptions for estimated expected volatility, estimated expected term of stock options, risk‑free rate, estimated expected dividend yield, and the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Prior to our IPO discussed in Note 1, “—Initial and Secondary Public Offerings,” we did not have sufficient history to estimate the expected volatility of our common stock price, therefore expected volatility has been based on the average volatility of peer public entities that are similar in size and industry. We estimate the expected term of all stock options based on previous history of exercises. The risk‑free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the stock option. The expected dividend yield is 0% as we have not declared any common stock dividends to date and do not expect to declare common stock dividends in the near future. The fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant was determined based on the value of the Company’s closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant. We estimate forfeitures based on our historical analysis of actual stock option forfeitures and employee turnover. Actual forfeitures are recorded when incurred and estimated forfeitures are reviewed and adjusted at least annually

The Company did not issue any stock option awards during the three months ended July 31, 2017.

Options expected to vest are unvested shares net of expected forfeitures.
