Stock Option Activity
The option awards issued under the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the 2014 Plan) and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan) were measured based on fair value. The Company’s fair value calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company used the simplified method of determining the expected term of stock options. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for the Company’s common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumption as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments, whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The assumptions regarding the expected term of the options and the expected volatility of the stock price are subjective, and these assumptions have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. There were no stock option grants for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $18.56 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $26.23 and $15.75 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $13.5 million and $19.5 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years and 3.2 years, respectively.
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 under the 2014 and 2018 Plans (in thousands, except share and per share data):
