Stock Options
 
The fair value of the stock options was estimated at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgement. The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are as follows:
 
      
  For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
  2025   2024
Exercise Price
$1.90 to $2.06   $2.60 to $3.69
Fair value of Company common stock
$1.90 to $2.06   $2.60 to $3.69
Dividend yield

Expected volatility
71% to 75%   77% to 79%

Expected life (years) remaining
6.10 to 6.25   6.10 to 6.25
