Share-Based Compensation

8. Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock option awards to employees, directors and consultants from its 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The estimated fair value of options granted is determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting fair value is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards.

Share-based compensation expense for options granted under the 2016 Plan is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and consultants under the 2016 Plan. The shares underlying the RSU awards have vesting terms of four years from the date of grant subject to the recipient's continuous service and subject to accelerated vesting in specified circumstances. The fair value of the RSUs granted is measured based on the market value of

the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards.
