Under our Performance Share Programs, participants generally have the ability to receive up to 200% of the target number of shares originally granted. Shares awarded during the six months ended May 29, 2020 include 0.4 million additional shares awarded for the final achievement of the 2017 Performance Share Program which was certified in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The remaining awarded shares were for the 2020 Performance Share Program. Shares achieved during the six months ended May 29, 2020 resulted from 200% achievement of target for the 2017 Performance Share Program.
The total fair value of performance shares achieved during the six months ended May 29, 2020 was $264 million.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Prior to April 2020, shares of common stock purchased by eligible employees through our employee stock purchase plans were issued under our 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“1997 ESPP”). In April 2020, our stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2020 ESPP”) which amended and restated the 1997 ESPP to increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the plan.
As of May 29, 2020, we had reserved 103.0 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2020 ESPP and approximately 13.3 million shares remain available for future issuance.
The assumptions used to value employee stock purchase rights during the six months ended May 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019 were as follows:
 
2020
 
2019
Expected life (in years)
0.5 - 2.0
 
0.5 - 2.0
Volatility
24% - 29%
 
35% - 37%
Risk free interest rate
1.56% - 1.58%
 
2.47% - 2.63%
 
Employees purchased 0.4 million shares at an average price of $196.45 and 0.5 million shares at an average price of $129.23 for the six months ended May 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. The intrinsic value of shares purchased during the six months ended May 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019 was $56 million and $51 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value on the date of purchase and the purchase price of the shares.
Compensation Costs
As of May 29, 2020, there was $1.91 billion of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based awards and purchase rights which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.
