The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. The number of options that were in-the-money was 22,841,214 at January 31, 2024. The Company grants option awards to certain executives that contain service and market conditions. The options will become exercisable over five years, subject to continued service by the executive, with 20% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the balance vesting monthly over the subsequent four years. Separate and apart from the time-based vesting schedule, the options are also subject to a market condition requiring the trading price of Copart, Inc. common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market to be greater than or equal to 125% of the exercise price of the options, determined both (i) at the time of any exercise, and (ii) based on the closing price on each of the twenty consecutive trading days preceding the date of any exercise. The exercise price of the options is equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the awards is determined at the grant date using either Lattice or Monte Carlo model, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.71% to 4.37%, estimated volatility ranging from 25.2% to 29.8%, and no expected dividends. The total estimated compensation expense to be recognized by the Company over the five-year service period for these options is $50.1 million and will be recognized using the accelerated attribution method over each vesting tranche of the award. The Company recognized $4.2 million and $6.5 million in compensation expense related to these awards in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
