Restricted Stock Units Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock units. The time-based restricted stock units granted generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. The following table summarizes restricted stock units activity from August 31, 2019 through August 31, 2020:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan The maximum aggregate number of shares that are available for issuance under the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is 12,000,000. Employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP after 90 days of employment with the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation, as defined in the ESPP, at a price equal to 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of August 31, 2020, 2,290,167 shares remained available for issue under the 2011 ESPP. The fair value of shares issued under the ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the model for each respective period:
| Fiscal Year Ended August 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Expected dividend yield | 0.4 | % |  | 0.6 | % |  | 0.6 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 1.9 | % |  | 2.3 | % |  | 1.4 | %
Expected volatility (1) | 30.7 | % |  | 28.6 | % |  | 23.0 | %
Expected life | 0.5 years |  |  | 0.5 years |  |  | 0.5 years |
(1) | The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility derived from the Company’s common stock.
