Share-based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans | Note 10. Share-based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans: The cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments is based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting period and is net of estimated forfeitures. Stock option exercises and stock awards are satisfied through the issuance of new shares. Equity incentive plan: The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaced the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the Plans), provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and stock appreciation rights. There were 36.2 million shares of common stock authorized for grant under the Plans. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved and available for awards under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is 9,936,808 shares. At June 30, 2025, there were 6.8 million shares of common stock available for grant under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum term of incentive options granted under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is ten years. The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors and its Executive Compensation Committee, which determine the persons who are to receive awards under the Plans, the number of shares subject to each award and the term and exercise price of each award. The number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards as of June 30, 2025 under the Plans were 9.5 million. The fair values of options granted under the Plans were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Year Ended June 30, | ​
​ |  | 2025 | ​ | 2024 | ​ | 2023 | ​
Dividend yield | ​ | 0.45 | % | 0.41 | % | 0.34 | %
Expected volatility | ​ | 32-36 | % | 30-37 | % | 30-36 | %
Risk-free interest rates | ​ | 3.5-4.4 | % | 3.8-4.8 | % | 2.8-4.4 | %
Expected lives (years) | ​ | 4.6 | ​ | 4.4 | ​ | 4.7 | ​
​ The dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical annual cash dividend divided by the market value of the Company’s common stock. The expected annualized volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock price over a period equivalent to the expected life of the option granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. Stock option activity under the Plans for the three years ended June 30, 2025, consists of the following (shares in thousands):
