The following table summarizes information about stock options:
|  | Number of Options Outstanding |  |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share |  |  | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Balance At September 30, 2019 |  |  | 4,773,670 |  |  | $ | 8.16 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Granted |  |  | 787,500 |  |  | 50.42 |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Exercised |  |  | (989,197 | ) |  | 6.54 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Balance At June 30, 2020 |  |  | 4,529,564 |  |  | $ | 15.71 |  |  | 6.2 years |  | $ | 133,654,814 |

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2,659,265 and $1,016,206, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $6,796,175 and $2,823,706, respectively. For non-qualified stock options, the expense creates a timing difference, resulting in a deferred tax asset, which is fully reserved by a valuation allowance. The grant date fair value of the options granted by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $3,421,181 and $1,316,220, respectively. The grant date fair value of the options granted by the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $30,020,524 and $9,453,469, respectively. The intrinsic value of the options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $9,529,237 and $9,349,226, respectively. The intrinsic value of the options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $39,775,062 and $17,471,520, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the pre-tax compensation expense for all outstanding unvested stock options in the amount of $35,021,715 will be recognized in the Company’s results of operations over a weighted average period of 3.3 years. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The determination of the fair value of each stock option is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The assumptions used to value stock options are as follows:
|  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019
Dividend yield |  | — |  |  | —
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.4 – 1.8% |  |  | 1.9 – 3.1%
Volatility |  | 90.5 – 91.9% |  |  | 115%
Expected life (in years) |  | 6.25 |  |  | 6.25
Weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted |  | $38.12 |  |  | $12.21
The dividend yield is zero as the Company currently does not pay a dividend. The risk-free interest rate is based on that of the U.S. Treasury bond. Volatility is estimated based on volatility average of the Company’s Common Stock price. Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units (RSUs), including time-based and performance-based awards, were granted under the Company’s 2013 Incentive Plan and as inducements grants granted outside of the Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 0 RSUs under the 2013 Incentive Plan and 153,000 RSUs as inducement awards. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,749,071 RSUs under the 2013 Incentive Plan and 737,575 RSUs as inducement awards. At vesting, each outstanding RSU will be exchanged for one share of the Company’s Common Stock. RSU recipients may elect to net share settle upon vesting, in which case the Company pays the employee’s income taxes due upon vesting and withholds a number of shares of Common Stock of equal value. RSU awards generally vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements or the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain performance targets. The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s RSUs:
|  | Number of RSUs |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unvested at September 30, 2019 |  |  | 2,062,833 |  |  | $ | 9.43 |
Granted |  |  | 2,486,646 |  |  |  | 57.04 |
Vested |  |  | (1,155,404 | ) |  |  | 9.65 |
Forfeited |  |  | (67,000 | ) |  |  | 31.78 |
Unvested at June 30, 2020 |  |  | 3,327,075 |  |  | $ | 44.49 |
During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $7,386,943 and $941,788 of expense related to RSUs, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $20,713,488 and $4,453,169 of expense related to RSUs, respectively. Such expense is included in stock-based compensation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For RSUs, the expense creates a timing difference, resulting in a deferred tax asset, which is fully reserved by a valuation allowance. For RSUs, the grant date fair value of the award is based on the Company’s closing stock price at the grant date, with consideration given to the probability of achieving performance conditions for performance-based awards. As of June 30, 2020 the pre-tax compensation expense for all unvested RSUs in the amount of $87,634,315 will be recognized in the Company’s results of operations over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.
