Share-based payment
 
The employees of the Group participate in share-based compensation plans under which share options and PSUs may be granted.
 
(a)
Share options
In December 2014 and August 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the establishment of the Phase I Share Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the Phase II Share Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to grant a maximum of 20,644,803 Class A ordinary shares and maximum of 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares. respectively. The shares reserved for grants under the two plans were treated as treasury shares in the consolidated financial statements.
Options granted under the 2014 Plan and 2015 Plan are valid and effective for 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest evenly over four years. The Group originally determined that the vesting period would commence no later than the grant date and would end either on the date 6 months after the IPO date or on the service condition ending date, whichever was later. Before the IPO, the Group revised the vesting period to reflect the best available estimate of the IPO date. Before the successful IPO, any change in the estimate of the IPO date resulted in an adjustment of share-based compensation expenses on cumulative basis in the period when such change was made.
The Group does not have statutory or constructive obligations to purchase or repay options by cash.

For the year
s
ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recognized RMB70 million, RMB129 million, RMB19 million of expenses related to PSUs, respectively.
The Group determined the underlying equity fair value of the Company based on its stock price as of the grant date. Based on fair value of the underlying equity, the Group uses Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value of the share unit as of the grant date. The risk-free rate was estimated based on the yield of the U.S treasury bond with a maturity date similar to the maturity date of the share unit plus the country risk premium of China. Volatility was estimated at grant date based on the average of the historical volatilities of the comparable companies over a period of time commensurable in length to the time to maturity of the share unit. Dividend yield was estimated based on management’s best estimate at the grant date. The following table sets forth the key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo Simulation model for the share units granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
