On March 12, 2014, the Company granted one of its directors, options to purchase 577 shares of its common stock at that day’s closing price of $25.48. The compensation expense related to this grant was determined as the fair value of the options using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
Expected volatility |  | 38.0%
Expected dividends |  | none
Risk free interest rate |  | 0.7%
Expected term |  | 5.0 years
The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 was $8.67. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised (i.e., the difference between the market price on the exercise date and the price paid by the employees to exercise the options) was approximately $2.3 million and $100,000, respectively, and the total amount of consideration received by the Company from the exercised options was approximately $284,000 and $31,000, respectively. At its discretion, the Company allows option holders to surrender previously owned common stock in lieu of paying the exercise price and withholding taxes.
