12. Equity Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

In January 2021, we adopted the Dynavax Technologies Corporation 2021 Inducement Award Plan (“2021 Inducement Plan”), pursuant to which we reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan to be used exclusively for grants of awards to individuals who were not previously employees or directors of the Company. In June 2021, we amended the 2021 Inducement Plan (“Amended 2021 Inducement Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved under the 2021 Inducement Plan to 3,250,000.

In May 2021, the stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Amended and Restated 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 1,850,000.

As of June 30, 2021, the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (“Amended 2018 EIP”), the Amended 2021 Inducement Plan and the Amended and Restated 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are our active plans. Under the Amended 2018 EIP, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to employees and directors (subject to adjustment for certain changes in capitalization) is 22,517,869.

Under our stock-based compensation plans, option awards generally vest over a three or four-year period contingent upon continuous service, and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant (or earlier upon termination of continuous service). Option activity under our stock-based compensation plans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

The fair value-based measurement of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of each RSU is determined at the date of grant using our closing stock price. The fair value of each PSU is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method on the date of grant. The weighted-average assumptions used in the calculations of these fair value measurements are as follows:

Compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included reversal of expenses related to cancellation of certain equity grants in the first quarter of 2020.
