(a)During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted RSUs with market conditions that will vest if the Company's 45 trading day average closing stock prices equals or exceeds certain price hurdles ($41.17, $52.94 and $64.70) during the performance period of March 1, 2024 to March 1, 2028. Upon achievement of each price hurdle, one-half of the awards will vest immediately, and the other half of the awards will vest on the first anniversary of the achievement date.
Schedule of RSUs with Market Conditions Valuation Assumptions | For purposes of determining stock-based compensation expense, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of the RSUs with market conditions was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the use of various key assumptions.
Expected term (1) | 5.00 years
Expected volatility (2) | 68.06 | %
Risk-free interest rate (3) | 4.13 | %
Expected dividend (4) | — |
(1)The expected term of RSUs with market conditions granted was calculated using a four-year performance period plus one year to account for the time-based vesting requirement. (2)The expected volatility rate is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. (3)The risk-free interest rate is specific to the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with comparable expected terms as the awards, in effect at the grant date. (4)For all RSUs with market conditions granted, no dividends are expected to be paid over the contractual term of the stock options, resulting in a zero expected dividend rate.
Schedule of Employee Stock Purchase Plan Valuation Assumptions | For purposes of determining stock-based compensation expense, the grant date fair value per share estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model required the use of the following key assumptions:
| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023
Expected term (1) | 0.50 years |  | 0.50 years
Expected dividend (2) | — |  |  | — |
Expected volatility (3) | 82 | % |  | 82 | %
Risk-free interest rate (4) | 5.28 | % |  | 4.76 | %
(1)The expected term was calculated using the time period between the grant date and the purchase date. (2)No dividends are expected to be paid, resulting in a zero expected dividend rate. (3)The expected volatility rate is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. (4)The risk-free interest rate is specific to the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with comparable expected terms as the employee stock purchase rights, in effect at the grant date.
