In May 2018, stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which provided for an additional 400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be granted under the plan. Stock-Based Compensation Forrester recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation in net income over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock-based compensation was recorded in the following expense categories (in thousands):
|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |

|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.34 | % |  |  | 0.96 | % |  |  | 1.80 | % |  |  | 0.81 | %
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 1.6 | % |  |  | 1.9 | % |  |  | 1.9 | % |  |  | 1.9 | %
Expected life |  | 0.5 Years |  |  | 0.5 Years |  |  | 0.5 Years |  |  | 0.5 Years |
Expected volatility |  |  | 25 | % |  |  | 26 | % |  |  | 22 | % |  |  | 24 | %
Weighted average fair value |  | $ | 10.87 |  |  | $ | 8.50 |  |  | $ | 8.72 |  |  | $ | 8.32 |
