The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the closing stock price on the last trading day in 2020 and 2021 and the option’s respective exercise price.
The weighted average grant date fair value of the share options granted during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were RMB50.18, RMB18.97 and RMB24.61
 
(US$3.86), respectively.
The aggregate fair value of options vested and recognized as expenses as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were RMB47,284, RMB28,858 and RMB30,212
 
(US$4,741), respectively.
Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were RMB53,338, RMB38,585 and RMB24,640
 
(US$3,867), respectively.
The aggregate unrecognized share-based compensation expense was RMB17,366 (US$2,725) as of December 31, 2021, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 1.86 years.
The Company estimates the fair value of each award on grant date using the binomial option pricing model with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. The binominal model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility and the suboptimal early exercise factor. For expected volatility, the Company has made reference to historical volatilities of several comparable companies. The suboptimal early exercise factor was estimated based on the Company’s expectation of exercise behavior of the grantees. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the market yield of U.S. Treasury Bonds in effect at the time of grant. Prior to the IPO, the estimated fair value of the ordinary shares, at the option grant dates, were determined by the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. Subsequent to the IPO, fair value of the common shares is the price of the Company’s publicly traded shares. The Company’s management is ultimately responsible for the determination of the estimated fair value of its ordinary shares.
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense using the accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period, which is generally subject to graded vesting.
The following table presents assumptions used to estimate the fair values of share options granted for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021:

(i)
Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a term consistent with the contractual term of the awards.
(ii)
Dividend yield – The dividend yield is estimated based on the Company’s expected dividend policy over the expected term of the options.
(iii)
Expected volatility – Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of common shares of several comparable publicly-traded companies in the same industry.
(iv)
Expected exercise multiple – Expected exercise multiple is estimated based on changes in expected intrinsic value of the option and the likelihood of early exercise by employees.
