On June 6, 2017, Sergio Traversa, a director, resigned from the Company and the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Traversa. Pursuant to the agreement, all the outstanding vested options (which originally were to expire 90 days from termination date) as well as 68,200 unvested options granted prior to December 31, 2016, shall be exercisable until the end of the term of each option grant agreement. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded an additional expense of approximately $174,000 for the incremental fair value of the options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate range from 0.97% to 1.39% (2) expected life of 3 months to 8.9 years, (3) expected volatility range from 45.72% to 79.81%, and (4) zero expected dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company granted its employees and members of the Board of Directors 2,597,500 options to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $0.57 to $1.58 per share, a term of 10 years, and a vesting period from 4 to 4.2 years. The options have an aggregated fair value of $2.4 million that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate range from 1.84% to 2.28% (2) expected life of 6 years, (3) expected volatility range from 80.83% to 82.37%, and (4) zero expected dividends. The estimated option life was determined based on the “simplified method,” giving consideration to the overall vesting period and the contractual terms of the award. This method was used because the Company does not have sufficient historical option exercise data. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted employees, consultants, and its board members 2,225,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.95 to $2.25 with a 10-year term vesting over a 4-year period. The options have an aggregated fair value of $3.1 million that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 1.28% - 1.97% (2) expected life of 6 years, (3) expected volatility of 81.45% - 87.95%, and (4) zero expected dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted employees, consultants, and its board members 1,554,499 options to purchase the Company’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $1.79 to $3.58 and a 10 year with vesting ranging from 1 to 4.17 years. The options have an aggregated fair value of $3.2 million that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 1.56% - 1.91% (2) expected life of 6 years, (3) expected volatility of 85.01% - 94.89%, and (4) zero expected dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2017, options to purchase 3,329,794 common shares were cancelled upon the termination of employees and a board member. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company received gross proceeds of $18,105 and $15,680 for the exercise of options for 23,212 shares and 20,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock. There were no exercises of options during the year ended December 31, 2017. The fair values of all options issued and outstanding are being amortized over their respective vesting periods. The unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2017 was approximately $3.3 million. During each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded total option expense of approximately $3.1 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
