The grant date fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

On March 3, 2021, the Company granted 1.27 million performance-based stock options to certain of its executive officers, which are included in the stock option tables and associated disclosures above. The awards were granted under the 2020 EIP with an exercise price of $1.88 per share, the closing sales price as reported on the Nasdaq on the date of grant. The performance-based stock options are eligible to vest subject to the satisfaction of the service-based vesting requirements and attainment of share price target goals, a market-based condition. No performance-based stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company uses the Monte Carlo Simulation model to evaluate the derived service period and fair value of awards with market conditions, including assumptions of historical volatility and risk-free interest rate commensurate with the vesting term.

 

The Company used the following assumptions to calculate the fair value of each performance-based stock option:
