(*) Options that were granted on January 3, 2019 with vesting that commences before December 31, 2018.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of the awards outstanding as of December 31, 2020 is US$1,084,465. These amounts represent the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s stock price of US$ 8.61 as of December 31, 2020, less the weighted exercise price. This represents the potential amount received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

The fair value of options granted was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following are the data and assumptions used:

 

    2020     2019  
Dividend yield     0       0  
Expected volatility (%) (*)     52 %     54 %
Risk-free interest rate (%) (**)     0.23 %     1.56-2.39 %
Expected term of options (years) (***)     5       5  
Exercise price (US dollars)     3.15-3.78       3.15  
Share price (US dollars)     7.63       6.3  
Fair value (US dollars)     4.83-5.17       4.19  

 

  (*) Due to the low trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock, the expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the share price of other public companies that operate in the same industry sector as the Company (agricultural chemical industry).
     
  (**) The risk-free interest rate represented the risk-free rate of US$ zero – coupon US Government Loans.
     
  (***) Due to the fact that the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data, the expected term was determined based on the “simplified method” in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

 

The total fair value estimation of the non-cash compensation of the grant at 2020 and 2019 was approximately $453,976 and $440,848, respectively. Costs incurred in respect of stock-based compensation for employees and directors, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $492,619 and $438,670, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2020, there are 76,730 options available for future grants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.
