10. Stock incentive plans

 

In March 2011, our board of directors approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) under which 5,511,288 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance.  The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatuatory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of our common stock, stock units, and performance cash awards.  As of January 1 of each year, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our stock incentive plan shall automatically be increased by a number equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding, (b) 3,000,000 shares of common stock and (c) as determined by our board of directors.

 

No further awards will be made under our Amended and Restated 2001Stock Incentive Plan (“2001 Plan”), which terminated pursuant to its term.  Options outstanding under the 2001 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

 

The weighted average assumptions used for newly issued stock option grants for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were an expected term of 6.2 years, an expected volatility of 50%, a risk free rate of return of 0.95% and no expected dividends.

The $1,154 decrease in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, is primarily a result of the reversal of $650 in stock-based compensation expense for unvested options for two senior executives who left the Company.
