Year ended December 31 |  |  | 2013 |  |  |  | 2014 |  |  |  | 2015 |
Risk-free interest rate (1) |  |  | 0.11% - 2.66% |  |  |  | 0.11% - 2.66% |  |  |  | 0.11% - 2.66% |
Expected life (2) |  |  | 2-5 years |  |  |  | 2-5 years |  |  |  | 2-5 years |
Expected volatility (3) |  |  | 39.17% - 42.04% |  |  |  | 38.15% - 42.04% |  |  |  | 38.15% - 42.04% |
Dividend yield (4) |  |  | Nil |  |  |  | Nil |  |  |  | Nil |
| (1) | Risk-free interest rate
Risk-free interest rate adopted the yield to maturity of United States government bonds with the same maturity as the respective expected term of the options.
| (2) | Expected life
The expected life was estimated as the average between the vesting term of the options and the original contractual term.
| (3) | Expected volatility
The expected volatility of the underlying ADS during the life of the options was calculated based on the Company's historical stock price volatility over the period from initial public offering through to the grant date.
| (4) | Dividend yield
The dividend yield was expected to be nil based on the Company's historical dividend distribution record and its policy.
| (5) | Share price
The fair value of the ordinary shares on the grant date was the closing price of the Company's stock at each grant date. The fair value for the share equity of Actions Technology Zhuhai was the valuation value analyzed by the independent third party.
