الأسهم الممنوحة أو خيارات الأسهم أو حقوق زيادة الأسهم) في بياناتها المالية، بما في ذلك المعاملات مع الموظفين أو غيرهم يتم تسويتها نقدا اأو موجودات اأخرى اأو اأدوات حقوق ملكية للمنساأة. يتم إدراج متطلبات محددة لمعاملات تسديد الأسهم وتسوية النقدية على أساس الأسهم، وكذلك تلك التي يكون لدى المنشأة أو المورد خيار من أدوات نقدية أو حقوق ملكية. تم إصدار المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 في

المحاسبة الدولي رقم) (بدف 748k، 128 صفحة). ال يشرح الدليل األحكام التفصيلية للمعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم 2 فحسب، بل يتناول أيضا تطبيقه في العديد من المواقف العملية. وبسبب تعقيد وتنوع جوائز الدفع على أساس الأسهم في الممارسة العملية، فإنه ليس من الممكن دائما أن تكون نهائية فيما يتعلق بالإجابة الصحيحة. ومع ذلك، في هذا الدليل سهم ديلويت معك نهجنا لإيجاد الحلول التي نعتقد أنها وفقا للهدف من المعيار. طبعة خاصة من نشرة إاس بلوس الإخبارية سوف تجد ملخصا من أربع صفحات للمعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية 2 في طبعة خاصة من نشرة إاس بلوس الإخبارية (بدف 49k). تعريف الدفع على أساس األسهم إن الدفع القائم على األسهم هو معاملة تتلقى فيها المنشأة بضائع أو خدمات إما كمقابل لألدوات المالية الخاصة بها أو بتحمل مطلوبات للمبالغ بناء على سعر أسهم المنشأة أو أدوات حقوق الملكية األخرى للمنشأة . تعتمد المتطلبات المحاسبية للدفع على أساس األسهم على كيفية تسوية المعاملة، أي بإصدار) أ (حقوق الملكية أو) ب (النقد أو) ج (حقوق الملكية أو النقد. إن مفهوم المدفوعات القائمة على األسهم أوسع من خيارات أسهم الموظفين. يتضمن المعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم 2 إصدار األسهم أو حقوق األسهم مقابل الخدمات والبضائع. ومن أمثلة البنود المدرجة في نطاق المعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم 2 حقوق زيادة األسهم وخطط شراء أسهم الموظفين وخطط ملكية أسهم الموظفين وخطط خيارات األسهم والخطط التي قد يعتمد إصدار األسهم) أو حقوق األسهم (عليها على السوق أو غير متعلقة بالسوق) الظروف. ينطبق المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 على جميع المنشآت. ولا يوجد إعفاء للكيانات الخاصة أو الأصغر حجما. وعالوة على ذلك، فإن الشركات التابعة التي تستخدم والديها أو حقوق الملكية التابعة لها كمقابل للبضائع أو الخدمات تقع ضمن نطاق المعيار. هناك إعفاءان من مبدأ النطاق العام: أولا، يجب أن يتم احتساب إصدار الأسهم في دمج الأعمال وفقا للمعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية 3 دمج الأعمال. ومع ذلك، يجب توخي الحذر لتمييز المدفوعات القائمة على األسهم المتعلقة باالقتناء من تلك المتعلقة بخدمات الموظفين المستمرة. ثانيا، ال يتناول المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية 2 المدفوعات القائمة على األسهم ضمن نطاق الفقرات من 8 إلى 10 من معيار المحاسبة الدولي 32 األدوات المالية: العرض. أو الفقرات 5-7 من معيار المحاسبة الدولي 39 الأدوات المالية: التحقق والقياس. ولذلك، ينبغي تطبيق معيار المحاسبة الدولي 32 ومعيار المحاسبة الدولي 39 على عقود المشتقات القائمة على السلع والتي يمكن تسويتها في أسهم أو حقوق أسهم. ال ينطبق املعيار الدولي للتقارير املالية رقم 2 على معامالت الدفع على أساس األسهم باستثناء شراء السلع واخلدمات. وبالتالي فإن توزيع األرباح، وشراء أسهم الخزينة، وإصدار أسهم إضافية، خارج نطاقها. االعتراف والقياس يتطلب إصدار األسهم أو الحقوق في األسهم زيادة في جزء من حقوق الملكية. يتطلب المعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم) 2 (إدراج بند الخصم المقيد كمصاريف عندما ال يمثل الدفع مقابل البضائع أو الخدمات أحد األصول. وينبغي الاعتراف بالنفقات عندما تستهلك السلع أو الخدمات. فعلى سبيل المثال، فإن إصدار الأسهم أو الحقوق في الأسهم لشراء المخزون سيعرض كزيادة في المخزون، ولن يتم صرفها إلا بعد بيع المخزون أو انخفاض قيمته. ومن المفترض أن يكون إصدار أسهم مكتسبة بالكامل أو حقوق في أسهمها مرتبطا بالخدمة السابقة، مما يتطلب دفع كامل القيمة العادلة في تاريخ المنح إلى المصروفات فورا. یعتبر إصدار الأسھم للموظفین، علی سبیل المثال، فترة استحقاق مدتھا ثلاث سنوات متعلقة بالخدمات علی مدى فترة الاستحقاق. ولذلك، فإن القيمة العادلة للمدفوعات على أساس األسهم، والتي يتم تحديدها في تاريخ المنح، يجب أن يتم صرفها على مدى فترة االستحقاق. وكمبدأ عام، فإن إجمالي المصروفات المتعلقة بالمدفوعات المستندة إلى األسهم على أساس األسهم سوف يساوي مضاعف إجمالي األدوات التي تم استحقاقها والقيمة العادلة لهذه المنحة. وباختصار، هناك تراكم لتعكس ما يحدث خلال فترة الاستحقاق. ومع ذلك، إذا كان للدفع القائم على األسهم على أساس األسهم حالة أداء ذات صلة بالسوق، فسيتم االعتراف بالنفقات في حال استيفاء جميع شروط االستحقاق األخرى. ويقدم المثال التالي مثالا على مدفوعات نموذجية على أساس الأسهم تسدد بالأسهم. رسم توضيحي الاعتراف بمنحة خيار أسهم الموظفين تمنح الشركة ما مجموعه 100 خيار أسهم ل 10 أعضاء من فريق الإدارة التنفيذية (10 خيارات لكل منها) في 1 يناير 20X5. وتستحق هذه الخيارات في نهاية فترة ثلاث سنوات. وقد قررت الشركة أن كل خيار له قيمة عادلة في تاريخ المنحة يساوي 15. وتتوقع الشركة أن جميع الخيارات ال 100 ستستحق وبالتالي تسجل الإدخال التالي في 30 يونيو 20X5 - نهاية أول تقاريرها المرحلية لفترة الستة أشهر الأولى فترة. د. حصة خيار الخيار (90 15) 6 فترات 225 لكل فترة. 225 4 250250250 150 اعتمادا على نوع المدفوعات على أساس األسهم، يمكن تحديد القيمة العادلة بقيمة األسهم أو الحقوق في األسهم المستبعدة أو قيمة السلع أو الخدمات المستلمة: مبدأ قياس القيمة العادلة العامة. من حيث املبدأ، ينبغي قياس املعامالت التي يتم فيها تلقي السلع أو اخلدمات كمقابل لألدوات امللكية للمنشأة بالقيمة العادلة للسلع أو اخلدمات املستلمة. فقط في حالة عدم إمكانية قياس القيمة العادلة للسلع أو الخدمات بشكل يعتمد عليه، يتم استخدام القيمة العادلة لألدوات المالية الممنوحة. قياس خيارات مشاركة الموظفين. بالنسبة للمعامالت مع املوظفني وغريهم ممن يقدمون خدمات مماثلة، يتعني على املنشاأة قياش القيمة العادلة لأدوات حقوق امللكية املمنوحة، لأنه من غري املمكن عادة تقدير القيمة العادلة خلدمات املوظفني املستلمة بسكل يعتمد عليه. عند قياس القيمة العادلة - الخيارات. بالنسبة للمعامالت التي يتم قياسها بالقيمة العادلة ألدوات حقوق الملكية الممنوحة) مثل المعامالت مع الموظفين (، يجب تقدير القيمة العادلة في تاريخ المنح. عند قياس القيمة العادلة - السلع والخدمات. بالنسبة للمعامالت التي يتم قياسها بالقيمة العادلة للسلع أو الخدمات المستلمة، يجب تقدير القيمة العادلة في تاريخ استلام تلك السلع أو الخدمات. إرشادات القياس. بالنسبة للبضائع أو الخدمات التي يتم قياسها بالرجوع إلى القيمة العادلة لألدوات المالية الممنوحة، فإن المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 ينص على أنه، بشكل عام، ال تؤخذ شروط االستحقاق في االعتبار عند تقدير القيمة العادلة لألسهم أو الخيارات في تاريخ القياس ذي الصلة) في الاعلى). وبدلا من ذلك، تؤخذ شروط الاستحقاق في الاعتبار عن طریق تعدیل عدد أدوات حقوق الملکیة المتضمنة في قیاس مبلغ المعاملة بحیث یتم في نھایة المطاف احتساب المبلغ المعترف بھ للبضائع أو الخدمات المستلمة کمقابل لأدوات حقوق الملکیة الممنوحة بناء علی عدد حقوق الملکیة الصكوك التي استقرت في نهاية المطاف. مزيد من التوجيه القياس. يتطلب المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 القيمة العادلة لأدوات حقوق الملكية الممنوحة على أساس أسعار السوق، إن وجدت، ومع الأخذ بعين الاعتبار الشروط والأحكام التي تم بموجبها منح هذه الأدوات. وفي حالة عدم وجود أسعار سوقية، يتم تقدير القيمة العادلة باستخدام طريقة تقييم لتقدير السعر الذي يمكن أن يكون عليه سعر أدوات الملكية هذه في تاريخ القياس في معاملة طولية بين أطراف مطلعة وراغبة. ولا يحدد المعيار أي نموذج معين ينبغي استخدامه. إذا تعذر قياس القيمة العادلة بصورة موثوق منها. يتطلب املعيار الدويل لإعداد التقارير املالية رقم 2 اأن يتم قياش معامالت الدفع على اأساص الأسهم بالقيمة العادلة لكل من املنساآت املدرجة وغري املدرجة. يسمح المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 باستخدام القيمة الجوهرية) أي القيمة العادلة لألسهم ناقصا سعر الممارسة (في تلك الحاالت النادرة التي ال يمكن فيها قياس القيمة العادلة ألدوات حقوق الملكية بصورة موثوق منها. ولكن هذا ال يقاس ببساطة في تاريخ المنح. يجب على المنشأة إعادة قياس القيمة الجوهرية في تاريخ كل تقرير حتى التسوية النهائية. شروط الأداء. یفرق المعیار الدولي للتقاریر المالیة رقم 2 بین التعامل مع شروط الأداء المستندة إلی السوق من ظروف الأداء غیر السوقیة. إن ظروف السوق هي تلك المتعلقة بسعر السوق لألسهم في المنشأة، مثل تحقيق سعر سهم محدد أو هدف محدد بناء على مقارنة سعر سهم الكيان مع مؤشر أسعار أسهم الشركات األخرى. يتم إدراج شروط األداء على أساس السوق في قياس القيمة العادلة بتاريخ المنح) وبالمثل، يتم أخذ شروط عدم االستحقاق في االعتبار في القياس (. ومع ذلك، ال يتم تعديل القيمة العادلة ألدوات حقوق الملكية بحيث تأخذ في االعتبار ميزات األداء غير السوقية، بل يتم أخذها في االعتبار عن طريق تعديل عدد أدوات حقوق الملكية المتضمنة في قياس معاملة الدفع على أساس األسهم، تعديل كل فترة حتى تاريخ استحقاق أدوات حقوق الملكية. مالحظة: التحسينات السنوية على المعايير الدولية إلعداد التقارير المالية 2010 - 2012 تعديل تعديالت شروط االستحقاق وحالة السوق وتعديل التعاريف الخاصة بحالة األداء وشرط الخدمة) والتي كانت في السابق جزءا من تعريف شرط المنح (. تسري التعديالت على الفترات السنوية التي تبدأ في أو بعد 1 يوليو 2014. التعديالت واإللغاءات والتسويات إن تحديد ما إذا كان التغيير في الشروط واألحكام له تأثير على المبلغ المعتمد يعتمد على ما إذا كانت القيمة العادلة لألدوات الجديدة أكبر عن القيمة العادلة لألدوات األصلية) التي تم تحديدها في تاريخ التعديل (. إن تعديل الشروط التي منحت عليها أدوات حقوق الملكية قد يكون له تأثير على المصاريف التي سيتم تسجيلها. يوضح المعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم) 2 (أن اإلرشادات المتعلقة بالتعديالت تنطبق أيضا على األدوات المعدلة بعد تاريخ استحقاقها. اإذا كانت القيمة العادلة

مماثلة لالأسل) كمية. في حالة حدوث التعديل بعد فترة االستحقاق، يتم االعتراف بالمبلغ اإلضافي على الفور. إذا كانت القيمة العادلة للأدوات الجديدة أقل من القيمة العادلة للأدوات القديمة، فإن القيمة العادلة الأصلية لأدوات حقوق الملكية الممنوحة يجب أن يتم صرفها كما لو لم يحدث التعديل. یتم المحاسبة عن إلغاء أو تسویة أدوات حقوق الملکیة کتسارع في فترة الاستحقاق وبالتالي یجب الاعتراف فورا بأي مبلغ غیر معترف بھ لولا ذلك. إن أي مدفوعات تتم بإلغاء أو تسویة (حتی القیمة العادلة لأدوات حقوق الملکیة) یجب أن یتم المحاسبة عنھا کإعادة شراء حقوق الملکیة. أي دفع يزيد عن القيمة العادلة ألدوات حقوق الملكية الممنوحة يتم إدراجه كمصروف يمكن تحديد أدوات حقوق الملكية الجديدة الممنوحة كبديل لأدوات حقوق الملكية الملغاة. وفي تلك الحالات، تحسب أدوات استبدال حقوق الملكية كتعديل. يتم تحديد القيمة العادلة لأدوات حقوق الملكية البديلة في تاريخ المنح، في حين يتم تحديد القيمة العادلة للأدوات الملغاة في تاريخ الإلغاء، ناقصا أي مدفوعات نقدية عند الإلغاء يتم المحاسبة عنها كخصم من حقوق الملكية. اإلفصاح مطلوب إفصاحات تشمل:

للتقاریر المالیة رقم 1 التطبیق لأول مرة للمعیار الدولي للتقاریر المالیة لإضافة إعفاء لمعاملات الدفع بالأسھم. وكما هو الحال بالنسبة للكيانات التي تطبق المعايير الدولية للتقارير المالية، يتعين على المعتمدين للمرة الأولى تطبيق المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 لمعاملات الدفع على أساس الأسهم في أو بعد 7 نوفمبر 2002. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لا يشترط على المتبني للمرة الأولى تطبيق المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 على المدفوعات على أساس الأسهم بعد 7 تشرين الثاني / نوفمبر 2002 التي كانت قد قبلت في وقت لاحق (أ) تاريخ الانتقال إلى المعايير الدولية لإعداد التقارير المالية و (ب) 1 كانون الثاني

المالیة (إفرس) 2، الدفع علی أساس الأسھم. ویمکن أن یختلف البیان والمعیار الدولي للتقاریر المالیة رقم 2 في مجالات قلیلة فقط. ويرد أدناه وصف موجز للمجالات الأكثر أهمية. يتطلب المعيار الدولي للتقارير المالية رقم 2 استخدام طريقة تاريخ المنح المعدلة لترتيبات الدفع بالأسهم مع غير الموظفين. وعلى النقيض من ذلك، تتطلب المسألة 96 - 18 أن تقاس منح خيارات األسهم وأدوات حقوق الملكية األخرى لغير الموظفين في

معاییر أکثر صرامة لتحدید ما إذا کانت خطة مشارکة الموظفین شرائیة تعویضیة أم لا. ونتيجة لذلك، فإن بعض خطط شراء أسهم الموظفين والتي يتطلب المعيار الدولي إلعداد التقارير المالية رقم 2 منها االعتراف بتكلفة التعويض لن تعتبر أنها تؤدي إلى تكلفة تعويض بموجب البيان. یطبق المعیار الدولي للتقاریر المالیة رقم 2 نفس متطلبات القیاس علی خیارات أسھم الموظفین بغض النظر عما إذا کان المصدر ھیئة عامة أو غیر عامة. يتطلب البيان أن تقوم المنشأة غير العامة بحساب خياراتها وأدوات حقوق الملكية المماثلة بناء على قيمتها العادلة ما لم يكن من غير العملي تقدير التقلبات المتوقعة في سعر سهم المنشأة. وفي هذه الحالة، يتعين على المنشأة قياس خيارات أسهمها وأدواتها المماثلة بالقيمة باستخدام التقلبات التاريخية لمؤشر مناسب لقطاع الصناعة. في الولایات القضائیة الضریبیة مثل الولایات المتحدة، حیث لا یتم خصم القیمة الزمنیة

المحاسبية الخاصة بها على المدفوعات على أساس الأسهم. مارس 2005: نشرة محاسبة الموظفين في المجلس الأعلى للرقابة 107 في 29 مارس 2005، أصدر موظفو لجنة الأوراق المالية والبورصات الأمريكية نشرة محاسبة الموظفين 107 التي تتناول التقييمات والمسائل المحاسبية الأخرى لترتيبات الدفع على أساس الأسهم من قبل الشركات العامة بموجب بيان فاسب 123R دفع. For public companies, valuations under Statement 123R are similar to those under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. SAB 107 provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions with nonemployees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity status, valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption of Statement 123R in an interim period, capitalisation of compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, accounting for the income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements on adoption of Statement 123R, the modification of employee share options prior to adoption of Statement 123R, and disclosures in Managements Discussion and Analysis (MDampA) subsequent to adoption of Statement 123R. One of the interpretations in SAB 107 is whether there are differences between Statement 123R and IFRS 2 that would result in a reconciling item: Question: Does the staff believe there are differences in the measurement provisions for share-based payment arrangements with employees under International Accounting Standards Board International Financial Reporting Standard 2, Share-based Payment (IFRS 2) and Statement 123R that would result in a reconciling item under Item 17 or 18 of Form 20-F Interpretive Response: The staff believes that application of the guidance provided by IFRS 2 regarding the measurement of employee share options would generally result in a fair value measurement that is consistent with the fair value objective stated in Statement 123R. Accordingly, the staff believes that application of Statement 123Rs measurement guidance would not generally result in a reconciling item required to be reported under Item 17 or 18 of Form 20-F for a foreign private issuer that has complied with the provisions of IFRS 2 for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, the staff reminds foreign private issuers that there are certain differences between the guidance in IFRS 2 and Statement 123R that may result in reconciling items.

Those are key findings of a study conducted by the Equity Research group at Bear, Stearns amp Co. Inc. The purpose of the study is to help investors gauge the impact that expensing employee stock options will have on the 2005 earnings of US public companies. The Bear, Stearns analysis was based on the 2004 stock option disclosures in the most recently filed 10Ks of companies that were SampP 500 and NASDAQ 100 constituents as of 31 December 2004. Exhibits to the study present the results by company, by sector, and by industry. Visitors to IAS Plus are likely to find the study of interest because the requirements of FAS 123R for public companies are very similar to those of IFRS 2. We are grateful to Bear, Stearns for giving us permission to post the study on IAS Plus. The report remains copyright Bear, Stears amp Co. Inc. all rights reserved.

November 2005: Standard amp Poors Study on Impact of Expensing Stock Options In November 2005 Standard amp Poors published a report of the impact of expensing stock options on the SampP 500 companies. FAS 123(R) requires expensing of stock options (mandatory for most SEC registrants in 2006). IFRS 2 is nearly identical to FAS 123(R). SampP found: Option expense will reduce SampP 500 earnings by 4.2. Information Technology is affected the most, reducing earnings by 18. PE ratios for all sectors will be increased, but will remain below historical averages. The impact of option expensing on the Standard amp Poors 500 will be noticeable, but in an environment of record earnings, high margins and historically low operating price-to-earnings ratios, the index is in its best position in decades to absorb the additional expense. SampP takes issue with those companies that try to emphasise earnings before deducting stock option expense and with those analysts who ignore option expensing. The report emphasises that: Standard amp Poors will include and report option expense in all of its earnings values, across all of its business lines. This includes Operating, As Reported and Core, and applies to its analytical work in the SampP Domestic Indices, Stock Reports, as well as its forward estimates. It includes all of its electronic products. The investment community benefits when it has clear and consistent information and analyses. A consistent earnings methodology that builds on accepted accounting standards and procedures is a vital component of investing. By supporting this definition, Standard amp Poors is contributing to a more reliable investment environment. The current debate as to the presentation by companies of earnings that exclude option expense, generally being referred to as non-GAAP earnings, speaks to the heart of corporate governance. Additionally, many equity analysts are being encouraged to base their estimates on non-GAAP earnings. While we do not expect a repeat of the EBBS (Earnings Before Bad Stuff) pro-forma earnings of 2001, the ability to compare issues and sectors depends on an accepted set of accounting rules observed by all. In order to make informed investment decisions, the investing community requires data that conform to accepted accounting procedures. Of even more concern is the impact that such alternative presentation and calculations could have on the reduced level of faith and trust investors put into company reporting. The corporate governance events of the last two-years have eroded the trust of many investors, trust that will take years to earn back. In an era of instant access and carefully scripted investor releases, trust is now a major issue. January 2008: Amendment of IFRS 2 to clarify vesting conditions and cancellations On 17 January 2008, the IASB published final amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to clarify the terms vesting conditions and cancellations as follows: Vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share-based payment are not vesting conditions. Under IFRS 2, features of a share-based payment that are not vesting conditions should be included in the grant date fair value of the share-based payment. The fair value also includes market-related vesting conditions. All cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. Under IFRS 2, a cancellation of equity instruments is accounted for as an acceleration of the vesting period. Therefore any amount unrecognised that would otherwise have been charged is recognised immediately. Any payments made with the cancellation (up to the fair value of the equity instruments) is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest. Any payment in excess of the fair value of the equity instruments granted is recognised as an expense. The Board had proposed the amendment in an exposure draft on 2 February 2006. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, with earlier application permitted. Deloitte has published a Special Edition of our IAS Plus Newsletter explaining the amendments to IFRS 2 for vesting conditions and cancellations (PDF 126k). June 2009: IASB amends IFRS 2 for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions, withdraws IFRICs 8 and 11 On 18 June 2009, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment that clarify the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The amendments clarify how an individual subsidiary in a group should account for some share-based payment arrangements in its own financial statements. In these arrangements, the subsidiary receives goods or services from employees or suppliers but its parent or another entity in the group must pay those suppliers. The amendments make clear that: An entity that receives goods or services in a share-based payment arrangement must account for those goods or services no matter which entity in the group settles the transaction, and no matter whether the transaction is settled in shares or cash. In IFRS 2 a group has the same meaning as in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements . that is, it includes only a parent and its subsidiaries. The amendments to IFRS 2 also incorporate guidance previously included in IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11 IFRS 2Group and Treasury Share Transactions . As a result, the IASB has withdrawn IFRIC 8 and IFRIC 11. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 and must be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. Click for IASB press release (PDF 103k). June 2016: IASB clarifies the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions On 20 June 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published final amendments to IFRS 2 that clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions: Accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition Until now, IFRS 2 contained no guidance on how vesting conditions affect the fair value of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments. IASB has now added guidance that introduces accounting requirements for cash-settled share-based payments that follows the same approach as used for equity-settled share-based payments. Classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features IASB has introduced an exception into IFRS 2 so that a share-based payment where the entity settles the share-based payment arrangement net is classified as equity-settled in its entirety provided the share-based payment would have been classified as equity-settled had it not included the net settlement feature. Accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled Until now, IFRS 2 did not specifically address situations where a cash-settled share-based payment changes to an equity-settled share-based payment because of modifications of the terms and conditions. The IASB has intoduced the following clarifications: On such modifications, the original liability recognised in respect of the cash-settled share-based payment is derecognised and the equity-settled share-based payment is recognised at the modification date fair value to the extent services have been rendered up to the modification date. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same date would be recognised in profit and loss immediately.

Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins Topic 14: Share-Based Payment The interpretations in this SAB express views of the staff regarding the interaction between FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation, and certain SEC rules and regulations and provide the staff8217s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. FASB ASC Topic 718 is based on the underlying accounting principle that compensation cost resulting from share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements at fair value. 1 Recognition of compensation cost at fair value will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and comparable financial information. 2 FASB ASC Topic 718 addresses a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. FASB ASC Topic 718 replaces guidance as originally issued in 1995, that established as preferable, but did not require, a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The staff believes the guidance in this SAB will assist issuers in their initial implementation of FASB ASC Topic 718 and enhance the information received by investors and other users of financial statements, thereby assisting them in making investment and other decisions. This SAB includes interpretive guidance related to share-based payment transactions with nonemployees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity 3 status, valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718 in an interim period, capitalization of compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718, the modification of employee share options prior to adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718 and disclosures in MDampA subsequent to adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718. The staff recognizes that there is a range of conduct that a reasonable issuer might use to make estimates and valuations and otherwise implement FASB ASC Topic 718, and the interpretive guidance provided by this SAB, particularly during the period of the Topic8217s initial implementation. Thus, throughout this SAB the use of the terms 8220reasonable8221 and 8220reasonably8221 is not meant to imply a single conclusion or methodology, but to encompass the full range of potential conduct, conclusions or methodologies upon which an issuer may reasonably base its valuation decisions. Different conduct, conclusions or methodologies by different issuers in a given situation does not of itself raise an inference that any of those issuers is acting unreasonably. While the zone of reasonable conduct is not unlimited, the staff expects that it will be rare when there is only one acceptable choice in estimating the fair value of share-based payment arrangements under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 and the interpretive guidance provided by this SAB in any given situation. In addition, as discussed in the Interpretive Response to Question 1 of Section C, Valuation Methods, estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made under FASB ASC Topic 718. Over time, as issuers and accountants gain more experience in applying FASB ASC Topic 718 and the guidance provided in this SAB, the staff anticipates that particular approaches may begin to emerge as best practices and that the range of reasonable conduct, conclusions and methodologies will likely narrow. A. Share-Based Payment Transactions with Nonemployees Question . Are share-based payment transactions with nonemployees included in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718 Interpretive Response . Only certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees are explicitly addressed by FASB ASC Topic 718. This Topic explicitly: Establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for all share-based payments 4 and Requires that an entity record the value of a transaction with a nonemployee based on the more reliably measurable fair value of either the good or service received or the equity instrument issued. 5 FASB ASC Topic 718 does not supersede any of the authoritative literature that specifically addresses accounting for share-based payments with nonemployees. For example, FASB ASC Topic 718 does not specify the measurement date for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees when the measurement of the transaction is based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. 6 For determining the measurement date of equity instruments issued in share-based transactions with nonemployees, a company should refer to FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity 8212 Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. With respect to questions regarding nonemployee arrangements that are not specifically addressed in other authoritative literature, the staff believes that the application of guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 would generally result in relevant and reliable financial statement information. As such, the staff believes it would generally be appropriate for entities to apply the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 by analogy to share-based payment transactions with nonemployees unless other authoritative accounting literature more clearly addresses the appropriate accounting, or the application of the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 would be inconsistent with the terms of the instrument issued to a nonemployee in a share-based payment arrangement. 7 For example, the staff believes the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 on certain transactions with related parties or other holders of an economic interest in the entity would generally be applicable to share-based payment transactions with nonemployees. The staff encourages registrants that have additional questions related to accounting for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees to discuss those questions with the staff. B. Transition from Nonpublic to Public Entity Status Facts . Company A is a nonpublic entity 8 that first files a registration statement with the SEC to register its equity securities for sale in a public market on January 2, 20X8. 9 As a nonpublic entity, Company A had been assigning value to its share options 10 under the calculated value method prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation, 11 and had elected to measure its liability awards based on intrinsic value. Company A is considered a public entity on January 2, 20X8 when it makes its initial filing with the SEC in preparation for the sale of its shares in a public market. Question 1 . How should Company A account for the share options that were granted to its employees prior to January 2, 20X8 for which the requisite service has not been rendered by January 2, 20X8 Interpretive Response . Prior to becoming a public entity, Company A had been assigning value to its share options under the calculated value method. The staff believes that Company A should continue to follow that approach for those share options that were granted prior to January 2, 20X8, unless those share options are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. 12 If the share options are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled, Company A would assess the event under the public company provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718. For example, if Company A modified the share options on February 1, 20X8, any incremental compensation cost would be measured under FASB ASC subparagraph 718-20-35-3(a), as the fair value of the modified share options over the fair value of the original share options measured immediately before the terms were modified. 13 Question 2 . How should Company A account for its liability awards granted to its employees prior to January 2, 20X8 which are fully vested but have not been settled by January 2, 20X8 Interpretive Response . As a nonpublic entity, Company A had elected to measure its liability awards subject to FASB ASC Topic 718 at intrinsic value. 14 When Company A becomes a public entity, it should measure the liability awards at their fair value determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. 15 In that reporting period there will be an incremental amount of measured cost for the difference between fair value as determined under FASB ASC Topic 718 and intrinsic value. For example, assume the intrinsic value in the period ended December 31, 20X7 was 10 per award. At the end of the first reporting period ending after January 2, 20X8 (when Company A becomes a public entity), assume the intrinsic value of the award is 12 and the fair value as determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 is 15. The measured cost in the first reporting period after December 31, 20X7 would be 5. 16 Question 3 . After becoming a public entity, may Company A retrospectively apply the fair-value-based method to its awards that were granted prior to the date Company A became a public entity Interpretive Response . No. Before becoming a public entity, Company A did not use the fair-value-based method for either its share options or its liability awards granted to the Company8217s employees. The staff does not believe it is appropriate for Company A to apply the fair-value-based method on a retrospective basis, because it would require the entity to make estimates of a prior period, which, due to hindsight, may vary significantly from estimates that would have been made contemporaneously in prior periods. 17 Question 4 . Upon becoming a public entity, what disclosures should Company A consider in addition to those prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 718 18 Interpretive Response . In the registration statement filed on January 2, 20X8, Company A should clearly describe in MDampA the change in accounting policy that will be required by FASB ASC Topic 718 in subsequent periods and the reasonably likely material future effects. 19 In subsequent filings, Company A should provide financial statement disclosure of the effects of the changes in accounting policy. In addition, Company A should consider the applicability of SEC Release No. FR-60 20 and Section V, 8220Critical Accounting Estimates,8221 in SEC Release No. FR-72 21 regarding critical accounting policies and estimates in MDampA. C. Valuation Methods FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-30-6 (Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation Topic) indicates that the measurement objective for equity instruments awarded to employees is to estimate at the grant date the fair value of the equity instruments the entity is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. The Topic also states that observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and, if available, should be used as the basis for the measurement for equity and liability instruments awarded in a share-based payment transaction with employees. 22 However, if observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments are not available, the fair value shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in FASB ASC Topic 718. 23 Question 1 . If a valuation technique or model is used to estimate fair value, to what extent will the staff consider a company8217s estimates of fair value to be materially misleading because the estimates of fair value do not correspond to the value ultimately realized by the employees who received the share options Interpretive Response . The staff understands that estimates of fair value of employee share options, while derived from expected value calculations, cannot predict actual future events. 24 The estimate of fair value represents the measurement of the cost of the employee services to the company. The estimate of fair value should reflect the assumptions marketplace participants would use in determining how much to pay for an instrument on the date of the measurement (generally the grant date for equity awards). For example, valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of employee share options may consider information about a large number of possible share price paths, while, of course, only one share price path will ultimately emerge. If a company makes a good faith fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 in a way that is designed to take into account the assumptions that underlie the instrument8217s value that marketplace participants would reasonably make, then subsequent future events that affect the instrument8217s value do not provide meaningful information about the quality of the original fair value estimate. As long as the share options were originally so measured, changes in an employee share option8217s value, no matter how significant, subsequent to its grant date do not call into question the reasonableness of the grant date fair value estimate. Question 2 . In order to meet the fair value measurement objective in FASB ASC Topic 718, are certain valuation techniques preferred over others Interpretive Response . FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-17 clarifies that the Topic does not specify a preference for a particular valuation technique or model. As stated in FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-11 in order to meet the fair value measurement objective, a company should select a valuation technique or model that (a) is applied in a manner consistent with the fair value measurement objective and other requirements of FASB ASC Topic 718, (b) is based on established principles of financial economic theory and generally applied in that field and (c) reflects all substantive characteristics of the instrument. The chosen valuation technique or model must meet all three of the requirements stated above. In valuing a particular instrument, certain techniques or models may meet the first and second criteria but may not meet the third criterion because the techniques or models are not designed to reflect certain characteristics contained in the instrument. For example, for a share option in which the exercisability is conditional on a specified increase in the price of the underlying shares, the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model would not generally be an appropriate valuation model because, while it meets both the first and second criteria, it is not designed to take into account that type of market condition. 25 Further, the staff understands that a company may consider multiple techniques or models that meet the fair value measurement objective before making its selection as to the appropriate technique or model. The staff would not object to a company8217s choice of a technique or model as long as the technique or model meets the fair value measurement objective. For example, a company is not required to use a lattice model simply because that model was the most complex of the models the company considered. Question 3 . In subsequent periods, may a company change the valuation technique or model chosen to value instruments with similar characteristics 26 Interpretive Response . As long as the new technique or model meets the fair value measurement objective as described in Question 2 above, the staff would not object to a company changing its valuation technique or model. 27 A change in the valuation technique or model used to meet the fair value measurement objective would not be considered a change in accounting principle. As such, a company would not be required to file a preferability letter from its independent accountants as described in Rule 10-01(b)(6) of Regulation S-X when it changes valuation techniques or models. 28 However, the staff would not expect that a company would frequently switch between valuation techniques or models, particularly in circumstances where there was no significant variation in the form of share-based payments being valued. Disclosure in the footnotes of the basis for any change in technique or model would be appropriate. 29 Question 4 . Must every company that issues share options or similar instruments hire an outside third party to assist in determining the fair value of the share options Interpretive Response . No. However, the valuation of a company8217s share options or similar instruments should be performed by a person with the requisite expertise. D. Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods FASB ASC Topic 7188217s (Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation Topic) fair value measurement objective for equity instruments awarded to employees is to estimate the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. 30 In order to meet this fair value measurement objective, management will be required to develop estimates regarding the expected volatility of its company8217s share price and the exercise behavior of its employees. The staff is providing guidance in the following sections related to the expected volatility and expected term assumptions to assist public entities in applying those requirements. The staff understands that companies may refine their estimates of expected volatility and expected term as a result of the guidance provided in FASB ASC Topic 718 and in sections (1) and (2) below. Changes in assumptions during the periods presented in the financial statements should be disclosed in the footnotes. 31 1. Expected Volatility FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-36 states, 8220Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as share price, has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. Option-pricing models require an estimate of expected volatility as an assumption because an option8217s value is dependent on potential share returns over the option8217s term. The higher the volatility, the more the returns on the share can be expected to vary 8212 up or down. Because an option8217s value is unaffected by expected negative returns on the shares, other things being equal, an option on a share with higher volatility is worth more than an option on a share with lower volatility.8221 Facts . Company B is a public entity whose common shares have been publicly traded for over twenty years. Company B also has multiple options on its shares outstanding that are traded on an exchange (8220traded options8221). Company B grants share options on January 2, 20X6. Question 1 . What should Company B consider when estimating expected volatility for purposes of measuring the fair value of its share options Interpretive Response . FASB ASC Topic 718 does not specify a particular method of estimating expected volatility. However, the Topic does clarify that the objective in estimating expected volatility is to ascertain the assumption about expected volatility that marketplace participants would likely use in determining an exchange price for an option. 32 FASB ASC Topic 718 provides a list of factors entities should consider in estimating expected volatility. 33 Company B may begin its process of estimating expected volatility by considering its historical volatility. 34 However, Company B should also then consider, based on available information, how the expected volatility of its share price may differ from historical volatility. 35 Implied volatility 36 can be useful in estimating expected volatility because it is generally reflective of both historical volatility and expectations of how future volatility will differ from historical volatility. The staff believes that companies should make good faith efforts to identify and use sufficient information in determining whether taking historical volatility, implied volatility or a combination of both into account will result in the best estimate of expected volatility. The staff believes companies that have appropriate traded financial instruments from which they can derive an implied volatility should generally consider this measure. The extent of the ultimate reliance on implied volatility will depend on a company8217s facts and circumstances however, the staff believes that a company with actively traded options or other financial instruments with embedded options 37 generally could place greater (or even exclusive) reliance on implied volatility. ( See the Interpretive Responses to Questions 3 and 4 below.) The process used to gather and review available information to estimate expected volatility should be applied consistently from period to period. When circumstances indicate the availability of new or different information that would be useful in estimating expected volatility, a company should incorporate that information. Question 2 . What should Company B consider if computing historical volatility 38 Interpretive Response . The following should be considered in the computation of historical volatility: 1. Method of Computing Historical Volatility 8212 The staff believes the method selected by Company B to compute its historical volatility should produce an estimate that is representative of Company B8217s expectations about its future volatility over the expected (if using a Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model) or contractual (if using a lattice model) term 39 of its employee share options. Certain methods may not be appropriate for longer term employee share options if they weight the most recent periods of Company B8217s historical volatility much more heavily than earlier periods. 40 For example, a method that applies a factor to certain historical price intervals to reflect a decay or loss of relevance of that historical information emphasizes the most recent historical periods and thus would likely bias the estimate to this recent history. 41 2. Amount of Historical Data 8212 FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-55-37(a) indicates entities should consider historical volatility over a period generally commensurate with the expected or contractual term, as applicable, of the share option. The staff believes Company B could utilize a period of historical data longer than the expected or contractual term, as applicable, if it reasonably believes the additional historical information will improve the estimate. For example, assume Company B decided to utilize a Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model to estimate the value of the share options granted on January 2, 20X6 and determined that the expected term was six years. Company B would not be precluded from using historical data longer than six years if it concludes that data would be relevant. 3. Frequency of Price Observations 8212 FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-55-37(d) indicates an entity should use appropriate and regular intervals for price observations based on facts and circumstances that provide the basis for a reasonable fair value estimate. Accordingly, the staff believes Company B should consider the frequency of the trading of its shares and the length of its trading history in determining the appropriate frequency of price observations. The staff believes using daily, weekly or monthly price observations may provide a sufficient basis to estimate expected volatility if the history provides enough data points on which to base the estimate. 42 Company B should select a consistent point in time within each interval when selecting data points. 43 4. Consideration of Future Events 8212 The objective in estimating expected volatility is to ascertain the assumptions that marketplace participants would likely use in determining an exchange price for an option. 44 Accordingly, the staff believes that Company B should consider those future events that it reasonably concludes a marketplace participant would also consider in making the estimation. For example, if Company B has recently announced a merger with a company that would change its business risk in the future, then it should consider the impact of the merger in estimating the expected volatility if it reasonably believes a marketplace participant would also consider this event. 5. Exclusion of Periods of Historical Data 8212 In some instances, due to a company8217s particular business situations, a period of historical volatility data may not be relevant in evaluating expected volatility. 45 In these instances, that period should be disregarded. The staff believes that if Company B disregards a period of historical volatility, it should be prepared to support its conclusion that its historical share price during that previous period is not relevant to estimating expected volatility due to one or more discrete and specific historical events and that similar events are not expected to occur during the expected term of the share option. The staff believes these situations would be rare. Question 3 . What should Company B consider when evaluating the extent of its reliance on the implied volatility derived from its traded options Interpretive Response . To achieve the objective of estimating expected volatility as stated in FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-55-35 through 718-10-55-41, the staff believes Company B generally should consider the following in its evaluation: 1) the volume of market activity of the underlying shares and traded options 2) the ability to synchronize the variables used to derive implied volatility 3) the similarity of the exercise prices of the traded options to the exercise price of the employee share options and 4) the similarity of the length of the term of the traded and employee share options. 46 1. Volume of Market Activity 8212 The staff believes Company B should consider the volume of trading in its underlying shares as well as the traded options. For example, prices for instruments in actively traded markets are more likely to reflect a marketplace participant8217s expectations regarding expected volatility. 2. Synchronization of the Variables 8212 Company B should synchronize the variables used to derive implied volatility. For example, to the extent reasonably practicable, Company B should use market prices (either traded prices or the average of bid and asked quotes) of the traded options and its shares measured at the same point in time. This measurement should also be synchronized with the grant of the employee share options however, when this is not reasonably practicable, the staff believes Company B should derive implied volatility as of a point in time as close to the grant of the employee share options as reasonably practicable. 3. Similarity of the Exercise Prices 8212 The staff believes that when valuing an at-the-money employee share option, the implied volatility derived from at - or near-the-money traded options generally would be most relevant. 47 If, however, it is not possible to find at - or near-the-money traded options, Company B should select multiple traded options with an average exercise price close to the exercise price of the employee share option. 48 4. Similarity of Length of Terms 8212 The staff believes that when valuing an employee share option with a given expected or contractual term, as applicable, the implied volatility derived from a traded option with a similar term would be the most relevant. However, if there are no traded options with maturities that are similar to the share option8217s contractual or expected term, as applicable, then the staff believes Company B could consider traded options with a remaining maturity of six months or greater. 49 However, when using traded options with a term of less than one year, 50 the staff would expect the company to also consider other relevant information in estimating expected volatility. In general, the staff believes more reliance on the implied volatility derived from a traded option would be expected the closer the remaining term of the traded option is to the expected or contractual term, as applicable, of the employee share option. The staff believes Company B8217s evaluation of the factors above should assist in determining whether the implied volatility appropriately reflects the market8217s expectations of future volatility and thus the extent of reliance that Company B reasonably places on the implied volatility. Question 4 . Are there situations in which it is acceptable for Company B to rely exclusively on either implied volatility or historical volatility in its estimate of expected volatility Interpretive Response . As stated above, FASB ASC Topic 718 does not specify a method of estimating expected volatility rather, it provides a list of factors that should be considered and requires that an entity8217s estimate of expected volatility be reasonable and supportable. 51 Many of the factors listed in FASB ASC Topic 718 are discussed in Questions 2 and 3 above. The objective of estimating volatility, as stated in FASB ASC Topic 718, is to ascertain the assumption about expected volatility that marketplace participants would likely use in determining a price for an option. 52 The staff believes that a company, after considering the factors listed in FASB ASC Topic 718, could, in certain situations, reasonably conclude that exclusive reliance on either historical or implied volatility would provide an estimate of expected volatility that meets this stated objective. The staff would not object to Company B placing exclusive reliance on implied volatility when the following factors are present, as long as the methodology is consistently applied: Company B utilizes a valuation model that is based upon a constant volatility assumption to value its employee share options 53 The implied volatility is derived from options that are actively traded The market prices (trades or quotes) of both the traded options and underlying shares are measured at a similar point in time to each other and on a date reasonably close to the grant date of the employee share options The traded options have exercise prices that are both (a) near-the-money and (b) close to the exercise price of the employee share options 54 and The remaining maturities of the traded options on which the estimate is based are at least one year. The staff would not object to Company B placing exclusive reliance on historical volatility when the following factors are present, so long as the methodology is consistently applied: Company B has no reason to believe that its future volatility over the expected or contractual term, as applicable, is likely to differ from its past 55 The computation of historical volatility uses a simple average calculation method A sequential period of historical data at least equal to the expected or contractual term of the share option, as applicable, is used and A reasonably sufficient number of price observations are used, measured at a consistent point throughout the applicable historical period. 56 Question 5 . What disclosures would the staff expect Company B to include in its financial statements and MDampA regarding its assumption of expected volatility Interpretive Response . FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-50-2 prescribes the minimum information needed to achieve the Topic8217s disclosure objectives. 57 Under that guidance, Company B is required to disclose the expected volatility and the method used to estimate it. 58 Accordingly, the staff expects that at a minimum Company B would disclose in a footnote to its financial statements how it determined the expected volatility assumption for purposes of determining the fair value of its share options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For example, at a minimum, the staff would expect Company B to disclose whether it used only implied volatility, historical volatility, or a combination of both. In addition, Company B should consider the applicability of SEC Release No. FR-60 and Section V, 8220Critical Accounting Estimates,8221 in SEC Release No. FR-72 regarding critical accounting policies and estimates in MDampA. The staff would expect such disclosures to include an explanation of the method used to estimate the expected volatility of its share price. This explanation generally should include a discussion of the basis for the company8217s conclusions regarding the extent to which it used historical volatility, implied volatility or a combination of both. A company could consider summarizing its evaluation of the factors listed in Questions 2 and 3 of this section as part of these disclosures in MDampA. Facts . Company C is a newly public entity with limited historical data on the price of its publicly traded shares and no other traded financial instruments. Company C believes that it does not have sufficient company specific information regarding the volatility of its share price on which to base an estimate of expected volatility. Question 6 . What other sources of information should Company C consider in order to estimate the expected volatility of its share price Interpretive Response . FASB ASC Topic 718 provides guidance on estimating expected volatility for newly public and nonpublic entities that do not have company specific historical or implied volatility information available. 59 Company C may base its estimate of expected volatility on the historical, expected or implied volatility of similar entities whose share or option prices are publicly available. In making its determination as to similarity, Company C would likely consider the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other entities. 60 The staff would not object to Company C looking to an industry sector index ( e. g. . NASDAQ Computer Index) that is representative of Company C8217s industry, and possibly its size, to identify one or more similar entities. 61 Once Company C has identified similar entities, it would substitute a measure of the individual volatilities of the similar entities for the expected volatility of its share price as an assumption in its valuation model. 62 Because of the effects of diversification that are present in an industry sector index, Company C should not substitute the volatility of an index for the expected volatility of its share price as an assumption in its valuation model. 63 After similar entities have been identified, Company C should continue to consider the volatilities of those entities unless circumstances change such that the identified entities are no longer similar to Company C. Until Company C has sufficient information available, the staff would not object to Company C basing its estimate of expected volatility on the volatility of similar entities for those periods for which it does not have sufficient information available. 64 Until Company C has either a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its share price or other traded financial instruments are available to derive an implied volatility to support an estimate of expected volatility, it should consistently apply a process as described above to estimate expected volatility based on the volatilities of similar entities. 65 2. Expected Term FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-29 states 8220The fair value of a traded (or transferable) share option is based on its contractual term because rarely is it economically advantageous to exercise, rather than sell, a transferable share option before the end of its contractual term. Employee share options generally differ from transferable or tradable share options in that employees cannot sell (or hedge) their share options 8212 they can only exercise them because of this, employees generally exercise their options before the end of the options8217 contractual term. Thus, the inability to sell or hedge an employee share option effectively reduces the option8217s value compared to a transferable option because exercise prior to the option8217s expiration terminates its remaining life and thus its remaining time value.8221 Accordingly, FASB ASC Topic 718 requires that when valuing an employee share option under the Black-Scholes-Merton framework the fair value of employee share options be based on the share options8217 expected term rather than the contractual term. The staff believes the estimate of expected term should be based on the facts and circumstances available in each particular case. Consistent with our guidance regarding reasonableness immediately preceding Topic 14.A, the fact that other possible estimates are later determined to have more accurately reflected the term does not necessarily mean that the particular choice was unreasonable. The staff reminds registrants of the expected term disclosure requirements described in FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i). Facts . Company D utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model to value its share options for the purposes of determining the fair value of the options under FASB ASC Topic 718. Company D recently granted share options to its employees. Based on its review of various factors, Company D determines that the expected term of the options is six years, which is less than the contractual term of ten years. Question 1 . When determining the fair value of the share options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, should Company D consider an additional discount for nonhedgability and nontransferability Interpretive Response . No. FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-29 indicates that nonhedgability and nontransferability have the effect of increasing the likelihood that an employee share option will be exercised before the end of its contractual term. Nonhedgability and nontransferability therefore factor into the expected term assumption (in this case reducing the term assumption from ten years to six years), and the expected term reasonably adjusts for the effect of these factors. Accordingly, the staff believes that no additional reduction in the term assumption or other discount to the estimated fair value is appropriate for these particular factors. 66 Question 2 . Should forfeitures or terms that stem from forfeitability be factored into the determination of expected term Interpretive Response . No. FASB ASC Topic 718 indicates that the expected term that is utilized as an assumption in a closed-form option-pricing model or a resulting output of a lattice option pricing model when determining the fair value of the share options should not incorporate restrictions or other terms that stem from the pre-vesting forfeitability of the instruments. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, these pre-vesting restrictions or other terms are taken into account by ultimately recognizing compensation cost only for awards for which employees render the requisite service. 67 Question 3 . Can a company8217s estimate of expected term ever be shorter than the vesting period Interpretive Response . No. The vesting period forms the lower bound of the estimate of expected term. 68 Question 4 . FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-34 indicates that an entity shall aggregate individual awards into relatively homogenous groups with respect to exercise and post-vesting employment termination behaviors for the purpose of determining expected term, regardless of the valuation technique or model used to estimate the fair value. How many groupings are typically considered sufficient Interpretive Response . As it relates to employee groupings, the staff believes that an entity may generally make a reasonable fair value estimate with as few as one or two groupings. 69 Question 5 . What approaches could a company use to estimate the expected term of its employee share options Interpretive Response . A company should use an approach that is reasonable and supportable under FASB ASC Topic 7188217s fair value measurement objective, which establishes that assumptions and measurement techniques should be consistent with those that marketplace participants would be likely to use in determining an exchange price for the share options. 70 If, in developing its estimate of expected term, a company determines that its historical share option exercise experience is the best estimate of future exercise patterns, the staff will not object to the use of the historical share option exercise experience to estimate expected term. 71 A company may also conclude that its historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. This may be the case for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the life of the company and its relative stage of development, past or expected structural changes in the business, differences in terms of past equity-based share option grants, 72 or a lack of variety of price paths that the company may have experienced. 73 FASB ASC Topic 718 describes other alternative sources of information that might be used in those cases when a company determines that its historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. For example, a lattice model (which by definition incorporates multiple price paths) can be used to estimate expected term as an input into a Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model. 74 In addition, FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-32 states 82208230expected term might be estimated in some other manner, taking into account whatever relevant and supportable information is available, including industry averages and other pertinent evidence such as published academic research.8221 For example, data about exercise patterns of employees in similar industries andor situations as the company8217s might be used. While such comparative information may not be widely available at present, the staff understands that various parties, including actuaries, valuation professionals and others are gathering such data. Facts . Company E grants equity share options to its employees that have the following basic characteristics: 75 The share options are granted at-the-money Exercisability is conditional only on performing service through the vesting date 76 If an employee terminates service prior to vesting, the employee would forfeit the share options If an employee terminates service after vesting, the employee would have a limited time to exercise the share options (typically 30-90 days) and The share options are nontransferable and nonhedgeable. Company E utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model for valuing its employee share options. Question 6 . As share options with these 8220plain vanilla8221 characteristics have been granted in significant quantities by many companies in the past, is the staff aware of any 8220simple8221 methodologies that can be used to estimate expected term Interpretive Response . As noted above, the staff understands that an entity that is unable to rely on its historical exercise data may find that certain alternative information, such as exercise data relating to employees of other companies, is not easily obtainable. As such, some companies may encounter difficulties in making a refined estimate of expected term. Accordingly, if a company concludes that its historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term, the staff will accept the following 8220simplified8221 method for 8220plain vanilla8221 options consistent with those in the fact set above: expected term ((vesting term original contractual term) 2). Assuming a ten year original contractual term and graded vesting over four years (25 of the options in each grant vest annually) for the share options in the fact set described above, the resultant expected term would be 6.25 years. 77 Academic research on the exercise of options issued to executives provides some general support for outcomes that would be produced by the application of this method. 78 Examples of situations in which the staff believes that it may be appropriate to use this simplified method include the following: A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded. A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The staff understands that a company may have sufficient historical exercise data for some of its share option grants but not for others. In such cases, the staff will accept the use of the simplified method for only some but not all share option grants. The staff also does not believe that it is necessary for a company to consider using a lattice model before it decides that it is eligible to use this simplified method. Further, the staff will not object to the use of this simplified method in periods prior to the time a company8217s equity shares are traded in a public market. If a company uses this simplified method, the company should disclose in the notes to its financial statements the use of the method, the reason why the method was used, the types of share option grants for which the method was used if the method was not used for all share option grants, and the periods for which the method was used if the method was not used in all periods. Companies that have sufficient historical share option exercise experience upon which to estimate expected term may not apply this simplified method. In addition, this simplified method is not intended to be applied as a benchmark in evaluating the appropriateness of more refined estimates of expected term. Also, as noted above in Question 5, the staff believes that more detailed external information about exercise behavior will, over time, become readily available to companies. As such, the staff does not expect that such a simplified method would be used for share option grants when more relevant detailed information becomes widely available. E. FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation, and Certain Redeemable Financial Instruments Certain financial instruments awarded in conjunction with share-based payment arrangements have redemption features that require settlement by cash or other assets upon the occurrence of events that are outside the control of the issuer. 79 FASB ASC Topic 718 provides guidance for determining whether instruments granted in conjunction with share-based payment arrangements should be classified as liability or equity instruments. Under that guidance, most instruments with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities however, some redeemable instruments will qualify for equity classification. 80 SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268, Presentation in Financial Statements of 8220Redeemable Preferred Stocks, 8221 81 (8220ASR 2688221) and related guidance 82 address the classification and measurement of certain redeemable equity instruments. Facts . Under a share-based payment arrangement, Company F grants to an employee shares (or share options) that all vest at the end of four years (cliff vest). The shares (or shares underlying the share options) are redeemable for cash at fair value at the holder8217s option, but only after six months from the date of share issuance (as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718). Company F has determined that the shares (or share options) would be classified as equity instruments under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718. However, under ASR 268 and related guidance, the instruments would be considered to be redeemable for cash or other assets upon the occurrence of events ( e. g. . redemption at the option of the holder) that are outside the control of the issuer. Question 1 . While the instruments are subject to FASB ASC Topic 718, 83 is ASR 268 and related guidance applicable to instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements that are classified as equity instruments under FASB ASC Topic 718 Interpretive Response . نعم فعلا. The staff believes that registrants must evaluate whether the terms of instruments granted in conjunction with share-based payment arrangements with employees that are not classified as liabilities under FASB ASC Topic 718 result in the need to present certain amounts outside of permanent equity (also referred to as being presented in 8220temporary equity8221) in accordance with ASR 268 and related guidance. 84 When an instrument ceases to be subject to FASB ASC Topic 718 and becomes subject to the recognition and measurement requirements of other applicable GAAP, the staff believes that the company should reassess the classification of the instrument as a liability or equity at that time and consequently may need to reconsider the applicability of ASR 268. Question 2 . How should Company F apply ASR 268 and related guidance to the shares (or share options) granted under the share-based payment arrangements with employees that may be unvested at the date of grant Interpretive Response . Under FASB ASC Topic 718, when compensation cost is recognized for instruments classified as equity instruments, additional paid-in-capital 85 is increased. If the award is not fully vested at the grant date, compensation cost is recognized and additional paid-in-capital is increased over time as services are rendered over the requisite service period. A similar pattern of recognition should be used to reflect the amount presented as temporary equity for share-based payment awards that have redemption features that are outside the issuer8217s control but are classified as equity instruments under FASB ASC Topic 718. The staff believes Company F should present as temporary equity at each balance sheet date an amount that is based on the redemption amount of the instrument, but takes into account the proportion of consideration received in the form of employee services. Thus, for example, if a nonvested share that qualifies for equity classification under FASB ASC Topic 718 is redeemable at fair value more than six months after vesting, and that nonvested share is 75 vested at the balance sheet date, an amount equal to 75 of the fair value of the share should be presented as temporary equity at that date. Similarly, if an option on a share of redeemable stock that qualifies for equity classification under FASB ASC Topic 718 is 75 vested at the balance sheet date, an amount equal to 75 of the intrinsic 86 value of the option should be presented as temporary equity at that date. Question 3 . Would the methodology described for employee awards in the Interpretive Response to Question 2 above apply to nonemployee awards to be issued in exchange for goods or services with similar terms to those described above Interpretive Response . See Topic 14.A for a discussion of the application of the principles in FASB ASC Topic 718 to nonemployee awards. The staff believes it would generally be appropriate to apply the methodology described in the Interpretive Response to Question 2 above to nonemployee awards. F. Classification of Compensation Expense Associated with Share-Based Payment Arrangements Facts . Company G utilizes both cash and share-based payment arrangements to compensate its employees and nonemployee service providers. Company G would like to emphasize in its income statement the amount of its compensation that did not involve a cash outlay. سؤال . How should Company G present in its income statement the non-cash nature of its expense related to share-based payment arrangements Interpretive Response . The staff believes Company G should present the expense related to share-based payment arrangements in the same line or lines as cash compensation paid to the same employees. 87 The staff believes a company could consider disclosing the amount of expense related to share-based payment arrangements included in specific line items in the financial statements. Disclosure of this information might be appropriate in a parenthetical note to the appropriate income statement line items, on the cash flow statement, in the footnotes to the financial statements, or within MDampA.

Company K is a manufacturing company that grants share options to its production employees. Company K has determined that the cost of the production employees8217 service is an inventoriable cost. As such, Company K is required to initially capitalize the cost of the share option grants to these production employees as inventory and later recognize the cost in the income statement when the inventory is consumed. 94 Question . If Company K elects to adjust its period end inventory balance for the allocable amount of share-option cost through a period end adjustment to its financial statements, instead of incorporating the share-option cost through its inventory costing system, would this be considered a deficiency in internal controls Interpretive Response . No. FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation 8212 Stock Compensation, does not prescribe the mechanism a company should use to incorporate a portion of share-option costs in an inventory-costing system. The staff believes Company K may accomplish this through a period end adjustment to its financial statements. Company K should establish appropriate controls surrounding the calculation and recording of this period end adjustment, as it would any other period end adjustment. The fact that the entry is recorded as a period end adjustment, by itself, should not impact management8217s ability to determine that the internal control over financial reporting, as defined by the SEC8217s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 95 is effective.

If these features ( i. e. . nontransferability, nonhedgability and the truncation of the contractual term) were not present in a nonemployee share option arrangement, the use of an expected term assumption shorter than the contractual term would generally not be appropriate in estimating the fair value of the nonemployee share options. 8 Defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary. 9 For the purposes of these illustrations, assume all of Company A8217s equity-based awards granted to its employees were granted after the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718. 10 For purposes of this staff accounting bulletin, the phrase 8220share options8221 is used to refer to 8220share options or similar instruments.8221 11 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-30-20 requires a nonpublic entity to use the calculated value method when it is not able to reasonably estimate the fair value of its equity share options and similar instruments because it is not practicable for it to estimate the expected volatility of its share price. FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-51 indicates that a nonpublic entity may be able to identify similar public entities for which share or option price information is available and may consider the historical, expected, or implied volatility of those entities8217 share prices in estimating expected volatility. The staff would expect an entity that becomes a public entity and had previously measured its share options under the calculated value method to be able to support its previous decision to use calculated value and to provide the disclosures required by FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii). 12 This view is consistent with the FASB8217s basis for rejecting full retrospective application of FASB ASC Topic 718 as described in the basis for conclusions of Statement 123R, paragraph B251. 13 FASB ASC paragraph 718-20-55-94. The staff believes that because Company A is a public entity as of the date of the modification, it would be inappropriate to use the calculated value method to measure the original share options immediately before the terms were modified. 14 FASB ASC paragraph 718-30-30-2. 15 FASB ASC paragraph 718-30-35-3. 16 15 fair value less 10 intrinsic value equals 5 of incremental cost. 17 This view is consistent with the FASB8217s basis for rejecting full retrospective application of FASB ASC Topic 718 as described in the basis for conclusions of Statement 123R, paragraph B251. 18 FASB ASC Section 718-10-50. 19 See generally SEC Release No. FR-72, 8220Commission Guidance Regarding Management8217s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.8221 20 SEC Release No. FR-60, 8220Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.8221 21 SEC Release No. FR-72, 8220Commission Guidance Regarding Management8217s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.8221 22 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-10. 23 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-11. 24 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-15 states 8220The fair value of those instruments at a single point in time is not a forecast of what the estimated fair value of those instruments may be in the future.8221 25 See FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-55-16 and 718-10-55-20. 26 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-17 indicates that an entity may use different valuation techniques or models for instruments with different characteristics. 27 The staff believes that a company should take into account the reason for the change in technique or model in determining whether the new technique or model meets the fair value measurement objective. For example, changing a technique or model from period to period for the sole purpose of lowering the fair value estimate of a share option would not meet the fair value measurement objective of the Topic. 28 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-27. 29 See generally FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-50-1. 30 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-4. 31 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-50-2. 32 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-35. 33 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-37. 34 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-40. 36 Implied volatility is the volatility assumption inherent in the market prices of a company8217s traded options or other financial instruments that have option-like features. Implied volatility is derived by entering the market price of the traded financial instrument, along with assumptions specific to the financial options being valued, into a model based on a constant volatility estimate ( e. g. . the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model) and solving for the unknown assumption of volatility. 37 The staff believes implied volatility derived from embedded options can be utilized in determining expected volatility if, in deriving the implied volatility, the company considers all relevant features of the instruments ( e. g. . value of the host instrument, value of the option, etc.). The staff believes the derivation of implied volatility from other than simple instruments ( e. g. . a simple convertible bond) can, in some cases, be impracticable due to the complexity of multiple features. 38 See FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-37. 39 For purposes of this staff accounting bulletin, the phrase 8220expected or contractual term, as applicable8221 has the same meaning as the phrase 8220expected (if using a Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model) or contractual (if using a lattice model) term of an employee share option.8221 40 FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-55-37(a) states that entities should consider historical volatility over a period generally commensurate with the expected or contractual term, as applicable, of the share option. Accordingly, the staff believes methods that place extreme emphasis on the most recent periods may be inconsistent with this guidance. 41 Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (8220GARCH8221) is an example of a method that demonstrates this characteristic. 42 Further, if shares of a company are thinly traded the staff believes the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations. The volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market. 43 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-40 states that a company should establish a process for estimating expected volatility and apply that process consistently from period to period. In addition, FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-27 indicates that assumptions used to estimate the fair value of instruments granted to employees should be determined in a consistent manner from period to period. 44 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-35. 45 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-37. 46 See generally Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives by John C. Hull (Prentice Hall, 5th Edition, 2003). 47 Implied volatilities of options differ systematically over the 8220moneyness8221 of the option. This pattern of implied volatilities across exercise prices is known as the 8220volatility smile8221 or 8220volatility skew.8221 Studies such as 8220Implied Volatility8221 by Stewart Mayhew, Financial Analysts Journal, July-August 1995, have found that implied volatilities based on near-the-money options do as well as sophisticated weighted implied volatilities in estimating expected volatility. In addition, the staff believes that because near-the-money options are generally more actively traded, they may provide a better basis for deriving implied volatility. 48 The staff believes a company could use a weighted-average implied volatility based on traded options that are either in-the-money or out-of-the-money. For example, if the employee share option has an exercise price of 52, but the only traded options available have exercise prices of 50 and 55, then the staff believes that it is appropriate to use a weighted average based on the implied volatilities from the two traded options for this example, a 40 weight on the implied volatility calculated from the option with an exercise price of 55 and a 60 weight on the option with an exercise price of 50. 49 The staff believes it may also be appropriate to consider the entire term structure of volatility provided by traded options with a variety of remaining maturities. If a company considers the entire term structure in deriving implied volatility, the staff would expect a company to include some options in the term structure with a remaining maturity of six months or greater. 50 The staff believes the implied volatility derived from a traded option with a term of one year or greater would typically not be significantly different from the implied volatility that would be derived from a traded option with a significantly longer term. 51 FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-55-36 through 718-10-55-37. 52 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-35. 53 FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-55-18 and 718-10-55-39 discuss the incorporation of a range of expected volatilities into option pricing models. The staff believes that a company that utilizes an option pricing model that incorporates a range of expected volatilities over the option8217s contractual term should consider the factors listed in FASB ASC Topic 718, and those discussed in the Interpretive Responses to Questions 2 and 3 above, to determine the extent of its reliance (including exclusive reliance) on the derived implied volatility. 54 When near-the-money options are not available, the staff believes the use of a weighted-average approach, as noted in a previous footnote, may be appropriate. 55 See FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-38. A change in a company8217s business model that results in a material alteration to the company8217s risk profile is an example of a circumstance in which the company8217s future volatility would be expected to differ from its past volatility. Other examples may include, but are not limited to, the introduction of a new product that is central to a company8217s business model or the receipt of U. S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the sale of a new prescription drug. 56 If the expected or contractual term, as applicable, of the employee share option is less than three years, the staff believes monthly price observations would not provide a sufficient amount of data. 57 FASB ASC Section 718-10-50. 58 FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-50-2(f) (2) (ii). 59 FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-55-25 and 718-10-55-51. 60 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-25. 61 If a company operates in a number of different industries, it could look to several industry indices. However, when considering the volatilities of multiple companies, each operating only in a single industry, the staff believes a company should take into account its own leverage, the leverages of each of the entities, and the correlation of the entities8217 stock returns. 62 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-51. 63 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-25. 64 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-37. The staff believes that at least two years of daily or weekly historical data could provide a reasonable basis on which to base an estimate of expected volatility if a company has no reason to believe that its future volatility will differ materially during the expected or contractual term, as applicable, from the volatility calculated from this past information. If the expected or contractual term, as applicable, of a share option is shorter than two years, the staff believes a company should use daily or weekly historical data for at least the length of that applicable term. 65 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-40. 66 The staff notes the existence of academic literature that supports the assertion that the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model, with expected term as an input, can produce reasonable estimates of fair value. Such literature includes J. Carpenter, 8220The exercise and valuation of executive stock options,8221 Journal of Financial Economics, May 1998, pp.127-158 C. Marquardt, 8220The Cost of Employee Stock Option Grants: An Empirical Analysis,8221 Journal of Accounting Research, September 2002, p. 1191-1217) and J. Bettis, J. Bizjak and M. Lemmon, 8220Exercise behavior, valuation, and the incentive effect of employee stock options,8221 Journal of Financial Economics, forthcoming, 2005. 67 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-30-11. 68 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-31. 69 The staff believes the focus should be on groups of employees with significantly different expected exercise behavior. Academic research suggests two such groups might be executives and non-executives. A study by S. Huddart found executives and other senior managers to be significantly more patient in their exercise behavior than more junior employees. (Employee rank was proxied for by the number of options issued to that employee.) See S. Huddart, 8220Patterns of stock option exercise in the United States,8221 in: J. Carpenter and D. Yermack, eds. Executive Compensation and Shareholder Value: Theory and Evidence (Kluwer, Boston, MA, 1999), pp. 115-142. See also S. Huddart and M. Lang, 8220Employee stock option exercises: An empirical analysis,8221 Journal of Accounting and Economics, 1996, pp. 5-43. 70 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-13. 71 Historical share option exercise experience encompasses data related to share option exercise, post-vesting termination, and share option contractual term expiration. 72 For example, if a company had historically granted share options that were always in-the-money, and will grant at-the-money options prospectively, the exercise behavior related to the in-the-money options may not be sufficient as the sole basis to form the estimate of expected term for the at-the-money grants. 73 For example, if a company had a history of previous equity-based share option grants and exercises only in periods in which the company8217s share price was rising, the exercise behavior related to those options may not be sufficient as the sole basis to form the estimate of expected term for current option grants. 74 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-55-30. 75 Employee share options with these features are sometimes referred to as 8220plain vanilla8221 options. 76 In this fact pattern the requisite service period equals the vesting period. 77 Calculated as 1 year vesting term (for the first 25 vested) plus 2 year vesting term (for the second 25 vested) plus 3 year vesting term (for the third 25 vested) plus 4 year vesting term (for the last 25 vested) divided by 4 total years of vesting plus 10 year contractual life divided by 2 that is, (((1234)4) 10) 2 6.25 years. 78 J. N. Carpenter, 8220The exercise and valuation of executive stock options,8221 Journal of Financial Economics, 1998, pp.127-158 studies a sample of 40 NYSE and AMEX firms over the period 1979-1994 with share option terms reasonably consistent to the terms presented in the fact set and example. The mean time to exercise after grant was 5.83 years and the median was 6.08 years. The 8220mean time to exercise8221 is shorter than expected term since the study8217s sample included only exercised options. Other research on executive options includes (but is not limited to) J. Carr Bettis John M. Bizjak and Michael L. Lemmon, 8220Exercise behavior, valuation, and the incentive effects of employee stock options,8221 forthcoming in the Journal of Financial Economics. One of the few studies on nonexecutive employee options the staff is aware of is S. Huddart, 8220Patterns of stock option exercise in the United States,8221 in: J. Carpenter and D. Yermack, eds. Executive Compensation and Shareholder Value: Theory and Evidence (Kluwer, Boston, MA, 1999), pp. 115-142. 79 The terminology 8220outside the control of the issuer8221 is used to refer to any of the three redemption conditions described in Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X that would require classification outside permanent equity. That rule requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. 80 FASB ASC paragraphs 718-10-25-6 through 718-10-25-19. 81 ASR 268, July 27, 1979, Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X. 82 Related guidance includes FASB ASC paragraph 480-10-S99-3 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Topic). 83 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-35-13 states that an instrument ceases to be subject to this Topic when 8220the rights conveyed by the instrument to the holder are no longer dependent on the holder being an employee of the entity (that is, no longer dependent on providing service).8221 84 Instruments granted in conjunction with share-based payment arrangements with employees that do not by their terms require redemption for cash or other assets (at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer) would not be assumed by the staff to require net cash settlement for purposes of applying ASR 268 in circumstances in which FASB ASC Section 815-40-25, Derivatives and Hedging 8212 Contracts in Entity8217s Own Equity 8212 Recognition, would otherwise require the assumption of net cash settlement. See FASB ASC paragraph 815-40-25-11, which states, in part: 82208230the events or actions necessary to deliver registered shares are not controlled by an entity and, therefore, except under the circumstances described in FASB ASC paragraph 815-40-25-16, if the contract permits the entity to net share or physically settle the contract only by delivering registered shares, it is assumed that the entity will be required to net cash settle the contract.8221 See also FASB ASC subparagraph 718-10-25-15(a). 85 Depending on the fact pattern, this may be recorded as common stock and additional paid in capital. 86 The potential redemption amount of the share option in this illustration is its intrinsic value because the holder would pay the exercise price upon exercise of the option and then, upon redemption of the underlying shares, the company would pay the holder the fair value of those shares. Thus, the net cash outflow from the arrangement would be equal to the intrinsic value of the share option. In situations where there would be no cash inflows from the share option holder, the cash required to be paid to redeem the underlying shares upon the exercise of the put option would be the redemption value. 87 FASB ASC Topic 718 does not identify a specific line item in the income statement for presentation of the expense related to share-based payment arrangements. 88 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 89 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 90 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 91 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 92 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 93 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 94 FASB ASC paragraph 718-10-25-2. 95 Release No. 34-47986, June 5, 2003, Management8217s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Period Reports. 96 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 97 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 98 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 99 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 100 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 101 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 102 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 103 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 104 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 105 Original footnote removed by SAB 114. 106 Original footnote removed by SAB 114.
