(5)Stock-Based Compensation

鶹app grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation, as discussed below:

Grants vest monthly over one year.

In addition to the stock option grants to the 鶹app CEO and in connection with his employment agreement, 鶹app granted performance-based RSUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 鶹app granted 12 thousand and 86 thousand performance-based RSUs of Series C 鶹app Braves common stock and Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock, respectively. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $23.34 per share and $31.99 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted. The performance-based RSUs cliff vest in one year, subject to satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is remeasured at each reporting period.

The Company did not grant anyoptions to purchase SeriesA or SeriesB of 鶹app SiriusXM, 鶹app Braves or 鶹app Formula One common stock during the six months endedJune 30, 2018.

鶹app calculates the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified and certain performance-based awards using the Black-Scholes Model. 鶹app estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of 鶹app common stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded 鶹app options. 鶹app uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject Awards.
