�鶹app—Incentive Plans

�鶹app grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock (“RSAs”), 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.

Pursuant to the �鶹app 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), the company may grant Awards to purchase shares of Series��A, Series��B and Series��C �鶹app common stock. The 2017 Plan provides for Awards to be made in respect of a maximum of 50.0��million shares of �鶹app common stock. Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-10 years. �鶹app issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

In addition to the stock option grants to the �鶹app CEO, and in connection with his employment agreement, the Company granted time-based and performance-based RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 9 thousand, 7 thousand and 3 thousand time-based RSUs of Series C common stock of �鶹app SiriusXM, �鶹app Formula One and �鶹app Braves, respectively, to our CEO. ��The RSUs had a GDFV of $33.11, $24.68 and $18.17 per share, respectively, and cliff vested on December 10, 2020. These RSU grants were issued in lieu of our CEO receiving 50% of his remaining base salary for the last three quarters of calendar year 2020, and he waived his right to receive the other 50%, in each case, in light of the ongoing financial impact of COVID-19. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted 12 thousand and 2 thousand time-based RSUs of Series C �鶹app Formula One common stock and Series C �鶹app Braves common stock, respectively, to our CEO. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $33.94 per share and $27.73 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted and cliff vested on March 11, 2019. During the years ended December��31, 2021 and 2019, the Company granted 65 thousand and 60 thousand performance-based RSUs, respectively, of Series��C �鶹app Formula One common stock to our CEO.

Such RSUs had a GDFV of $31.24 per share and $27.73 per share, respectively. The 2021 and 2019 performance-based RSUs cliff vest

one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives and based on an amount determined by the compensation committee. 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 re-measured at each reporting period.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series��A or Series��B �鶹app SiriusXM, �鶹app Formula One or �鶹app Braves common stock during the year ended December��31, 2021.

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made in 2021, 2020 and 2019, the range of expected terms was 5.3 to 6.3 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of �鶹app’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded �鶹app options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

The following table presents the volatilities used by the Company in the Black-Scholes Model for the 2021, 2020 and 2019 grants.
