Beginning with the term commenced after January 1, 2018, non-employee directors were given the option to receive all or a portion of their cash retainer for their services in the form of a stock option award. The number of options received is calculated using the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Each of these options vest in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period measured from the date of grant, or, if earlier, vesting in full on the date of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held in the year following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service as a director.
The Company will also reimburse its non-employee directors for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings.
In addition, under the Company’s director compensation program, each non-employee director elected to the Board after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering will receive an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each of these options will vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period measured from the date of grant, subject to the director’s continued service as a director, and will become exercisable in full upon a change in control of the Company. Further, on the date of the first Board meeting held after each annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director that has served on the Board for at least six months will receive an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each of these options will vest in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period measured from the date of grant, subject to the director’s continued service as a director, and will become exercisable in full upon a change in control of the Company. The exercise price of these options will equal the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
