The total fair value of Restricted Stock
 
Units that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $522,000. As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $34.7
million
 
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock
units
or performance stock awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of
4-5
years.
The unrecognized portion of share-based compensation for unvested Market Condition restricted stock units (included in above) is approximately
$4.5
 
million over
2.90
years. As detailed below, the fair value of the Market Condition restricted stock units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Performance Shares
The Company grants performa
n
ce-based awards to certain officers and key employees. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon meeting one or more defined operational or financial goals (a performance condition) or common stock share prices (a market condition).
The fair values of the performance condition awards granted were determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense recorded for performance condition awards is re-evaluated at each reporting period based on the probability of the achievement of the goal. The achievement of this goal was not probable as of March 31, 2021 and therefore
 
no
expense was recognized.
The fair value of market condition awards granted were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the market conditions will be achieved and is applied to the trading price of our common stock on the date of grant.
The input variables are noted in the table below:
 
    
2021
   
2020
 
Risk-free interest rate
     0.54     0.18
Expected life in years
     4       3  
Expected volatility
     63.3     65.9
Expected dividend yield (a)
     0     0
 
(a)
The Monte Carlo method assumes a reinvestment of dividends.
Share-based compensation expense is recorded ratably for market condition awards during the requisite service period and is not reversed, except for forfeitures, at the vesting date regardless of whether the market condition is met. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $248,000, representing a fair value of $11.04 per share, was recognized ratably as share-based compensation expense for the market condition awards.
Service Condition Shares
The Company grants service-based awards to certain officers and key employees. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon meeting the requisite service period.
The fair value of restricted stock unit awards is determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period.
