The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units (鈥淩SUs鈥) and options to purchase shares of the Company鈥檚 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 (鈥淕DFV鈥) 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 selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are $18 million and $23 million of stock-based compensation during the three months ended June听30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $37 million and $46 million of stock-based compensation during the six months ended June听30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table presents the number and weighted average GDFV of options granted by the Company during the six months ended June听30, 2019:

In addition to the stock option grant to the 含羞草传媒 Chairman of the Board and in connection with our Chairman鈥檚 employment agreement, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, 含羞草传媒 granted 213 thousand RSUs of Series B 含羞草传媒 common stock of which 194 thousand were performance-based. The Series B RSUs had a GDFV of $17.90 per share at the time they were granted. 听The time-based RSUs cliff vested on March 11, 2019, and the performance-based RSUs cliff vest in one year, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. 听During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 含羞草传媒 also granted approximately 191 thousand performance-based RSUs of Series A 含羞草传媒 common stock to its CEO. 听The Series A RSUs had a GDFV of $17.90 per share at the time they were granted and will 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 compensation expense recognized. When the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The probability of satisfying the performance objectives is assessed at the end of each reporting period. 听

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified Awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified Awards and certain performance-based Awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. The Company 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 含羞草传媒's stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded 含羞草传媒 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.
