2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under our 2018 ESPP, employees may set aside up to 15% of their gross earnings, on an after-tax basis, to purchase our common stock at a discounted price, which is calculated at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of an offering or on the date of purchase. The 2018 ESPP permits offerings up to 27 months in duration, with one or more purchase periods in each offering. Additionally, in cases where the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of a new purchase period within an offering is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the beginning of the offering, that offering will be terminated and participants will be automatically enrolled in a new offering with a new 24-month duration and purchase periods everysix months.

A summary of our ESPP activity is presented below:

At December 31, 2025 and 2024 there were $7.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of employee contributions to the 2018 ESPP included in accrued compensation.

Estimating the fair value of ESPP purchase rights using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires assumptions as to the fair value of common stock, expected term, expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield.

Fair Value of Common Stock. We use the market price of our common stock at the date of grant.

Expected Term. We use the actual purchase periods as the expected term in the 2018 ESPP.

Expected Volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as a share price, has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. We use the historical volatility of our common stock to estimate expected volatility.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. This is the U.S. Treasury rate, having a term that most closely resembles the expected life of the stock option.

Expected Dividend Yield. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

The fair value of the 2018 ESPP purchase rights was estimated on the offering or modification dates using the following assumptions:

Under the evergreen provision in our 2018 ESPP, in January 2025 we reserved an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock. At December 31, 2025, there were 11.2 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 ESPP.
