327. Example An entity grants 100 options to each of its 500 employees. Each is conditional on the employee working for the entity over the next three years. Assume the fair value is £15. Based on weighted average probability, 20% of employees will leave during the three year period and thus forfeit their rights. The total fair value of options granted = 500 x 100 options x £15 x 80% = £600,000. The entity also estimates that the departures will occur evenly over three years.

The entity estimates that a further 60 will leave during years 2 and 3. During year 2, 40 employees leave and the entity estimates a further 25 will leave during year 3. During year 3, 22 employees leave and at the end of year 3, 150 employees exercise their SARs, another 140 exercise at the end of year 4 and the remaining 113 at the end of year 5.
