Note 18. Share-based payments (a) Issue of Options and Performance Rights The fair values of the options and performance rights have been determined by an external party using a Trinomial Lattice model for options which defines the conditions under which employees are expected to exercise their options after vesting in terms of the share price reaching a specified multiple of the exercise price, and a Monte Carlo simulation for performance rights. Share price volatility has a powerful influence on the estimation of the fair value of an option and performance right, much of the value of which is derived from its potential appreciation. The more volatile the share price, the more valuable the option. Volatility for the fair value of the options has been determined by the external party performing the valuation using the historical 3 year volatility.
