Sudhir,
the value selected in the list will be stored in the controller variable ExpireTerms which you have mentioned in the value attribute.
did u check in this variable using debug logs ? is it not getting assiged in here ?

also i noticed you are having readonly = true in your select list. if you want to change the options then it should not be readonly.

You already have the selectlist value specified to a controller variable. So once you have a value selected, and an event is triggered to the controller, you will be able to reference the selectoption value with the expireterms variable. Is that what you are looking to do?

Hi Sudhir, 
Also , you need to be ensure that ExpireTerms variable has getter and setter methods in the related controller.If it has not setter method the selected value will not be assigned to this variable.

Good call on the getter/setter, that's a good guess as to the culprit.
