Key Terms

incentive stock options financial

"it has granted a total of 3,355,000 incentive stock options to certain"

Incentive stock options are a type of employee stock option that gives eligible workers the right to buy company shares at a fixed price later on, often below future market value. They matter to investors because they align employee incentives with company performance, can dilute existing ownership when exercised, and create potential tax advantages for option holders if certain holding-time rules are met — think of them as a coupon to buy stock at today’s price with extra tax rules attached.

stock option plan financial

"in accordance with the Company's stock option plan."

A stock option plan is a company program that gives employees the right to buy company shares at a preset price after a certain time, like a coupon allowing purchase later at a fixed rate. It matters to investors because these options can increase the number of shares outstanding — reducing each existing share’s ownership slice and potentially changing per-share results — while also aligning employee incentives with boosting the company’s value.
