exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price: 1.6400"
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
vesting financial
"All of the stock options will vest on April 1, 2027"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

FAQ

What insider transaction did BYSI director Matthew Kirkby report?

Matthew Kirkby reported receiving a grant of stock options for 23,902 BeyondSpring Inc. ordinary shares. The options were awarded as compensation, not purchased in the market, and give him the right to buy shares at a set exercise price in the future.

How many BeyondSpring (BYSI) shares are covered by Kirkby’s new options?

The grant covers options on 23,902 ordinary shares of BeyondSpring Inc. These options give Kirkby the right to buy that number of shares if he chooses to exercise them after they vest and before they expire, subject to the plan’s terms.

What is the exercise price of Matthew Kirkby’s BYSI stock options?

The stock options have an exercise price of $1.64 per share. This means Kirkby can buy BeyondSpring ordinary shares at $1.64 each once the options vest, regardless of the market price at that time, if he decides to exercise.

When do Matthew Kirkby’s BeyondSpring stock options vest?

All of the granted stock options will vest on April 1, 2027. Vesting is conditional on Kirkby’s continuous service with BeyondSpring Inc. through that date, meaning he must remain with the company until then to receive full rights.

When do the newly granted BYSI stock options held by Kirkby expire?

The options expire on April 1, 2036. After that date, any unexercised options will lapse and can no longer be used to purchase BeyondSpring ordinary shares, so the usable window runs from vesting in 2027 until this expiration date.

Under which plan were Matthew Kirkby’s BeyondSpring options granted?

The options were granted under BeyondSpring Inc.’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. This plan governs equity-based compensation awards such as stock options, setting terms for vesting, exercise, and other conditions applicable to participating directors and employees.
