incentive stock options technical
"convert to incentive stock options"
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.
