The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised. It matters to investors because it determines the timeframe during which they can take action or benefit from the contract, similar to how a coupon or a food item has a limited period of usefulness. Once the expiration date passes, the contract loses its value or ability to be used.
