Non-qualified Stock Option financial
"security_title: "Non-qualified Stock Option (Right to Buy)""
A non-qualified stock option (NSO) is a contract that lets an employee or service provider buy company shares at a fixed price for a set period, like a voucher to purchase stock later at today’s price. It matters to investors because exercising NSOs creates ordinary income for the holder and can increase share count, affecting a company’s earnings and ownership mix; think of it as a future sale that can dilute existing shareholders and has immediate tax consequences for the recipient.
derivative exercise/conversion financial
"transaction_action: "derivative exercise/conversion""
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action: "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
net exercise financial
"Represents the number of shares withheld by the Issuer as a result of the net exercise of stock options"
A net exercise is a way to convert stock options into shares without paying cash up front: instead of handing over money to buy the optioned shares, the holder receives only the number of shares equal to the option’s value after the company withholds a portion of shares to cover the exercise price and taxes. It matters to investors because it changes how many new shares are issued, affects dilution of existing shareholders, and alters company cash flow compared with a cash exercise.
