Key Terms

3 terms

Stock Options financial

"security_title: Stock Options granted to the director"

Stock options are agreements that give a person the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. They are often used as a reward or incentive, similar to a coupon that can be used later if the stock price rises, allowing the holder to make a profit.

Common Stock financial

"underlying_security_title: Common Stock linked to the options"

Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.

vesting financial

"shares subject to the award vested on March 10, 2026; the remaining shares will vest monthly"

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.

The grant covers 110,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.29 per share and an expiration date of March 9, 2036. These options relate to Guided Therapeutics common stock and represent a long-dated equity incentive for the director’s future service.
