"security_title: Stock Option (Right to Buy)"
exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price: 0.1780"
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.
expiration date financial
"expiration_date: 2036-06-11T00:00:00.000Z"
The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised.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.

FAQ
What did Don Wright do in this International Stem Cell (ISCO) Form 4?

He received options on 182,584 shares at an exercise price of $0.178 and options on 30,000 shares at $0.170. Both grants relate to International Stem Cell common stock and provide the right to buy shares at those prices.

Are Don Wright’s ISCO Form 4 transactions open-market buys or sells?
No. The Form 4 shows option grants classified as acquisitions under code A. These are awards from International Stem Cell, not open‑market purchases or sales, so they mainly reflect equity-based compensation rather than trading activity.
