exercise price financial

"Exercise price represents a per Klarna Group plc ordinary share exercise price of USD 13.04"

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.
