Nonqualified Stock Option financial

"Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy)"

A nonqualified stock option (NQSO) is a company grant that gives an individual the right to buy shares at a set price but does not meet special tax rules for incentive stock options; when exercised the difference between the market price and the exercise price is treated as ordinary income for the recipient and as a tax-deductible expense for the company. It matters to investors because NQSOs affect an employee’s after-tax proceeds, the company’s reported expenses, and potential share dilution—think of it like a cash bonus that converts into stock but is taxed as regular pay when you take it.
