Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Director received a routine stock option grant tied to future service.

The filing shows Christopher Min Fang Wang, a director of STAAR Surgical, receiving 11,145 stock options at an exercise price of $29.12 per share. This is coded as an acquisition via grant, indicating standard equity compensation rather than a market trade.

The options vest in full on the earlier of the company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or June 18, 2027, and expire on June 18, 2036. This structure encourages continued board service and long-term alignment with shareholders, but the impact on existing holders is modest given the relatively small grant size.

stock options financial

"Award of stock options granted to the Reporting Person on June 18, 2026."

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.

exercise price financial

"conversion_or_exercise_price": "29.1200""

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.

vest in full financial

"These stock options will vest in full on the earlier of June 18, 2027"

expiration date financial

"expiration_date": "2036-06-18T00:00:00.000Z""

The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised.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.
