Stock Appreciation Right financial
"security_title: "Stock Appreciation Right" with 1,000 underlying shares of Common Stock"
A stock appreciation right (SAR) is a form of employee pay that gives the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's share price over a set reference price, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy stock first. It matters to investors because SARs can create future cash outflows or dilute existing shareholders if settled in stock, and they align employee incentives with share-price performance like a bonus tied to a home's price rise.
