Stock Appreciation Right financial
"Security title reported as Stock Appreciation Right with 1,000 underlying shares."
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.
