An employee stock option is a type of stock option program that gives an employee the right to buy shares in the limited company in the future at a set price. It is used to attract and retain key people, especially in startups.
Some employee options can be tax-favoured (qualified employee stock options). When the options are exercised, shares are issued, which affects the share capital and the cap table and must be recorded in the share ledger.
A qualified employee stock option (KPO) is an option taxed favourably if statutory requirements are met.
