An option (Swedish: option) is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a set price (the strike price) within a certain period. A call option gives the right to buy and a put option the right to sell. The issuer takes on the corresponding obligation.
In unlisted companies, options are often used in incentive programs, for example warrants and employee stock options. The terms and any vesting govern when the holder can receive shares or compensation.
