A stock option program means a limited company gives certain people — often employees or key individuals — the right to buy shares in the future at a set price. Options are used to attract, retain and motivate staff, especially in startups.
When options are granted and later exercised, they can lead to new shares being issued, affecting the share capital and the cap table. There are different types, such as warrants and employee stock options. All option-related events should be recorded so the share ledger and future ownership stay traceable. NVR lets you manage all types of options — see how.
