Strike price

Strike price

A strike price is the predetermined price per share at which an option entitles the holder to trade.

What is a strike price?

A strike price (Swedish: lösenpris), also called exercise price, is the set price per share at which the holder of an option has the right to buy or sell the underlying share. For warrants, the term subscription price is often used.

 

Strike price in option programs

In a stock option program, the strike price and vesting determine what the option is worth to the participant. If the share's value is below the strike price, it is an out-of-the-money option. On option exercise, new shares are entered in the share ledger.
