Form Overview
Stock Option arrangements are structured in a variety of formats. They can be documented as part of an employment agreement or stock purchase agreement. Stock Option arrangements can also be structured as part of a comprehensive plan for select groups such as employees or groups of employees. Key issues include the taxability of the option to the optionee, the availability of deductions on the issuance of the option by the corporation. Other key issues include the purchase price for the shares, the option period and any conversion rights. The taxability of stock options depends upon the type of stock plan adopted and you will want to consult with tax counsel before formally adopting your plan. These arrangements are also subject to state law so consultation with local corporate counsel is also advised. You can find answers to your questions using our extensive library of
audio questions and answers.
