Authorized stock is the max amount of shares that a company can issue. Generally, a company will not issue 100% of the authorized stock, so issued stock will be less than the authorized amount. Issued stock can be held by the company, held by employees, or held by the general public.
Authorized shares that have not yet been issued may be set aside as reserved shares. Reserved shares can be used by the company as part of future stock option plans. These reserve shares may not be issued unless it's done under the stock option plan.
