About Stock Option Agreements Such an option, once granted to the employee, gives the employee the opportunity to benefit from increases in the company's share value by granting the right to buy shares at a future point in time at a price equal to the fair market value of such shares at the time of the grant.
Stock option agreement This document usually includes details like the type of stock options you get, how many shares you get, your strike price, and your vesting schedule (we'll get to this in the vesting section). Your stock option agreement should also specify its expiration date.
Initiate an Exercise-and-Sell-to-Cover Transaction Exercise your stock options to buy shares of your company stock, then sell just enough of the company shares (at the same time) to cover the stock option cost, taxes, and brokerage commissions and fees.
You can only sell your private company shares if you exercise your stock options and purchase those shares first. Depending on the strike price, though, you may not have enough cash to exercise your options, especially if your company requires you to hold onto it for a certain period of time before selling.
Option Contract ExampleYou expect Company XYZ's stock price to go up to $90 within the next month. You find out that you can buy an option contract for this company at $4.50 with a strike price of $75 per share. That means you'll pay $450 for your options contract ($4.50 x 100 shares).
